Ethan had always been fascinated by the abandoned mansion on the outskirts of his European hometown. On the morning of his 18th birthday, he felt an inexplicable pull towards it. Heeding the call, he ventured into the mansion and discovered a hidden room filled with portraits.
Storyteller
The portraits were of a beautiful girl named Anna, aging from infancy to adulthood. The largest portrait, veiled with a fabric, intrigued him the most. Pulling back the fabric, he revealed a peaceful Anna lying in a bed of white roses, blue delphiniums, and red poppies.
Storyteller
Below the portrait was an altar with a diary, jewelry, and a note that read, 'In Loving Memory, Anna.'
Storyteller
Intrigued, Ethan picked up the diary. "Who were you, Anna?" he murmured, flipping open the worn pages.
As he read Anna's diary, he learned about her life as a noble's daughter, her love for art, and her dreams cut short by her early death. Her words painted a vivid picture, and Ethan found himself drawn into her world.
Storyteller
That night, Ethan experienced the first of many dreams about Anna's life. He saw her laughing with a mysterious man named Victor, their affection for each other evident. When he woke, Ethan was filled with a strange sense of longing and a desire to know more.

On his 18th birthday, Ethan's life took an unexpected turn. He found he could communicate with spirits, perceive the history of objects by touching them, and his intuition was heightened. He soon realized these were more than mere coincidences - they were supernatural abilities.
Storyteller
One day, while touching Anna's jewelry, he saw a vision of Victor giving it to her. "I promise you, Anna," Victor said in the vision, "I'll make your dreams come true."
Storyteller
Ethan was moved by Victor's promise and decided to fulfill it himself. As he delved deeper into the mystery of Victor's existence, he learned about Victor's curse of immortality, his deep love for Anna, and his disappearance after her death.
Storyteller
Ethan confronted Victor's spirit one day, demanding answers. "Why did you leave, Victor? Why did you break your promise?" he asked.
"I had no choice, Ethan," Victor's spirit replied. "The curse... it wouldn't let me."
Storyteller
In the end, Ethan managed to break the curse, freeing both himself and Victor from their supernatural bonds. He fulfilled Victor's promise to Anna, bringing peace to her spirit.
Storyteller
His journey not only uncovered his supernatural heritage but also forged a deep connection between him and Anna, a bond that transcended time and death. "I'll remember you, Anna," Ethan whispered to her spirit. "Always."
