"Hello Eric." Princess Denise says triumphantly.
I don't respond as I'm currently falling into a trance, as if I'm fighting off sleep.
"Don't worry about talking, I just want you to listen.
Throughout these entire ranked games, you'll help me achieve my rightful place as the first ranked.
You'll assume the 2nd ranked where you won't ever contest my spot and hold off the third ranked."
Her words form a chain which slowly wraps around my soul and attempts to bind it and I offer no resistance.
'I must please the Enchantress for her will is my own.'
Just as the chains fully entwine themselves and almost lock into place, a black shadowy hand catches it.
While holding the lock, a finger extends pointing at my body and sends out a mini shadow lance that connects with it, sending a wave of pain that brings me out of the trance.
"Snap out of it Eric, you need to resist her words." Chathis says.
Silently thanking him, I assess my situation.
