Misfortune
"I know the Miracle Stone is here!" A human said; wearing clothing a cave explorer would wear. "And who would have thought I'd get past the Deimos here…"
As the human looked around the Colepth Shrine, he could only imagine where the elusive 'Miracle Stone' was. He had heard about it on Aldrow, and knew he had to come here after months of planning and preparing.
"Is it in there?" The man said, walking up to a chest. Unbeknownst to him, as he walked up to it, he stepped on a switch. It began to glow red, catching the man off guard.
"Wha-what the hell?!"
"An ancient seal… here broken… The curse of death be upon those… who disturb this eternal rest…"
The man took a step back as the chest opened, revealing… some kind of girl.
"Are you my enemy?" She asked.
"W-who are you?!"
"I'm Bebedora… puppet of the Divine Ruler…"
"I don't care, girly! Where the hell is the Miracle Stone! I've come for it!"
Bebedora's smile faded.
"A thief…"
"Thief? Ha, you bet your ass! More like finding unseen treasure. So listen good…" The man started to advance towards the puppet. "You better tell me where the Miracle Stone is, or else-"
The man was cut off as he was suddenly lifted into the air. Bebedora looked at the man.
"Thieves pay the ultimate price."
She threw the man back towards the wall, the human struggling to get up.
"Argh… now… now you're going to get it!"
"Misfortune… falls upon the one guilty…"
"What are you?!"
The man was cut off when he noticed his arm. A string similar to that a puppet would have was on his arm. He screamed, realizing that more strings were coming out of his body. As the man was being drug towards Bebedora, he could see her holding a control bar like the ones puppets were held with. She begun to giggle.
"You're now my puppet…"
