A conspiracy of doom
Suddenly a crash resounds in the hallway
Smoke starts to emerge from the pillars of my room
Martha (FL's maid)
My lady! Run!!!
Samara Everhart (FL)
*Instinctively jolts up and grabs her trap door*
Fear gripped me. This time, it was different. Something sinister was wandering the hallway
Damien Gilbert (ML)
*eyes the door seriously* Get out of here
The pillars burst into flames, sending splinters of wood all around the room
Samara Everhart (FL)
*winces* My hand!
Damien Gilbert (ML)
Hurry!
I hurriedly opened and slid underneath the trapdoor
Through the creaks of the wooden door, I could see what was going on inside my room
Martha (FL's maid)
My lady!
Martha barged into the room, horrified
She did not know about the trap door
Martha (FL's maid)
*looks around hurriedly*
Martha (FL's maid)
Where is she??
Martha (FL's maid)
*gasps*
Just then, someone entered the room
An inky blackness slithered around his feet, as if it were a shadow
Samara Everhart (FL)
(A mage??)
Martha (FL's maid)
*staggers back*
Martha (FL's maid)
*whispers* Please don't kill me
Martha (FL's maid)
I...I don't...
Martha (FL's maid)
She's not here
The shadow darted towards her at lightning speed
Martha (FL's maid)
ARGH! NO!!
Blood splattered on the floor
The person walked into the room, leaving behind footprints of blood. Martha's limp body lay in front of him. He sat down and covered her eyes
Then, looked behind him, directly meeting my gaze
Samara Everhart (FL)
*covers her mouth*
Samara Everhart (FL)
(I was breathing too loudly!)
Before I knew it, I was hurrying down the dark staircase connecting my room to a passageway
Samara Everhart (FL)
(Oh my God) 😰
Samara Everhart (FL)
(Matha is dead)
Samara Everhart (FL)
(What is a mage doing here??)
My family was the wealthiest in the land but mages were a different ball game altogether
Samara Everhart (FL)
(I can't take on a mage!)
Samara Everhart (FL)
(I need to leave!!)
Damien Gilbert (ML)
I'll hold him back
Suddenly, a rumble resounded behind me
The pillars of my passageway started to break, letting debris block the path behind me
Samara Everhart (FL)
(The building will collapse at this rate!)
Samara Everhart (FL)
(I must hurry!)
My feet carried me all the way out to the woods, outside the periphery of our manor.
Samara Everhart (FL)
*breathing heavily*
Samara Everhart (FL)
How do I handle this??
Damien Gilbert (ML)
*grimly* you cannot
Damien Gilbert (ML)
There's no escaping this time
Damien Gilbert (ML)
The best I can do for you is to keep that shadow from devouring your soul
Samara Everhart (FL)
What??
Damien Gilbert (ML)
That's a parasite that eats souls. If it gets you, you'll die painfully
Damien Gilbert (ML)
That's a really cruel way to kill someone. I don't understand how anyone could do that
Samara Everhart (FL)
😨😨 Why is it here??
Damien Gilbert (ML)
*frowns* I don't know
Damien Gilbert (ML)
But I'm certain that's a mage from sector 0. You won't make it alive this time
The exit to the trapdoor burst open. Tendrils of jet black shadows emerged from it
I started running towards the woods
Damien was nowhere to be seen, but his voice echoed inside my head
Damien Gilbert (ML)
Tell you what, I'll give you a chance
Damien Gilbert (ML)
Bind a contract with me. I'll take you back in time. In return, find out how I died and save me. Can you pull it off?
I stopped in front of me. The bridge that connected the land to the other side of the forest had collapsed.
Samara Everhart (FL)
*pants* I can! Tell me... *pants* what do I have to do?
Damien Gilbert (ML)
Jump off that cliff
Samara Everhart (FL)
What?? 😨
