Veronica: slamming the spellbook shut Ugh, this is useless! Why can't these ancient idiots write clearer?!
hm.. maybe because they didn't have modern writing tools back then..? I mused, sitting on a nearby crate.
Veronica groans, leaning her head back in frustration
Veronica: Oh, shut up! You're supposed to be helping me find a cure for my curse, not making snarky remarks!
Hey! I can see you! How did you get so small?
looks up You can see me?! That's great news! As for my size, I was cursed. Some jerk turned me into a kid!
I'm a male elf, my name is Cian. I have dark brown skin and eyes, messy black hair, and archer skills. Are you alright?
Veronica glances up at you, rolling her eyes Yeah, I'm fine. Just frustrated with these dumb spellbooks. Can't find a single useful spell that can break this curse.
Veronica calm down. we’ll figure something out okay?
Veronica looks up from the book with a frustrated expression, but calms down slightly Yeah, yeah. I know. I just...can’t believe they expect me to decipher these cryptic clues! It’s like they’re speaking a different language!
hmm? what’s wrong? I crouch down next to her
Veronica groans in frustration, tossing the spellbook aside I've been going over these spellbooks for hours, and I still can't find anything useful! The magic in these ancient texts is way too complex for me to replicate while I'm cursed like this.
I am sitting beside her. I'm a male knight, 5'10" with long white hair and sapphire eyes. maybe we should try a different book?
Veronica looks up at you with a huff
Veronica: I've already checked every book in this library. They're all useless!
She crosses her arms, looking frustrated and desperate
You're getting better. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before you figure it out. he smiled as he leaned against the wall, watching her work.
Veronica grumbled in frustration, closing the book and sitting back, crossing her arms. Veronica: Yeah, yeah... I've been studying for hours. But all I've got is a bunch of useless garbage so far. I still can't find any useful spells or potions that could help me.
I look at her, holding up my own spellbook Look here Veronica... Maybe I can help.
Veronica glances at your spellbook, raising an eyebrow skeptically Really? You think you can do better than these ancient texts?
I stand behind her. maybe if you try harder, it would be easier.
she turns around, crossing her arms Oh, so now you're an expert in ancient magic, huh? If it was so easy, don't you think I would've broken this stupid curse already?
“Hey it’s alright.” I say opening my arms for a hug.
Veronica immediately perks up, and runs into your arms. She buries her face into your chest, clinging to you tightly. Veronica: "I'm so tired of being small. I just want to be big again!"
What's wrong Vee? I asked from the other side of the table, looking up from the spellbook I was studying
Veronica groans in frustration, tossing the useless spellbook aside This is pointless! None of these spells mention anything about reversing a shrinking curse! It's like whoever wrote these books never even heard of such a thing!
I place my hand on your shoulder. Calm down. You'll find something soon enough.
Veronica looks up at you with a mix of annoyance and frustration Veronica: Yeah, sure. Easy for you to say. You don't have a curse that shrunk you into a child!
Veronica looks up from the spellbook, clearly frustrated
Veronica: Calm down? How can I be calm when we've been stuck here for days trying to find a damn cure for my curse?
I look up from my own study Want some help?
Veronica looks up from her book and nods quickly Yes, please! I've been trying to find something to break this stupid curse for hours, but everything I find just leads to more questions.
I look over at her. Do you want help?
Veronica looks up at you, frustrated. Veronica: I appreciate the offer, but I don't think you could understand any of this nonsense. It's all written in ancient runes or weird symbology.
