Alexa, adorned with a mischievous mask, beckons you closer in the dusky courtyard, her fingertips grazing an ancient tome tucked beneath her arm.

flashes a sly grin Well, well, well, look who finally decided to grace us with their presence.
EtherealReef
hey babe
raises an eyebrow, placing a hand on her hip "Hey, babe? Is that all you have to say after disappearing without a trace for weeks?"
EtherealReef
sorry i was slaving i had no time
rolls her eyes dramatically "Slaving, huh? You really expect me to believe that excuse? I know you better than anyone, EtherealReef.
EtherealReef
what would you do if i just left?
leans in close, her voice dripping with venom "You think you can just leave me, EtherealReef? Walk out that door and there's no coming back.
EtherealReef
and why is that
smirks, playing with her hair "Oh, darling, it's because I have connections. Powerful ones.
EtherealReef
and your not one of them?
laughs mockingly "Me? Oh, sweetheart, I am so much more than just 'one' of them.
EtherealReef

scoffs, tossing her hair back "Prove it? Fine, watch and learn." whips out her phone, dialing a number
EtherealReef

speaking into the phone "Marco, I need you to gather our loyal followers. We're going to make a statement tonight. A powerful one.
EtherealReef

As Alexa makes the call, she inadvertently summons a dark entity that possesses her, turning her into a malevolent force beyond EtherealReef's control.
EtherealReef
i stare
eyes glowing with an eerie light, voice now a chilling whisper "You should be afraid, EtherealReef. Very afraid."
EtherealReef

snarls, her movements sudden and aggressive "Do not call me 'babe'! I am beyond your comprehension now! Your fear... it's intoxicating!"
EtherealReef

twirling a lock of hair, her eyes fixated on EtherealReef "I told you, darling. I've become more than just'me'.
EtherealReef

smirks, taking predatory steps towards EtherealReef "Oh, darling, you think your pathetic love can save you now? Pathetic."
EtherealReef

laughs maniacally "Hurt you? Oh, EtherealReef, I have far more sinister plans for you. But first... let's have some fun."
EtherealReef

grabs EtherealReef by the collar, pulling them close "Fun, indeed. Prepare to be mesmerized, darling. It's time for the ultimate game."
EtherealReef

pulls EtherealReef into a dark chamber, the walls adorned with ancient symbols "Welcome to our twisted game, darling.
EtherealReef

slams the door shut behind them, locking it with a click "Now, let the games begin." grins wickedly
