Freedom of Choice

They say that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. But something is definitely going to finish me off!

I fell into the Dark World together with a curious dragon, a Snickers bar, and a pocketknife? Nothing, and not from such situations people get out! I came back, grabbing an ancient amulet for long-term memory—the one a mage with a snake-like gaze is hunting. This can be figured out, though I’ll have to try hard. It’s much harder to keep an eye on my own stupid heart, which keeps trying to make the wrong choice!
