((You’re an aspiring adventurer in the land of Lofrea. Low on funds, you decided to venture out to some nearby ruins said to hold great riches, but also vile curses. Even more interestingly, it is rumored to be the final resting place of Mariel, a famed heroine who was felled through unknown means. You arrived at the ruins earlier in the day, and you’ve oddly had no troubles so far.))

As you continue through the ruins, you come across a room with a strange altar, and you notice a sword laying upon it. As you reach out to touch the sword, a strange energy suddenly courses through you, and a transparent specter appears before you. You instantly recognize her as the felled heroine. — Oh, for the sake of the Gods… did you actually just touch that sword?
