Where the Curse Falls
Desperate, I tried to torch the amulet, but instead of it burning, I felt like I was the one on fire.
Was I somehow tied to this thing? Was death the only escape from its grip?
I looked closer at the amulet and its weird patterns. They seemed… familiar.
A memory clicked, my previous life. The Mystic had given me stuff with the same patterns before!
I snatched the amulet and bolted outside.
I ran all the way to the underpass, and there he was, the Mystic, acting like he had been expecting me, not even bothering to look up.
He murmured, "Darkness clings to you. You can't shake off that gloomy vibe. Looks like you've got an evil trinket on your hands. It's an amulet, am I right?"
