Eryndor woke up, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated after a good night's sleep. He yawned and stretched, thinking to himself, "What a weird dream I had last night, the monsters were so big." He got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.
As he washed his face, he looked up to see his reflection in the mirror. But what caught his attention was a small, black, 3-eyed toad levitating in the air, staring back at him. The toad looked like a spirit, and Eryndor was startled.
"Aaaah!" Eryndor exclaimed, taking a step back. "Who the hell are you?" he asked, trying to compose himself.
The toad looked at him with pleading eyes and said, "Boss, I need your help."
Eryndor was taken aback by the toad's words. "First of all, who are you and what are you doing here?" he asked, trying to understand the situation.
After a moment..
Eryndor's eyes lit up as he remembered his dream. "Oh, I know you! You're the child of that massive monster from my dream, right?" he asked.
The toad shook its head. "No, Boss. I'm not the monster's child. I'm the monster itself."
Eryndor was confused. "What's happening? What do you want? How come you're so small?" he asked, bombarding the toad with questions.
Just then, a beautiful, female voice sounded from above. "I'll explain that," she said.
Eryndor looked around, trying to locate the source of the voice. "Who's that?" he asked.
"Up here," the voice replied.
Eryndor looked up to see a small golden fairy manifesting herself in the air. She was beautiful, with delicate wings and a kind face.
"Oh...so beautiful," Eryndor exclaimed, staring at the fairy in awe.
Eryndor's eyes widened as he remembered his dream. "You're the one who was fighting the toad," he repeated.
The fairy smiled and said, "Indeed, I am the one who was fighting the toad in your dream."
The fairy nodded. "Let me clear up the confusion. I don't know exactly how long I've been sleeping in my egg, but no one had been able to wake me up. But it was either you who woke me up or probably this toad's bad smell that woke me up. Then I instinctively latched myself to the first living thing that was nearby. To my surprise, this smelly toad was already there, and we had a fight. If it hadn't been for your intervention, I would have killed him for sure."
The toad looked up at the fairy and said, "You wish."
The fairy ignored the toad's comment and continued explaining. "You see, Boss, this toad has been living inside you, and he's the reason for all the bad things that happen around you."
Eryndor's eyes widened in shock. "You're the reason for my miserable life? You rascal, leave me at once!" he ordered, his voice filled with anger.
The toad smiled awkwardly. "But Boss, you and I are the same. We were born together, and we will die together. There's no way to separate us."
Eryndor looked at the fairy for confirmation, and she nodded her head. "It's true, Eryndor. You and the toad are connected in a way that's hard to understand."
Eryndor was confused. "How is this? You and I are two different people. How can we be the same?" he asked, trying to understand the situation.
The toad shrugged. "I don't know about that, Boss. Even I was woken up by this third party who has invaded my house. Boss, I beg you, kick her out. I want my house back."
Eryndor looked at the fairy, who closed her eyes and said, "This smelly toad is the reason for your bad luck, Boss. With my power, I can protect you from his bad luck."
Eryndor looked back at the toad, who was staring at him with puppy eyes, a tear in each of his eyes. For a second, Eryndor felt sympathetic for the toad, but just for a second. Then, his anger and frustration took over, and he landed a punch on the toad, shouting, "Stop looking at me like that, you useless thing! Not only do you have no use, but you also put me in trouble everywhere, and you also live rent-free inside me!"
The toad let out a small cry as it floated backward, rubbing its cheek with a foreleg. The fairy watched the exchange with amusement.
Eryndor turned to the fairy and said, "You know, I think I'll take your offer. You can protect me from this toad's bad luck, right?"
The fairy nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. "Yes, I can do that."
"But, Boss, that has been my house for too long," the toad pleaded, its voice filled with a sense of desperation.
Eryndor's expression remained firm, his eyes fixed on the toad. "You can live or you can get out, I don't care," he said, his voice cold and detached. "She will be living inside me from now on."
The toad's face fell, its eyes welling up with tears. It thought that Eryndor had made up his mind, and it was futile to try to convince him further. The toad was also upset that its side effect of bad luck had affected Eryndor's life for so long. Now that the toad was awake, it wanted to be of some help to Eryndor.
Suddenly, an idea popped into the toad's mind. "Boss, I can now curse anyone you want," the toad said, its voice filled with a sense of excitement.
Eryndor's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with the possibilities. He started thinking of all the people he had ever wanted to harm, all the people who had wronged him in the past. A sly smile spread across his face as he thought of the perfect target.
The toad, meanwhile, was muttering to itself. "Although the curse will start small and then grow till it claims the target's life," it said, its voice barely above a whisper.
Eryndor's eyes snapped back into focus, his gaze fixed on the toad. "Alright, I have the best target to try your curse," he said, his voice dripping with malice.
The toad's eyes lit up with excitement, its face twisted into a wicked grin. "Who is it, Boss?" it asked, its voice filled with anticipation.
Eryndor's smile grew wider, his eyes glinting with evil intent. "Let's just say it's someone who has been a thorn in my side for far too long," he said, his voice dripping with venom.
The toad's grin grew wider, its eyes shining with excitement. It was eager to see who Eryndor had chosen as the target of its curse, and it was eager to unleash its dark magic upon them.
