I sighed.
The truth was that I already knew most of not everything.
"Go ahead."
[Allow to formally introduce myself, I am the personification of the curse you created to haunt Evelyn.]
"The imaginative unrealistic curse that makes it so she can't get friends and anyone who interacts with her faces a tragedy of sorts."
[Exactly, though in your case I never would have thought that I would have to appear to threaten you.]
"But that's just because you didn't know who I was."
If the figure was capable of expressing emotion this would have been the mont there would have been a reaction.
[Who would have known that the very creator of my host would co in contact with her and hold her in such high regard that he feels love?]
"Ironic isn't it?"
[Yes, I could have never expected such an outco.]
Gaining clues from the conversation I pieced together one of the puzzle parts.
"Your… influence over others grows based on how much they are influenced by Evelyn."
[Excellent! Even though you didn't program the figure you were still able to deduce it so fast!]
"That's why little things only happen to people who try to get closer to her while extre things happen to people who are already close."
[Now you got it! Take for instance that one ti a girl ca up to Evelyn and while they were talking a bird shit on her head, that was all .]
"Then the mont I got close enough to her, you felt that our connection was so strong that you couldn't do anything to drive away. Instead, you had to do sothing life-changing."
[The elevator incident.]
"The elevator incident."
A pause in our conversation took place but the other version of quickly moved on.
[You should ask all your questions now, the one you call your teacher is making her way back.]
Knowing that I didn't have all the ti in the world I finished with my understanding of the curse.
"The reason you had to co out yourself to try to take over my mind was that I had such strong feelings for her right?"
[That's correct.]
"And the more soone feels for her the more extre things you do?"
[Yes, yes.]
"Then that ans from the very start Evelyn was dood because no one would be willing to get close enough to her."
At this realization, the red began to laugh — although it was hallowed.
[You figured it out! There were more than a few people who could deal with getting tripped, getting soaked by a puddle near the road, getting crapped on, and other embarrassing things. However when it started getting dangerous none of them stood around long enough to continue the relationship.]
"I was the exception."
[Not only were you an exception but you were overall an irregular.]
"An irregular?"
[That's right because you didn't have to go through each level as the others did while slowly falling into insanity. Instead, you skipped directly to the end and even surpassed it.]
"Because of the feelings I have for her."
[They are unnatural, what you feel for her is sothing indescribable, calling it love is an injustice.]
"That's why you had to reveal yourself to and that in turn led to where we are today."
[That is my history.]
"I am curious about one thing though?"
[Let guess, what Nightfall did?]
"Yes, I had an assumption that she would be able to connect you to her world but I guess it really turned out to be true."
[I don't even understand it myself but she found a way to connect to the sword.]
"I see… well then that ans my end of the bargain was upheld."
[That- that's true, it's as you said I now have a place outside the bounds of this world where I can remain safe while actively getting stronger.]
"Now it's your turn to uphold your end of the deal."
For the first ti since our conversation began, the mist seed to acknowledge as the figure nodded before moving toward .
[I will grant you unrestricted access to my powers but you must also co to understand the implications surrounding them.]
"What do you an?"
The copy of took another step forward and arrived in front of while voicing:
[You will co to know in due ti. The power to manipulate minds should not be taken lightly.]
With that the red took a final step forward and vanished from my sight as a large swirl of red was absorbed into the sword.
All around still lay the mist that continued to build up and envelop the surroundings.
A fair share of the forest was covered in a fog-like substance while thousands of birds lay on the ground.
Crouching down I looked at one of the monstrous birds.
Although it looked to be dead I could see its chest slowly rising and falling.
As if in a coma-like stance the bird and the hundreds of others like it remained motionless on the ground.
"The power to manipulate minds huh?"
My wrist buzzed.
"Why don't we give it a try?"
Waving away so of the red that covered the bird I extended my hand and picked up the creature.
It was much heavier than I imagined and scarier looking now that I was up close to it.
Holding the bird in my arms I stood back up while bringing it close to my chest.
"Hey little buddy, how would you like to beco my pet?"
Running my fingers over the unconscious bird I began petting it on the head while ruffling its feathers.
"But of course, we can't have you getting lonely, so how about we invite your friends?"
Taking a quick scan of the area I engraved the scene into my mind and called up the full force of the curse.
'You said I have your full unrestricted use of power so let's give it a shot.'
Calling forth the ability given to I activated the curse's power.
"Puppeteer."
