You wake up in the early morning. My name is (text-colour:(hsl:288,0.5628,0.5157,0.8))[Clare], despite being a guy. That's because my full name is (text-colour:(hsl:288,0.5628,0.5157,0.8))[Clarence]. Keep that in mind
My hair is a mess. Must've forgotten to wash it again for the third night in a row.
Damn me.
I get up from the bed and look around my bedroom

The room is lavish, as in line with my style.
Deep purple velvet curtains, vintage carpets, hanging suncatchers all over my room which disperse coloured light. There is a black couch with purple cushions, my bed has black bedsheets on it. There's a pinboard on the wall, with many orange tinted notes attached.
There is a mirror on my wall. It looks new.
Huh.
Do I have time to check what that's about? I need to get ready for work.

I leave the house, making sure that I remembered to take my coat with me.
I run towards Main Street, right by the (text-style:"italic","underline")[Gate Of Bosathraj], where my shop is.
I see it.
I fish my keys out of my pocket and open the doors, the bell above the door ringing. I flip over the sign, from (text-style:"bold","italic","expand") [Closed] to (text-style:"bold","italic","expand")[Open]
I head inside, hanging up my coat.
The shelves are lined with bottles of all shapes and sizes. All are filled with coloured and softly glowing liquid. Potions, of course. I make them myself and I sell them.
Speaking of, need to restock.
By that I mean, I need to make more of the missing inventory.
So I look around for my equipment.

I set up. Beakers, lighters, mystic elements. All sorts of things.
Though not surprisingly, the main way of making these liquids magickal and effective is by using my Soul. Everyone has a Soul but barely anyone is capable of using their Soul without learning or at least without tedious amounts of effort.Thus making my career profitable enough. Because there aren't many that can do this in the first place.

Soul is essentially the very essence of a being.
Everything has one, whether or not it's alive.
A Soul is essentially everything where we live. It may be a means of attacking someone or a means of defending yourself. It can be cast like a spell or used as a shield. Overall, it is an extension of yourself that can be made physical.
Don't get me wrong, your Soul is dreadfully vulnerable. But you're able to train it in order to maximise it's capabilities. Like going to the gym.
Souls have many other important factors to one's life. Without a soul, we are left to be blind and with no senses at all. Those people that lost their Soul in a fight look greyscale to the rest of us. Quite a terrifying image, to be frank. Zombified husks of what they used to be. They are still alive but they can't feel what they touch, they can't see, eat or smell.
A cruel fate, to be left without a Soul.
However, let's get back to the subject at hand. Potions.
Using Soul, is the way in which I make my poitions. Of course, the ingredients like herbs and minerals do indeed get across a purpose. But they aren't effective. A potion made without Soul isn't worth shit here. Especially not to the travellers or adventurers that need them most of the time.
It enhances their senses while also providing useful benefits.

It's Archie. He came stumbling in, out of breath as if he'd been running to get here.
Archie is a dumb knight with dumb red hair and maybe a total of three thoughts in that head of his.
He may be good looking, but he absolutely has no charisma. He is the kind to fall while going up the stairs, or to trip over his feet while walking.
So an orange cat, except personnified.
I tend to always say, If looks were charm, he'd be the most charming man I know. But that's not how it works, so unfortunately he's quite far from it.
Regardless, he is a friend of mine, despite the way he is.
I greet him with a nod before speaking.

The order in which to make a potion of general luck and health is by:
1, Adding powered gold.
2, Adding dried tulip.
3, Crushing the two previous ingredients.
4, Adding two droplets of orange juice.
5, Adding mint leaves.
6, Adding water.
7, Mixing.
8, Cast (text-style:"bold","italic")[Enchant], using Soul.

The rest of the shift passes by as usual. Somewhat of a slow day, despite how unusual that is.
Wednesdays are usually packed. I'm not complaining though. I earned enough today, fullfilling my quota as usual. (text-colour:(hsl:27,0.9831,0.5353,0.95))[Archie] showed up today too.
He grabbed an armful of various health potions before paying and rushing out.
He is a clumsy and very accident-prone knight. Or, well, trying to be one. He is currently a squire, looking for someone willing to put up with him long enough to let him finish his apprenticeship.
Me seeing him is quite routine by now, so I pay no mind and keep working.

Oh. Fuck, forgot to lock the house before I left this morning. Whatever.
I find myself thinking about what I'll make for lunch before heading back to work.
My shop is open eight hours a day, all week. Four hours in the morning, a two hour break for lunch then another four hours.
It's convenient to bI ce my own boss. The business is my own, and I've got quite the monopoly. There aren't many that provide this service, so I like working on my own terms. I still remember opening the shop, saving up every silver piece for it.
Now, I have more than enough to live comfortably.
I am content with the way that my life has unfolded, a neverchanging routine.

