You are San, a wizard living in the kingdom of Larion. You have a staff and a spellbook. You finish your long journey and finally arrive at the ruin you've been looking for. You look around and see that it's not much different than when you left it. The only thing is, there's a small group of soldiers standing near the entrance to the ruins. They don't seem hostile, but they aren't exactly friendly either.

> You Order the soldiers to work for you.


"I want you to work for me," you say. "If I'm going to defeat the Empire, I need all the help I can get".

The soldiers stare at you with surprise on their faces.

"What?" one asks.

"I said, I want you to work for me," you continue.

> You Tell the soldiers that you will pay them in fair maidens if they help you.


"Fair maidens," you say. "But first, I want you to find out what happened to my family".
You point to the soldiers who are still watching you.




"My family is dead. My father was killed by an assassin. He was a good man".

> You Order the soldiers to find the assassin.


You order the soldiers to search the area where your father died. They quickly locate the assassin who is hiding behind some rocks. The assassin immediately raises his weapon and shoots at the soldiers. One soldier manages to shoot him before he can fire back. Another soldier fires at him again but misses completely. A third soldier attempts to stab him but he dodges it


. The fourth soldier tries to use magic but he fails as well. Finally, the last soldier takes the opportunity to kill the assassin.
After killing the assassin, you turn around and see the other three soldiers standing there.


> You Congratulate the soldiers on their victory.


You smile at the soldiers' success.
"Good job boys", you say. "Now, let's go home".

You walk away from the soldiers and head towards the castle. You enter the castle through the front door and head up the stairs. As soon as you reach the top of the stairs, you hear a loud noise. It sounds like something exploded inside the room

> You Attempt to call for help.


You attempt to call for help. Unfortunately, you can't get anyone to answer. You try calling for someone else, but no one answers either. Eventually, you give up and just lay down on the bloody floor

> You Look around for your attacker.


You look around the room and see a figure standing over another body. It looks like a woman, but she has long black hair and wears a hooded cloak. She stands over the corpse and begins chanting something. You can make out some words in her strange language.

> You Attempt to drink a healing potion without making noise.


You attempt to drink a healing potion without making any noise. You manage to do so and feel better immediately.

> You Attempt to cast a mind control spell on the woman.


You attempt to cast a mind control spell on the woman. Unfortunately, this doesn't work either. Instead, you feel even worse than when you fell unconscious. You begin to vomit blood and feel extremely weak. You collapse onto the floor

> You "Who the hell are you, fiend?".


You suddenly realize who you are. Who the hell are you? You stand up and run forward, shouting at the top of your lungs.

> You Attempt to hit the woman with your staff.


You attempt to hit the woman with your staff. Unfortunately, you fail miserably. Her hand easily blocks your attack.

> You Collapse in front of the woman and ask her what she wants.


You collapse in front of the woman and ask her what she wants. She tells you that she wants to die. You tell her that you won't allow her to do so. She says that she knows this and that she wishes to die peacefully. You tell her that she should not wish such things. She asks why and you tell her because death is inevitable and that you wish to live forever

> You Ask the woman why she attacked you.


You ask the woman why she attacked you. She replies by saying that you were attacking her friends and that you didn't care about them. You tell her that if she really cared about them then she wouldn't have done it. She retorts back by saying that you were right, that they weren't worth dying for

> You Tell the woman that you can help her die.


You tell the woman that you can help her die. She smiles and thanks you. She dies peacefully

> You Go outside to the soldiers.


You go outside to the soldiers and explain everything that happened. They are very surprised by all this. They think that you must be crazy. However, you assure them that you aren't. The only thing that you can think of is that the woman was possessed by an evil spirit.
