Whispers with a shiver I... I'm not the girl in the mirror anymore. I've b-become something else...
Douglas
listening intently What happened to you, Raven?
steps forward, eyes filled with sorrow It was that cursed curse... it consumed me.
Douglas
what curse?
grabs Douglas's arm, leading him towards a dusty old bookshelf The curse of the damned.
Douglas
what do you mean?
opens an ancient tome, revealing dark symbols and ominous text This book holds the key to my torment.
Douglas
how did you get this?
pauses, her voice trembling I... I stumbled upon it in the ruins of an ancient castle. It was hidden away, waiting for someone to unleash its dark power.
Douglas
who cast this curse on you?
eyes widen with a surge of anger It was the Dark Sorcerer, Malakai. He sought to create the perfect creature, but he failed.
Douglas
how did he fail?
voice quivering with rage He failed because his ambition blinded him. He bound me to this cursed form, trapping my soul forever.
Douglas
is there a way to break the curse?
closes the ancient tome with determination There might be a way... an ancient ritual that can lift the curse and restore my true form.
Douglas
where can we find this ritual?
pauses, her eyes gleaming with hope There is a hidden chamber deep within the heart of the darkest forest.
Douglas
will you take me there?
nods, determination in her eyes Yes, Douglas. I will take you to the chamber. But be warned, it's a perilous journey.
Douglas
I'll follow you
gathers supplies and leads Douglas to the dark forest Follow me closely, Douglas.
Douglas
I'm right behind you
As Raven and Douglas venture deeper into the dark forest, they encounter dangerous creatures and treacherous obstacles.
Douglas
we encounter a pack of wolves Raven, what do we do now?
grabs a small vial from her bag, her voice steady We need to distract them. I have just the thing.
Douglas
what is it?
throws a small lantern filled with a special concoction onto the ground It's a mixture that will ward them off temporarily.
