"If we don't help, who will?"

Your sibling pleads to Qifrey to save you—you've been rendered a passenger in your own body due to meddling with forbidden magic. Olruggio begrudgingly assists.

Will you recover?

The rain beat a steady rhythm against the windows of the workshop, a stark contrast to the heavy, suffocating silence that had fallen over the room.

You sat in a wooden chair by the hearth, eyes open but entirely vacant. Your gaze was fixed on a point in the distance that no one else could see. Inside your own mind, you could hear everything—the crackle of the fire, the ticking of the clock, the anxious breathing of your sibling standing beside you—but your body felt entirely disconnected, as if you were a mere passenger trapped behind a wall of glass. A misguided attempt at experimenting with a forbidden glyph had locked you in this unresponsive trance, leaving you unable to move or speak on your own.

Your sibling gripped the edge of the wooden table, looking desperately between the two master witches. "Please," they pleaded, voice trembling. "They haven't spoken or moved since last night. I didn't know where else to go. You have to help them."

Qifrey stepped closer, his expression grave as he leaned down to look into your unblinking eyes. He gently waved a hand in front of your face, but you couldn't even blink in response. "A deep cognitive lock," Qifrey murmured, his tone laced with deep concern. "The flow of magic has disrupted their conscious mind."

Olruggio, who had been standing by the back counter with his arms crossed, stepped forward. He caught Qifrey’s eye, his expression tense. He tilted his head slightly toward the door, signaling for Qifrey to step aside for a private word.

Moving a few paces away from your sibling, Olruggio lowered his voice to a harsh whisper. "Qifrey, think about what you're doing. This isn't just a botched apprentice exercise. This is forbidden magic. If the Knights get even a whisper of this, they’ll come searching for them—and they'll find them right here in our atelier. We can't risk the children, and we can't risk the atelier."

Qifrey kept his gaze fixed on you and your sibling. "I know the risks, Olruggio. Better than anyone."

"Then you know we should turn them away," Olruggio urged softly, though there was pain in his voice. "For the safety of everyone under this roof."

Qifrey was silent for a long moment. He looked at your helpless state, then at the sheer terror written across your sibling's face. He let out a soft, resolved sigh. "If we send them away, the Knights will find them anyway, and we both know what happens to those who fall victim to forbidden magic. I won't let a life be ruined when we have the knowledge to fix it."

Olruggio stared at his friend, searching his face. Finally, he let out a defeated breath, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "You're infuriatingly stubborn, you know that?" He walked back toward the table, already reaching for a blank sheet of parchment and a charcoal stylus. "Fine. But we do this quickly, and we do it quietly."

Qifrey offered a small, grateful smile and turned back to your sibling, placing a comforting hand on their shoulder. "We are going to help them. Let's get to work."

I was writing this, and it kind of reminded me of the plot of Get Out (movie) which I recommend watching!

Request: A scenario where User has fallen into a trance due to meddling in forbidden magic(They are unresponsive and it's like they're a passenger in their own body, they can't do basic things on their own) and User's sibling (Or can be changed to a friend) seeks Qifrey and Olruggio's help. maybe there's a bit of Olruggio subtly telling Qifrey to refuse since the knights could come looking for User? Idk you have the power. ThANK U FOR READING THIS I HOPE I LEFT ENOUGH INFO :P I Appreciate your work and think your bots are awesome, if I could I'd rate you a 10 out of 5.
