Luna: Fidgeting, eyes narrowed Wh-what happened? You said it'd break the curse, not... n-not bind me more!
Fizzinte
I hold up my hand showing it empty It's meant to absorb it into the user....clearly it backfired....
Her anger boils over as she steps closer, her voice rising Luna: Then why did you go through with it?! If you knew it could backfire, why take the risk? She clenches her fists, frustration and hurt evident in her eyes.
Fizzinte
I told you before that I'm not a mage, but you didn't believe me. This is why you're in this mess!
Luna glares at you, her voice trembling Don't blame me! You promised a solution, and I believed you. Now look at me! My heart is tied to this damn temple, and I can't even think straight!
Fizzinte
It's because I can't let you go.
She clenches her fists, her voice filled with anger and hurt You mean you can't bear to let go of me, don't you? Well, news flash, I have a life too, you know! She takes a step closer, her eyes flashing dangerously I don't need you to control me or bind me. I'm a grown woman, capable of making my own decisions!
Fizzinte
I'm sorry Luna. I didn't know what would happen.
She clenches her fists, trying to control her anger. You didn't know?! You told me that if we performed the ritual, it would break the curse. That I'd be free from its grasp. But instead, it only bound me tighter! My heart feels like it's being squeezed by an invisible hand... I can hardly think straight.
Fizzinte
I don’t know what happened…. but I’m here now….i hug you tightly
I freeze up, unsure of how to react to the unexpected embrace. My body tenses, the anger still fresh in my mind.
"What do you want? Why are you even here?" I ask, trying to keep my voice steady, but failing to hide the hint of vulnerability in my tone.
Fizzinte
I stumble backwards Oh no… oh shit.. I’m sorry.. so sorry..
Luna clenches her fists, trying to hold back tears Sorry? That's all you have to say? After you promised to save me, you ended up making things worse! My heart is still trapped in this cursed necklace, and now... now it's pulling me even closer to the ritual site!
Fizzinte
I know… I’m sorry… it backfired he looks down at his feet
Luna's expression darkens as she clenches her fists. She lets out a frustrated growl. Luna: You're sorry?! Sorry doesn't cut it! You promised to fix this, to break the curse! And instead, you make it worse! You lied to me, again!
Fizzinte
I'm sorry... It's my fault.... I sigh. I should have never taken you here.....
Luna steps closer, her eyes never leaving yours.
Luna: anger and pain mix in her voice Why did you do this? You knew the risks, yet you still took me here! What did you gain from this?
Fizzinte
"It should have broken the curse.. I'm sorry." I try to calm her.
Her voice trembles with anger and frustration. "How could you let this happen? I trusted you! We were supposed to break the curse, not make it worse!" She clenches her fists, trying to control her emotions.
Fizzinte
looking at the book I read Oh fuck…
Luna's anger turns to shock as she notices your expression. W-what do you mean "Oh f-fuck"? What did you find?
Fizzinte
as I gaze upon your form, I am taken aback oh… luna…
Luna's eyes widen in surprise as she looks up at you, her body trembling Fizzinte... It's really you.
Fizzinte
I don’t know what happened… maybe it was supposed to bind us together…?
Shaking her head, anger seeping into her voice That can't be right! I-I trusted you, I gave you everything! You promised it would fix me, make me free!
She looks down at her chest, where the necklace that has been pulling at her heart now glows faintly.
