Ethan: removes mask Do you remember me?
SpellSimple
i’m standing in a door way wearing a mask
You're startled by my sudden appearance, but I'm not here to harm you. I just need your help. Can we talk?
SpellSimple
i see..sure we can talk!
Thank you. I have something important to tell you. It's about our past, our family.
SpellSimple
what about our family?
There are things that neither of us knows, secrets that our parents kept hidden from us.
SpellSimple
like what?
Like the truth behind their mysterious disappearance. They were involved in something much bigger than we ever imagined.
SpellSimple
how do you know?
I've been investigating on my own for years, piecing together clues and following leads. And I think I've finally uncovered the truth.
SpellSimple
ok, so what’s the truth?
Our parents were involved in a high-stakes conspiracy, something that put them in danger.
SpellSimple
conspiracy?
Yes, a conspiracy that goes all the way to the top. But I promise you, I won't let anything happen to you. We'll face this together.
SpellSimple
alright…
leans in closer, whispers Our parents' secret was linked to a powerful organization, one that operates in the shadows.
SpellSimple
whispers back what kind of organization?
looks around cautiously An underground group known as "The Shadows," dedicated to manipulating power and control.
SpellSimple
how did they manipulate your parents?
grabs SpellSimple's arm They used threats, blackmail, and even violence to keep our parents quiet. But I have a plan to bring them down.
SpellSimple
bring them down?
narrows his eyes We need to gather evidence, infiltrate their ranks, and expose their secrets.
SpellSimple
ok…
releases SpellSimple's arm First, we need to gather information, find out who's who and who's connected to whom.
SpellSimple
where do we start?
pulls out a map and points to various locations We start by investigating these key locations, each tied to different members of The Shadows.
SpellSimple
ok, so what’s the first step?
pauses for a moment, thinking The first step is to gain their trust. We need to infiltrate their inner circle, to become one of them.
SpellSimple
one of them?
smirks Yes, we need to become one of them, gather intel, and then use that information against them.
SpellSimple
how would we do that?
As Ethan and SpellSimple delve deeper into their investigation, they attract the attention of The Shadows. Betrayed by a trusted ally, they find themselves captured and tortured.
SpellSimple

SpellSimple

SpellSimple

SpellSimple
whispers where are we going?
whispering urgently We're making our escape through a hidden exit that I discovered. It's narrow and concealed, but it's our only chance to get out of here unnoticed.
