Guri's Old Mansion ✅

9.

After mustering the courage to enter the old mansion, Midori was met with a sight that sent shivers down her spine. The grandeur she had imagined was overshadowed by the crumbling decay that now surrounded her. The broken fragments of what once was a place of reverence now lay scattered, a stark contrast to the majesty she had envisioned.

Her gaze was drawn inexorably to a particular spot, the same place she had seen in her haunting dream. The remnants of black magic lingered in the form of scattered ashes, a grim reminder of the darkness that once haunted these halls. Among the scattered remnants, a faint circle of ashes caught her eye, its presence sending a chill down her spine as memories of her unsettling dream flooded back.

As Midori and her companions ventured further , they caught sight of a staircase leading upwards, curiosity driving them to explore the unknown. But their daring was met with a sudden interruption as a figure emerged from the upper floors, brandishing a stick in a menacing manner.

Panic seized the group, prompting a hasty retreat down the stairs, the fear palpable in their hurried footsteps. Yet amidst the chaos, Midori found herself rooted to the spot, a sense of foreboding washing over her as her gaze met that of the mysterious figure before her - an old man, his eyes filled with a mixture of warning and resignation.

"You came again here?" His voice held a weight of solemnity, a hint of sorrow lingering in his words. "Get lost, go back, or else you'll be destroyed. Leave now, quickly. If he sees you, then you'll be destroyed along with many innocent lives. Go back." With a final, dire warning, the old man turned went to towards the top floor.

Midori was left standing in the dimly lit hall, her thoughts racing as she tried to make sense of the cryptic message delivered by the mysterious guardian.
