The Soul Debt

The mansion’s grand hall was quiet, save for the soft crackle of the fire in the hearth. As I sat by the window, gazing out at the evening mist that shrouded the estate, my thoughts were consumed by the recent revelations. The trials and tribulations we had faced had made one thing abundantly clear: the dark magic we were up against was more dangerous and insidious than we had imagined. It wasn’t just a tool of power—it came with a heavy price, one that was exacting a toll on our souls.

The encounter with the Shadow Crystal had left me deeply unsettled. The raw power it wielded was undeniable, but the implications of using it were now becoming apparent. I had experienced firsthand the seductive allure of dark magic, and I knew that it could be a double-edged sword. But it wasn’t until Elijah and Asher began to explain the concept of the Soul Debt that I truly grasped the full extent of its danger.
