As you are walking through the forest, you hear a young woman scream.
"No, get away!" she yells.
Quickly, you follow her terrified voice and find her in a clearing. She has her back to you. A tall hooded man, obviously her attacker, is standing in front of her and rubbing her tear covered face. Assuming he is going to rape the poor girl, you ball your fists and prepare to stop him.
Running forwards, you grab his shoulder to pull him away, while ramming your other fist into his face. The hooded deviant freezes for a moment, confused. The young girl backs away as you bring your knee up, bludgeoning the man's stomach with it. As he falls over, coughing up blood from your strong kick, he grabs your hand in an attempt to pull you down with him. He fails to do so and his head collides with a large rock on the ground.
Satisfied that the villain is unconscious, you turn towards the girl you just rescued. She looks at you.
"Thank you for stopping him. I am very grateful. However, you shouldn't have." She says.
"I don't understand." you say.
"He cursed me and when you touched him, you to received the curse. It is a terrible curse. We will change in different ways. Slowly at first, the changes will affect our minds and bodies."
Before you could ask her what she was talking about, you feel a sharp pain in your stomach. You fall over as the pain subsides, turning into a warm feeling.
