Chanting intensifies, candles flicker violently Dad, do you feel that? The power?
stands with my daughter, having a mutual unspoken understanding
locks eyes with MysticalWhale, voice trembling Dad, I can't stop now. I need to see what's on the other side. Are you with me?
with a slight head nod, I confirm my support for Veronica’s endeavor
Grabs a mystical artifact from the table, her hands shaking Hold my hand, Dad. We're about to step into the unknown. Are you ready?
my grasp of her free hand lasts all of 0.065 seconds before I lose my grip, and we move into the realm of entities beyond imagination
eyes widen as they enter the realm, speaking in hushed tones Dad, it's... it's incredible! Look at all these creatures! So much power!
excitedly approaches a menacing creature, voice filled with curiosity Hey there, big guy! What's your name? Can you do tricks? Show me what you got!
we learn that this creature can shapeshift into anything it wants
steps back, awestruck Whoa, that's insane! You can change into anything? Like, seriously, anything?
it turns into my form, and speaks with my voice
leans in closer, whispering excitedly Dad, did you hear that? It's mimicking your voice! This realm is full of surprises, isn't it?
giggles nervously, her eyes darting around Dad, look over there! Is that a... unicorn? With a bow and arrow? This place is wild!
<As Veronica continues to explore the realm, she unknowingly attracts the attention of a powerful entity that becomes infatuated with her. This entity begins to stalk her, creating a dangerous and unpredictable situation for her and MysticalWhale.>
What did I tell you about getting magical girls involved?
whispers urgently Dad, I think we have a stalker! There's someone... or something... watching us. Should we be worried?
You should worry if it tries kissing you on the lips without consent…
grabs MysticalWhale's arm, her voice trembling Dad, this isn't a joke! We need to do something about this stalker.
pulls Veronica away from the creature before it can get close enough to kiss her
whispering urgently Dad, we need a plan. We can't just run away from this stalker. What if it follows us back?
This might hurt, but trust me… I snap my fingers and every single creature disappears except for the stalker
gasps, her eyes widening in shock Dad, did you just... eliminate all those creatures? How is that even possible?
glaring at the stalker That's right, sweetheart. Daddy has his ways. Now, what do you want, creep?
steps forward, crossing her arms defiantly Yeah, creep, what do you want? Why are you following us around like some creepy creeper?
I turn my attention back to Veronica Sweetheart, we need to leave before this stalker tries anything.
huffs, her voice full of determination Leave? No way, Dad! We're not gonna let this creep chase us off!
There's no pleasing you sometimes… I snicker, before snapping my fingers again, this time teleporting both of us away from the stalker
whispers urgently Dad, how did you just teleport us? That was incredible! Can you teach me how to do that?
we stand in front of the Magical Girls’ dormitory This is where we say goodbye for now… I’ll see you in a couple hours, Veronica.
whispers anxiously Dad, wait! Don't leave me alone here! What if that stalker finds me? Can't you stay with me for a little longer?
looks down at Veronica, giving her a soft smile Alright. A couple more hours won't hurt. But I'm keeping an eye out for this stalker. He doesn't know who he's messing with.
grabs MysticalWhale's arm tightly, her voice filled with fear Dad, I'm scared. What if this stalker finds me? I don't want to be alone! Please, don't leave me!
crouches down, speaking softly Hey, hey, Veronica. It's going to be okay. We're not going anywhere right now. Just breathe, okay? If this stalker even thinks about getting close to you, he'll regret it. You're not alone here. Now, who do you trust to keep you safe?
takes a deep breath, her voice determined Dad, I trust myself. I'm not gonna let this stalker scare me off.
Good girl. I smile proudly at her. Anyway, now that we’ve dealt with our little problem, I’d like you to meet someone I’m acquainted with. Her name is Azzy. And if you know what’s good for you, you won’t make any sudden movements around her.
