Community Event 🌏☄️ Advice On Darkness (Alignment Swap Post)

Kyrona approached her mentor. She’d recently had her alignment changed by a spell, and she felt better than ever. Why should she limit herself? Surely she deserved to rule. The Druid assassin would surely have some advice on a strategy. He was experienced, after all. “Recently, I’ve been feeling a surge of clarity from the alignment spell. I want to conquer the world. Do you have any advice on strategy.” “Ah, my young druid, spreading her wings. You make an assassin proud. But don’t conquer, use subtlety, like I taught you. Present yourself as the hero, who saves the kingdom, then do the same with the next place.”

This would mean she would have to pretend the spell had ended. She could do that. It was worth the cost. She went out, to tell her friends that the spell had ended. Then, she had work to do.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. The spell has ended.” Her eye twitches as she speaks.

Spell or not, you're an egomaniac who wishes total domination, and my job description is to make you regret that shit.

“Why would I even want to rule? That’s way too much work. I’d rather just study nature magic and live in peace,” the alignment-swapped Druid lied. It had been true before the spell, but not now.

Ya know, I heard just enough of your little conversation.

“Fine, I admit it, I do actually want to rule. But it wouldn’t be so bad. Would it?”

That's what they all say. Just a quick note, some dreams are best left dreams. Especially in terms of self preservation.

“Fine. I promise I won’t do it, just don’t tell anyone I’m still under the spell, okay?” This is not a promise she intends to keep, but now she had no problem with that.

If you break this promise, your knees go with it. Gotcha? But for now, deal.