Now, I'm home.
This really is a perfect life I've built for myself. And I really am happy with the way things are.
Nothing is out of the ordinary, and everything fits perfectly in line with my expectations.
And I'd do anything to keep this routine from ever changing.
Wait, no more sentimental rambles. Time for lunch.
What should I make?

I just sit back in the Chair, absolutely content to just think about things.
I think about a lot of things. Like the current politics surrounding the king, the possibility of him being executed by the revolutionairies.
Then I also think about the forest, just beyond the kingdom walls.
Think about if it's possible to restore the Souls of everyone who lost them, and allow them to regain sentience again. Ending their bland and empty existence that it has become.
I also find my mind briefly wandering to some of the customers today. Just the thought irritates me.
Then, quickly enough, my mind moves on. Just like it always does.
And just like that, it's time for me to leave again for my evening shift.

I head back upstairs towards my room. I had the intention of approaching the mirror but was frozen in my steps, as I saw a deep purple glow eminating from it.
<img src= "file:///C:/Users/Windows/Downloads/New%20Piskel%20(4)%20(4)%20(1)%20(3)%20(1).gif" alt= />
What?
Slowly I walk towards it, and try to locate the source of the glow. It's as if it's enchanted. In fact, the glow looks like what It'd look if you shone a light through a window.
Which makes no sense.
I lose my focus.

I head out of the house. (if:(history: where its name contains "keys 1")'s length >= 1)[I remember to lock it this time.]
I head towards my shop again, and unlock it. I head inside, the bell above my head ringing again. The sound only pisses me off by now.
I ignore it nonetheless and head back to my workshop. And a few minutes later, my idiotic goons come rushing in. I still question as to why I hired them. (text-colour:#ffec99)[Micham], is my apprentice. They definitely do have a lot of promise and potential, however take little to no initiative.
(text-colour:#faa2c1)[Ceidil] is only here to earn extra gold. Which is understandable, we all need money. I'm pretty sure that she wants to be an adventurer and is trying to get her name to be known. Not that it's going well.
Either way, I get my apprentice to make more potions for the ones that have been sold since the restock this morning. My other goon sits and reads her book, and pretends that she doesn't whenever I look over.
I consider docking her pay but eventually just tell her to get the broom and sweep the shop.

When I open my eyes, the light of the mirror is gone. And the room is dark.
It looks like it's suddenly night. And yet, my hair is braided as I used to do it when I had more time. My room is suddenly cleaned.
Did I black out?
What time is it?
Is it still the same day?
I shake my head to myself, trying to gather myself.
I sigh, and decide to cover up the mirror with a spare blanket.
Better leave it alone for now. Fuck knows what this will lead to.
And I can't take anymore risks of just blacking out.

Fuck.
I should find out what the mirror does to people, while also not looking at it at all?

The walk home was rather boring, a little tedious in full honesty. It never was much fun to walk home at night. I can defend myself. That's not one of my concerns.
In fact, I am one of the most capable people around. I am always in guaranteed safety, as everyone knows that I can do just about anything I feel like. My Soul level is... a little higher than that of most people. The amount doesn't matter. What matters is that I can cast the same spell as most people and it may end up killing someone.
So it's not the idea of danger that makes walking home unappealing. Because virtually there is none.
The walk always seems a little disheartening. And I'm not sure why.
I approach my door and freeze in my footsteps.

Without even considering eating dinner, I just head to my room and approach the pinboard. I attach the note without a second thought, and spend a second just reading all of his previous notes.

He asked me to meet up? When?
How long ago was this? Why don't I remember that?
Fuck.
There is no sensible reason for why I am infuriated by the fact that I managed to pick up the note and pin it to my pinboard without reading it.
I'm going to talk to him about it, the next time I see him.
Maybe apologize by inviting him for a cup of tea.

I could immediately tell when I regained conciousness, that I was dreaming.
I was in a blank area that had neither shadows nor light. And yet, I could see everything perfectly even if there was nothing to see.
I felt myself being called to go forward, so I did. And I don't know how long I've been walking either, until suddenly a harsh red light surrounded me.
I didn't notice when, as there was no area where it was kind of dark yet kind of lit up. There just wasn't light until there was.

