"You're right, m-maybe they'll know!"
Everything was going according to Alec's Plan.
He decided to head to a nearby village, for the next stage of his plan. They arrived about 20 minutes later, after an uneventful journey.
Alec headed towards a small chapel on the outskirts and walked up to the door, before stopping.
"You should wait out here Leone. I'll go inside and explain the situation first."
"Yes, you... you do that, i'll wait out here." Leone had intended to sound commanding,
but his voice made it obvious that he was just scared of being seen by anyone, while inside Alec's body.
Alec walked into the chapel and immediatly saw the Priest walking towards him with a concerned look on his face.
"Are you alright young man?"
Alec smiled at the Priest. "Possession!"
...
Leone waited at the door, scared that anyone would see him,
when the doors to the chapel opened, revealing a Priest.
"The boy explained what happened, please, come inside."
The Priest lead Leone into a backroom and had him sit down at a table.
Leone looked around the room, but couldn't see Alec. "Can you tell me where the person i am with is?"
The Priest looked at him with a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry, he's getting changed in a different room. What you should be concerned about is your current situation."
"Do you know what happened to us?!"
"Yes. I've heard of something like this before. I have good news and bad news."
Leone gulped. "W-what are the bad news?"
"Well, the story i've heard is about a duke. He was handsome and talented, but also prideful and condescending.
His god was displeased by the young duke's behaviour, but also saw great potential in him.
The god punished him by swapping his soul with that of a slave.
The duke remained in the body of the slave for three years and served the slave that had his body.
He endured many things in those years and he was a better man for it."
"But what has any of that to do with me?" Leone asked impatiently.
"I believe that you the way for you to turn back is by learning the way the duke did."
Leone felt cold sweat running down his back "You.. you don't mean-"
"Yes, you should serve the boy that was with you and learn what life is like from another perspective.
Only then will you return to you body."
"But i won't have to become his slave, right?" Leone asked with a desperate expression.
"That's completely up to you, but you should probably stick as close to the story as possible."
The two talked for a little longer, before the priest escorted Leone back to the door.
...
Alec walked out of the chapel a short while later, wearing a simple shirt and pants, and walked over to Leone
"The priest told me everything. What do you think we sould do?"
Leone took a deep breath and looked at Alec.
