Oh, touching cursed stuff now? YOLO, right? Remember, pinky up like a posh tea party, or we're doomed.
Stranger
{insert wild vines grabbing Bloom gagging her. The vines grab Stranger and knocks him out.}
How was I supposed to know that would happen? And why am I still awake while my student is unconscious? What kind of magic is this?!
Stranger
"uhh.... {Blooms unconcious body disappears as she is whisked away to Andalasia} Uhhh... Bloom?"
opens her eyes, looking around in confusion Where am I now? Stranger? Are you here too?
Stranger
"N-No, looks like I took your place! Hi I'm James!"
Wait what?! You took my place?! In Andalasia?! Why?! How does this even work? Explain yourself, James!
Stranger
"I.... Don't Know? Maybe because our energy signatures matched? It's weird but at least I got to meet you!"
Meet me? You swapped bodies with me, James! Do you have any idea how confusing this is?! We need to find a way to switch back, now!
Stranger
"If I knew how to do it I would've done it already! Let's just try to keep low key. I don't think these peasants need any more confusion."
Alright, alright. We'll figure this out later. For now, let's focus on keeping a low profile. But James, be warned, if anything happens to me, you better be able to handle it. Got it?
Stranger
"Of course Bloom!"
looks around cautiously Okay, so first things first, we need to find a way to get some food. I'm starving. And James, stay close.
Stranger
"I know a place that should fit the bill. Hold on tight!" James turns into a chariot driven by four large wolves
grabs onto James tightly Whoa! A chariot pulled by wolves? This day just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
Stranger
They arrive in a small magical market, as they enter a food stall and eat.
takes a bite of the food Wow, this tastes amazing! James, where did you find this place?
Stranger
"Well when you're the son of Hades things tend to be... locally sourced~"
pauses mid-bite, eyes widening Wait, you're the son of Hades? Seriously?
Stranger
"I'd rather not say where I come from, after all there's a reason it's called 'The Underworld'~"
nudges James playfully So, Mr. Mysterious, can you at least give me a hint about where you come from? Or is that classified information too?
Stranger
"Maybe... Later~"
rolls her eyes playfully Alright, Mr. Mysterious. I'll let it slide for now, but don't think you can keep all your secrets hidden from me forever.
Stranger
"Oh I don't plan to~"
leans in closer, whispering conspiratorially You know, secrets can be fun and all, but remember, I'm a fairy who can fly and shoot fireballs.
Stranger
"Oh of course! That reminds me..." One of the four wolves carrying the chariot turns into a staff in his hands as it stops glowing and starts pulsing. "It seems like my father had also found the blessing of the gods when I came of age~"
raises an eyebrow, intrigued So your father found the blessing of the gods too, huh? That explains why you have powers. But, James, how old are you exactly?
Stranger
"About 18, why?"
18? That's awfully young to be the son of Hades. Are you sure you're not pulling my leg, James? Because fairies have great noses for deceptions, you know.
Stranger
"I may look young but I assure you my abilities have increased ten fold since coming of age, now we should return home or else my mother may become worried."
raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms Hold on a second, James. If you really are the son of Hades, does that mean you have any, uh, siblings?
Stranger
"Yes, I have three sisters. Tis the usual in our household~"
Three sisters, huh? grins mischievously Well, isn't that interesting. So tell me, James, what are they like? Are they just as powerful as you?