I walk downstairs to my office, where my workdesk is. A home alchemy-lab, various books of spells, books that talk about the importance of Soul, books that explain how it works, how to use it, books that teach how to cast, how to make potions. Books for the things that I consider to be important knowledge. Then there are documentary books on cursed objects enchanted and so on. Though those are more for if I'm bored.
Entertainment.
I doubt thats what I'm looking for though.
So unfortunately, not to my surprise, there isn't a single book on shiny purple mirrors.
I might need to get one. Or on what spells might do that, because I don't know a single spell that makes an object glow purple then makes you black out.
But for now, I should read the books on famous cursed objects. Just to see if I find something similar.

Some people would consider them to be fantasy, but as we literally live in a world of magic, I wouldn't be surprised if (text-style:"underline")[one of these books had a clue.] Not the answer but maybe a clue.

I also have more documentary based books on famous instances.
Like think 'hidden in a museum, stored behind enchanted glass because this object is dangerous' kind of cursed. There are also some helpful books on long lost magic, potent spells, etc.

The first book in this series.
Basically about the importance of a magical stone with very potent alchemical possibilities. I am still determined to figure out if there's an actual real equivalent. Nothing useful in this book though.

We stand in silence for a few awkward moments before I groan. I can't even look at him with the whole thing where he looked like someone kicked his fucking puppy.
And I'm weak, and can't handle him looking so concerned and heartbroken.

(text-style:"bold")[CRACK.]
I look down at the floor, which cracked like ice.
This was unusual. I have been in the subconcious areas of my mind before but it never acted like this.
I looked up for just a moment, to see a hunched over silhouette.
There was blood dripping, looking like a harsh black under the light.
They must be injured. I walk over quietly, slowly reaching a hand out to lay it on their shoulder.
Their entire body shook, as they let out the most pained scream I ever heard.
Then I know who it was, I've heard that scream before.
But it was too late.

I wake up, shaking as I sat up in bed. My hand clutched my shirt right where my heart should be.
I bring out my Soul. Just to see it.
Unless one shapes their Soul to their will, It mainly looks kind of like a blob. But still somehow manages to look and convey exactly who it belongs to.
My Soul is a deep royal purple, and has a dull little glow. It almost looks like it always used to, except for the few droplets of the tar like substance that drip down it's surface.
Reminding me of my sin.
Reminding me of (text-colour:#3678a4)[him]

I find myself slowly waking up to a golden glow of a morning.
I turn onto my side, and open my eyes. And the first thing I see is Clare.
He is still sleeping, and he looks beautiful. It makes my heart skip a beat.
I lean in to softly kiss him, then watch his eyes slowly open.
His eyes are his beautiful brown, his hair is a mess for now. I know he will braid it soon enough though. He hates when it's anything less than perfect. I lean in to kiss him again when he groans, and suddenly flings a pillow at my face.

Clarence groans again, trying to fling another pillow at me. I end up catching it this time with a smile and just sigh, sitting up. I want to make him breakfast for him to eat in bed again. If I don't spoil my boyfriend, then what's the point?
I get out of bed, and get dressed into a houserobe before heading out of our bedroom to enter the hallway. Then proceed down the stairs, past our carved initials on the doorframe leading to the kitchen.

I quickly use Soul to make him soup.
It's his favourite. He never quite understood how I am able to so easily use Soul to do things. That's fine though, as it's not too important. I get to spoil him.
I finish making his favourite soul, french onion.
Then I carry it upstairs with a smile and back into the bedroom where I see Clare trying to fall back asleep.
I can't help but to smile at the sight and sit down next to him.

Then cleaning up the glass from the floor. Not once did he complain.
"Dear, please. You need to tell me what's happening. Why does this always happen?"
I don't tell him.

I can't stop screaming. I don't feel my own body, I can't control it.
But I haven't stopped screaming for four hours now, and everything hurts.
Clare slaps me. He has never done that before. It's what brings me back, enough to just a chest-rattling sob.
I end up wrapping my arms around him, wanting to feel the pressure of his body against mine. Any feeling at all.
He hugs me.
He knows.
I told him.
I told him the entire story, from what I knew it to be. Something happened to my Soul. And no matter what happened to me, I couldn't die.
I don't die, no matter how much pain I'm in. No matter what I do to myself, I don't die. And sometimes I don't feel myself. I don't feel like I'm alive anymore, and I'm just there and just being, like my body is on autopilot.
There is something wrong with my Soul. It has always been like this, but now its level is too high. My body can handle it but my mind can't
I told him that I wanted to die.
I wanted it all to be over.
So he did me this mercy. He studied, he learnt, he made a spell.
He laid my head in his lap and he played with my hair while chanting under his breath.
I felt the teardrops hit my skin, but pretended I didn't notice, despite the stinging pain of the salt againt my raw skin. He wanted to feel strong and dependable.
And he was.
And there is no other way I'd rather go than like this.
