"The Side Characters Rebirth"
*gift or curse*
*the world around jaylen cracked like shattered glass. He blinked, disoriented, as the walls of the mansion flickered, ripping like mirage. His hands trembled as he grasped the air, trying to steady himself, unsure of what was happening.*
jaylen
*(frantically)* "what's happening? I....I didn't mean to--"
*suddenly, a rush of energy surged through his body. His vision blurred, and a voice--deep and cold echoed in his mind.*
unknown
"you have chosen to challenge fate, jaylen. Are you prepared to bear the weight of this decision?"
* jaylen's heart raced as he felt the power awaken inside him, a force he didn't understand but couldn't ignore.*
jaylen
"I didn't expect this .... I thought I could help. but what if I can't control it?"
*the mansion around him began to shift, the furniture warping, the chandelier flickering in and out of existence. He was no longer sure if he was in the mansion, or if it was just an illusion*
jaylen
" I should go out for a walk....... Yeah, only nature can calm my heart now."
*in the garden after seeing Jayden, Luka stepped forward, his usual calm demeanor replaced by something darker, something burdened by secret.*
Luka
*(softly)* "jaylen, this power... It's dangerous. You have to be careful. It's not just a gift. it's a curse."
jaylen
"what do you mean? You said I could change everything---"
Luka
"you can, but every change you make, every step you take towards braking the cycle, will cost you the more you rewrite, the more you lose yourself in the process.*
Luka
*the power is..... Corrupted.
The more you use it, the more you risk becoming part of the curse you wish to break.*
*jaylen felt the weight of Luka's word settle into his chest. He had always dreamed of having control, but now it seemed like a dangerous path he had chosen*
jaylen
"but how do I stop it from consuming me? I don't want lose myself."
