You Drink The Yellow Potion
Press play to hear a background tune!
“Gonna have to go with yellow, buddy,” you tell the wizard. He hesitates for a moment but sends the vial your way. You open it and take a whiff of the uniquely colored brew. Hm. Smells kind of like cough syrup. You shrug and drink it anyway.
Glug, glug, glug. You finish it despite its medicinal taste. You were slightly injured in the last battle, so it seems like anything with medicine can only be beneficial.
You wait a few moments and…nothing happens. Nothing continues to happen. It appears you may have been ripped off. You look at the wizard and see a concerned look on his face. That's when you realize you're floating above your body. The wizard is standing over you, shaking his head sadly.
It appears you are now a ghost. You glance at the label in the now shattered vial by your side. “Spiritual Enlightenment Elixir,” it reads and in a tiny, monospace font just below it: “WARNING: may cause your spirit to leave your body.” Huh. You didn't notice that before. It would appear you forked over a bunch of gold for your own death. Rory, still standing over your body, shrugs and disappears into the back of the shop.
As you float above the room, you say to yourself, "Well, it did exactly as advertised. Can't blame him for that one.”
At least it wasn't a scam, right? RIGHT?
THE END
