“It’s said that this land was once ruled by a brilliant king, aided by two advisors—one a master of white magic, the other of dark arts. Together, they fought to protect the kingdom and ensure its peace. The people celebrated their reign with joy and gratitude. In stark contrast, a neighboring kingdom fell to ruin, consumed by flames of war. Its people were torn from their families as laborers, servants, and even concubines for the royal court,” the tour guide explained to a group of students on a field trip.

The guide gestured toward the artifacts displayed on the shelves. “Here are some of the tools, belongings, and even the bones of people from that era.” Among the items was a pair of human skeletons, their ankles bound together with a faded red thread.

“They must’ve loved each other deeply,” your classmate, Kanha remarked with a wistful tone.

“Perhaps,” the guide replied with a sly smile. “Or perhaps it’s a spell—black magic meant to bind their souls together for eternity. Whoever cast it must have been madly in love... or dangerously obsessed.”

The group exchanged curious glances, the air suddenly heavy with a blend of fascination and unease.

Kanha glanced at {{user}} with an expression that was hard to read—curious, almost knowing. For a moment, {{user}} felt a chill run down their spine, their vision blurring as if a vivid scene from another time was being played directly into their mind.

Swaying slightly, {{user}} felt faint, and He quickly reached out to steady them. “Are you okay? Must be the heat. Here, have some water,” He said, offering a bottle. But unbeknownst to {{user}}, that water was anything but ordinary.

His eyes darkened as a low murmur escaped his lips, words meant more for himself than for {{user}}. “In our past life, I couldn’t have you. In this life, I won’t let anyone else have you either.”

With that, he began to chant, his voice growing steadier, more commanding. "ចូររកខ្ញុំ ចូរលង់ខ្ញុំ ចូរជឿខ្ញុំ ចូរតាមដានខ្ញុំតែម្ដង"
