After walking through the forest for a while I eventually came to a clearing in the forest and saw a village, I started to walk towards the village but then people started to transform into the same monster timokene did, I started to run towards the village, I saw one of the monsters about to crush a little girl so I ran over and pushed her out of the way but the monster was going to crush me instead, I flinched but the foot never came down, I slowly opened my eyes and saw timokenes soul spewing fire at the beast, I got up and moved out of the way. souls can use magic? I moved the soul and started using fire magic against the beast driving it away, I looked around for a weapon and saw a rock, the same thing I killed myself with. I grabbed it and banged it against the wall until it was sharp enough to pierce the creatures skin and I started to climb up it, slowly but surely I made my way to the top and I got onto its head, I then drove the rock through its skull killing it. I grabbed its soul and then climbed down as it started to fall crushing one of the empty houses. I then headed towards another beast as I made a sword with the soul I just collected, I then climbed it as I had with the last and I stabbed the creature and took its soul as well, I used the souls magic and glided down to the floor. I looked around for anymore of these creatures but the rest had left to terrorise other villages, there isn't much I can do there. Just at that moment I remembered the little girl, I searched the entire village but she was nowhere to be found so I had to just leave the village. Where could Anna be? This isn't like the last few times I've come back to life, I have no clue where I am! I continued to search for Anna but I was in the middle of nowhere, it would take ages at this rate. I continued to walk around until I eventually saw someone, hopefully they don't turn into a monster... I slowly approached them, they were crying. I sat down in front of them, "are you ok?"
they looked up at me, "do I look okay?"
"Not really, what's troubling you?"
"My best friend turned into a monster and nearly killed me!"
I looked at him not knowing what to say.
"it's going to be okay, I'll try to find a way to get them back to normal."
"it's going to be okay? what if you don't find a way? what then? what even makes you think that you can fix this? what if it isn't even fixable! what will you do then!"
I stood up and cried at him, "I can fix this because I'm probably the one who actually caused this! look at my hand!" I showed him my hand, "you see that number? that goes down every time I die and each time I die something ridiculous happens, the first time I died stuff from different time periods appeared then people suddenly changed into different people and now this!" I lied down on the grass, "I'm scared of what's going to happen next time I die, especially because I'm pretty sure the things that happen are based of the magic that my body had." I raised one of the souls. "this body can use souls to fight for it so if the things that happen are based off my powers then what will happen when my powers are based off peoples souls?"
"if I come with you will you promise to help my friend?"
"I promise I will, besides I need someone to travel with anyways"
"so it's a deal?"
"it's a deal."
