Day 2: A Harmless Wisp

It would be a simple venture. A typical "lost forest", in which the hero would need a spiritual guide.

Wisps were friendly creatures. Extremely simple, and extremely cute. Always eager to help. Always ready to direct you away from the not-so-friendly creatures. Not that this was of any concern to the hero. He was rather brave, and he was rather powerful. He could take on any enemy in his path.

Sure, he'd heard stories of the devil-wisps - typically weak, low level enemies. He could take them out in a single blow if he encountered any. The only mild worry he had was that of the trickier devil-wisps. The ones who could make a fool out of you.

Some say that those devils have the power to imbue certain artifacts with magic. Incredible, mind-bending magic. The kind that could bring the bravest of knights onto his knees, begging to serve the lowly creature, dedicate themselves to the same evils that plagued the land of demons. Should you be so easily fooled, you would be damned to a life of servitude to the weakest of creatures, no more than a minion to the darkness. A bottom feeder to Satan's bottom feeders. And you would enjoy it, too.

Perhaps that last part made the hero slightly nervous, but he chuckled through the thought. He had a world to save. He'd suffered far too many perils at this point to worry about something as unlikely as being at the foot of a minor demon. Surely he'd have the self control to deal with an imp's magic?

Besides, he'd already befriended an incredibly cute wisp. He'd have no problems getting through the forest.

It's just that, to find the right path, he needs to wear the mask. But what harm could a little mask do?

    WEBM doesn't work so well on phones, especially my piece of junk, so I'm always happy to see GIF versions :3
