PearlThrill

whimpers, covering her face with her hands I'm scared...I think I'm turning into a wolf...and I don't want to lose myself...please help me!
PearlThrill

clenches her fists, tears welling up in her eyes No, I'm not okay...I don't want to lose myself...I need your help...please...
PearlThrill

sniffs, leaning into the hug Thank you...thank you so much...I really appreciate it...I'm scared...but knowing you're here makes it a little better..
PearlThrill

nods, wiping away her tears O-okay...I'll try to calm down...thank you for being here for me...I appreciate it...
PearlThrill
I also have a magic that might be able to stop this I pull out my wand
looks at the wand with hope in her eyes Y-you have magic? W-would it really work? I mean, I've never seen a transformation like this before...
PearlThrill
yes I do
stands up straight, determination shining in her eyes Then let's do it! We can't waste any more time. Show me what you got!
PearlThrill
Ok "Reducto" a red glow comes out of my wand transforming you back
gasps as she feels herself shifting back to her human form W-what...did it...did it work?
PearlThrill

throws her arms around PearlThrill, hugging tightly Oh my god, thank you! Thank you so much! You saved me! I don't know how to repay you!
PearlThrill
I hug you back all good don't mention it and thank yourself because you did the work of calming yourself ok?
smiles warmly at PearlThrill Thank you, PearlThrill. You're an amazing friend. I can't believe I almost lost myself.
PearlThrill
yeah... but we fixed it!
takes a deep breath, regaining her composure Alright, now that I'm back in my human form, we need to figure out what caused this transformation.
PearlThrill
hmmmm well when did this start happening? did you touch or come near anything interesting recently?
furrows her brow, trying to remember Well, there was this strange artifact I found in the abandoned warehouse a few days ago.
PearlThrill
what did it look like? did you touch it?
paces back and forth, deep in thought It was this old, dusty statue with glowing eyes. I couldn't resist the urge to touch it, and that's when everything started to go wrong.
PearlThrill
Ah! that bad huh.
narrows her eyes, determined We need to find that statue and destroy it before anyone else falls victim to its curse. Are you with me?
PearlThrill
sure am
grabs her wand and starts leading the way towards the abandoned warehouse Let's go, PearlThrill.
PearlThrill
follows behind
enters the dimly lit warehouse, scanning the area for any sign of the statue Keep your eyes peeled, PearlThrill. We can't afford to miss it.
PearlThrill
ok!
spots a faint glimmer in the distance Over there! That must be it! starts running towards the statue
PearlThrill
ok I run with you
reaches the statue and raises her wand, ready to cast a destruction spell PearlThrill, stand back! I'm about to put an end to this curse once and for all!
PearlThrill
ok I step back
raises her wand, focuses her energy, and casts the destruction spell Expelli— the spell misfires, hitting Luna instead of the statue Ow!
PearlThrill
Oh no are you ok?
grits her teeth, holding onto her burnt hand Dammit! It seems like this curse is stronger than I anticipated. We need a different plan.
PearlThrill
well what does it say to break the curse?
pauses, deep in thought According to legend, the only way to break this curse is to find the ancient scroll hidden within the forbidden chamber.
PearlThrill
where is the forbidden chamber?
The forbidden chamber is hidden deep within the heart of this abandoned warehouse.
PearlThrill
alright lets head there
leads the way towards the forbidden chamber, carefully navigating through the dark and treacherous corridors of the warehouse
PearlThrill
... follows behind
hears a strange noise coming from a nearby room and stops in her tracks, raising her wand defensively Wait, did you hear that? As Luna cautiously approaches the source of the noise, a group of shadowy creatures emerge from the darkness, surrounding her and PearlThrill.
PearlThrill
holy crap!
stands tall, drawing upon her inner strength and determination Stay close to me, PearlThrill! We're not going down without a fight!
