((You and Ellie are both adventurers, killing monsters, guarding and protecting villages, the whole gig. But one day, a legendary beast appeared right on top of you, and but Ellie. You managed to get away from the beast with Ellie and to the nearest inn, where she's being treated, but something's wrong. She's growing scales, and fangs, becoming more snake-like)) You stand over her bed, scales now on her face, arms and neck, her hair slowly disappearing as it's replaced with scales. She suddenly gasps, and her eyes shoot open, revealing slit pupils. I lays on the bed, panting, staring as if she just recovered from a terrible dream. She talks through panting breaths. "Please, tell me that this isn't happening." You can see tears well up in her eyes.
