If I had a heart, it would have broken any nearby eardrums.
"Ahhhhhhh! He can see me!"
The old man smiled, but that just made him look like a pedo, what with his dirty waist wrap and grimy headdress made of bird feathers that still had some skin attached.
"kuku, quite. Now, since I''m a kind shaman, I''ll let you beg for three seconds before I stuff you into a soul stone."
''Beg... well, I guess being a beggar would be a more productive career for me... I wouldn''t mess up too much anymore...''
"Threetwoone!"
"Wait, that''s unfai-"
"Soul Bind"
I felt the vertigo that comes with falling from a high altitude, and then I felt like a sardine. I couldn''t see anything, but this stone was really cramped.
''ow... why does this stone have to be so small?''
I try to push the walls, and to my surprise, they stretch.
''...
stretchy walls. Classic.''
Pushing harder, I feel like something is pushing back, but it''s so weak I can hardly mention it.
Riiip
And I''m out again.
''...''
"..."
The old man has a really scary expression, and he''s glaring at me...
''Please don''t hurt me...''
The pedo is holding a broken purple stone, and looking really irritated. But all of a sudden, his face breaks out into a smile.
"kuku, so, it seems like a lesser soul stone isn''t enough to contain you. Unfourtunatly, I have nothing of higher quality, so~"
"So... you''re gonna let me go?"
He just smiles even wider... I have a bad feeling about this...

"Of course! I would never hurt a spirit as powerful as you! Why, I''m sure that little girl you murdered would be ecstatic to know you''re roaming free!"
''You know... I think he''s being sarcastic. Besides, I''m pretty sure it was a boy, no girl would have such an un-cute face. So why did he think it was a gi-''
Murdered? As in, killed?
''All I wanted was warmth... but I killed someone...''
"kuku, are you feeling guilt? Newly made undeads who still have a mind usually don''t like it when they find out they kill instinctively."
"I... I didn''t kill her. The orb was hiding- how else was I supposed to- I didn''t kill her!"
He just grinned slyly, and fingered the broken stone.
"kuku, well, there is still a way to save her life, you know~"
"What? How?"
''Why is he smiling? How can he be so callous?''
"kuku, all you have to do is go into her body. You''ll have to squish a bit, but I''m sure a murderer like you can deal with a bit of discomfort~"
''I don''t like this... will going into her really save her life?''
Against my better judgment, I float into the girl-who-looks like a boy, and squish myself so my entire being is inside.
"Okay, I''m in. Now how do I-"
"kuku! Now I''ve got you!"
"Soul Bind"
''hah... I deserved this."
The vertigo returns, and when I come to my senses, my body feels heavy and cold.
''Well...
shit.''
