When Anik opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a hard surface. His head throbbed, and his throat was dry, but he was alive. He looked around, trying to make sense of his surroundings. It was nothing at all the surrounding seemed like an empty space. Anik felt a chill run down his spine as he realized he was not alone.
Suddenly, he heard a voice. "Ah, you're awake. I wasn't sure if you were going to make it."
Anik turned his head and saw a woman sitting on a chair by the wall. She was beautiful, with long, dark hair and piercing violet eyes. But there was something unnerving about her, and Anik felt a sense of unease in her presence.
"Who are you?" he asked, his voice hoarse.
The woman smiled. "My name is Lily. And you, my dear, are in my domain."
Anik felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead. "What do you want from me?"
Lily stood up and walked towards him. "Oh, nothing much. Just your soul."
Anik tried to get up, but his body felt weak and unresponsive. "What are you talking about?"
Lily chuckled. "Don't play dumb with me, Anik. You drank the Elixir of Power."
Anik felt a wave of terror wash over him. "What do you mean? Elixir of Power?"
Lily leaned closer to him, and Anik could feel her cold breath on his face. "You drank the blood of the immortal, Anik. You consumed the elixir of Power, and now you are bound to me for all eternity."
Anik tried to make sense of her words, but his mind was foggy and confused. "I don't understand."
Lily sighed. "Let me explain. The elixir of Power is a powerful substance that grants A unique power to those who consume it. But there is a catch. The one who drinks it is bound to the power and then one who created it. And in this case, that would be me."
Anik felt a sense of dread creeping up his spine. "So, you're saying I got a curse?"
Lily nodded. "Yes, and no. You see, Anik, Power comes at a price. You can do whatever you think of, but you will also never get rid of me. You will be bound to me for all eternity, and your soul will be mine to do with as I please."
Anik felt a lump form in his throat. "What can I do?"
Lily smiled. "Nothing, my dear. You are mine now. However, you can do one thing. "
Anik felt a sense of hope. "Tell me what is it?"
Lily said with a grin on her face. " you have to do whatever I say and I will allow you to do whatever you want. how's that?"
Anik felt a shiver run down his spine at Lily's offer. It was tempting, but he knew he couldn't trust her. She was a creature of darkness, and her motives were unclear. Nevertheless, he knew he had to play along if he wanted to survive.
"Alright," Anik said. "I'll do whatever you say. But first, can you tell me why you need me?"
Lily smiled. "You see, Anik, I have a little problem. There are some people who are causing me a lot of trouble lately, and I need them taken care of."
Anik raised an eyebrow. "Who are they?"
Lily's expression turned sour. "I cannot tell you yet, you will find out as you will wake up."
Anik felt a sense of unease. "What is this power you're talking about?"
Lily leaned closer to him with a grin. " A power that even a deity fears."
Anik felt a chill throughout his spine. He had no ideas what she was talking about, but it seemed quite dangerous.
"Alright," Anik said. "I'll do it. But how will I find them?".
