"Ethan, you must sacrifice your future, giving up any chance of happiness, success, or fulfillment."
Lian St. clain
"That's the first sacrifice."
Ethan Lee
"Can't I just ask what I wished for as a kid?"
"Please let me know."
Lily Allen
"We're here because we were sent to complete our task."
Lily Says
Lian St. clain
"And that task is to ensure the sacrifice is made."
Mr. Lian adds, his eyes gleaming with an otherworldly intensity.
Ethan's eyes widen in terror as he takes a step back, his mind reeling with the implications of what Mr. Lian and Lily are asking him to do.
Ethan Lee
"N-no... I won't do it,"
Ethan stammers, his voice shaking with fear.
"I won't sacrifice my future. I won't give up who I am."
Lily Allen
Lily's smile never wavers, but her eyes seem to flash with a malevolent intensity.
"You don't have a choice, Ethan."
Lily Allen
"Don't be afraid, Ethan,"
she whispers.
"We'll be with you every step of the way. And soon, you'll see that this is what you were meant for."
Ethan Lee
"I… I… Can't…"
Ethan's eyes begin to well up with tears as he feels the weight of his situation crushing down on him. He's scared, he's confused, and he feels like he's running out of options.
Lian St. clain
Mr. Lian's smile grows wider, his eyes glinting with a knowing light.
"Do you remember, Ethan? You remember what you asked for, all those years ago?"
Ethan Lee
"What did I ask for?" Ethan whispers, his voice barely audible.
Lian St. clain
Mr. Lian leans in, his voice taking on a conspiratorial tone.
"You'll find out, Ethan. If you complete the sacrifices, I'll reveal the truth. But if you refuse... the secret will remain buried forever."
Ethan's head jerks back as Lily's hand closes around his hair, her grip like a vice. He feels a searing pain as she yanks him forward, his eyes watering from the sudden shock.
Lily Allen
"don't make me kil| you early.. So behave.."
Ethan Lee
"Ah!"
Ethan cries out, his hands flying up to try and pry Lily's fingers loose.
"Lily, stop! Please?"
Lily Allen
"We don't have time for this,"
she spits, her voice venomous.
"We have to complete the sacrifices, now. Every minute we waste puts everything at risk."
Ethan Lee
Ethan's eyes lock onto Mr. Lian's.
"I'll do it,"
he says, his voice firm.
"I'll complete the sacrifices. But you have to promise me one thing,
you'll reveal what I wished for as a kid. You'll tell me the truth."
Lian St. clain
Mr. Lian's smile grows wider, his eyes glinting with amusement.
"Very well, Ethan,"
he says, his voice dripping with satisfaction.
"I promise you, if you complete the sacrifices, I will reveal the truth about your childhood wish. But remember, Ethan, once you start down this path, there's no turning back."
Lily's grip on Ethan's hair relaxes, and she steps back, her eyes still blazing with an unnatural intensity.
Lily Allen
"Let's get started, then," she says, her voice cold and detached.
Ethan feels a shiver run down his spine as he realizes what he's just agreed to. But he's determined to see it through, no matter what the cost. He wants to know the truth about his childhood wish, and he's willing to risk everything to find out.
