Glimpse of the Spirit World (Mikey X Y/N)
Episode 3
(The glade is silent, but Y/n struggles to sleep. The faint glow of the flowers casts eerie shadows on the trees. Mikey sits nearby, leaning casually against a tree, watching the darkness with a sharp gaze.)
Princess Y/n
(sitting up)
"Do you ever sleep, or do spirits not need rest?"
Mikey
(smirking)
"Rest is for the weak. Besides, someone has to keep an eye on you, princess. You’ve got a knack for attracting trouble."
Princess Y/n
(sighing)
"Why do I feel like you’re not telling me something? You’ve been on edge since Shiori appeared."
Mikey
(looking away)
"The forest isn’t safe tonight. The Shade stirs when new blood enters its domain."
(Y/n shivers at his words, but her curiosity outweighs her fear.)
Princess Y/n
"What is the Shade, really? You’ve mentioned it, but I need to know what I’m up against."
Mikey
(his tone darkens)
"The Shade is a remnant of the forest’s curse. A creature of pure hatred and hunger. It’s not just a spirit—it’s the forest’s wrath. And now, it knows you’re here."
(A sudden, distant growl echoes through the woods. Mikey springs to his feet, his glowing eyes scanning the shadows.)
Mikey
"Stay close. It’s coming."
(The forest darkens unnaturally, the glade’s light dimming as a cold wind blows. Y/n clutches her cloak, heart pounding as a figure emerges from the shadows—a tall, amorphous entity with red, glowing eyes and claws dripping with shadowy mist.)
The shade
(a guttural voice)
"The girl… does not belong. Leave her to me, spirit."
Mikey
(stepping in front of Y/n)
"She’s under my protection. If you want her, you’ll have to go through me."
(The Shade lunges, its claws slicing through the air. Mikey dodges effortlessly, summoning a glowing blade from thin air. The two clash, sparks flying.)
Princess Y/n
(stunned)
"What… what can I do?!"
Mikey
(gritting his teeth)
"Stay back! This isn’t your fight!"
(Despite his warning, the Shade turns its attention to Y/n, sensing her fear. Shadows rise from the ground, snaking toward her. Y/n scrambles backward, but she’s quickly surrounded.)
Princess Y/n
(panicked)
"Mikey!"
(Mikey glances back, his expression conflicted. He throws his blade, piercing the Shade’s form, but the creature doesn’t falter.)
Mikey
"Use the flowers! Their light repels it!"
(Y/n grabs a glowing flower and thrusts it toward the shadowy tendrils. They hiss and recoil, giving her a chance to escape the circle.)
(Mikey lunges at the Shade, forcing it back with a burst of energy. The creature snarls but retreats into the darkness, its red eyes lingering on Y/n before disappearing.)
Mikey
(breathing heavily)
"That was too close."
Princess Y/n
(shaken)
"Why did it go after me? I didn’t do anything to it."
Mikey
(grimly)
"You’re human. That’s enough for it to hate you. But there’s more to this—why would it attack so soon?"
(He looks at her, suspicion flickering in his eyes, but he doesn’t voice his thoughts.)
(The next morning, Shiori appears at the edge of the glade, her expression serious. She approaches Y/n as Mikey watches from a distance.)
Shiori
"The Shade won’t stop, Y/n. You’ve stepped into a world you don’t understand, and it won’t let you leave so easily."
Princess Y/n
"Then tell me how to fight it. I can’t just run forever."
Shiori
(hesitates, glancing at Mikey)
"Fighting it is nearly impossible. The only way to survive is to uncover the truth about why it’s after you."
Mikey
(interrupting)
"That’s enough, Shiori. You’ve done your part—leave the rest to me."
Shiori
(narrowing her eyes)
"Protect her all you want, Mikey. But you know the forest doesn’t choose lightly. She’ll have to face the truth sooner or later."
(Shiori vanishes into the woods, leaving Y/n with more questions than answers.)
(As the sun sets, Y/n sits by the glade’s edge, lost in thought. Mikey approaches, sitting beside her.)
Princess Y/n
"You knew, didn’t you? That the forest would target me. Why didn’t you tell me?"
Mikey
(after a pause)
"Because I thought I could protect you. But the forest… it’s more dangerous than I expected. You’re braver than I gave you credit for, princess."
(He glances at her, a rare flicker of softness in his expression.)
Princess Y/n
"Don’t call me princess. I’m not some helpless damsel waiting to be saved."
Mikey
(grinning)
"Fair enough… Y/n."
