Prompt
"Come on we will get left behind" "One minute" I shouted back. Fumbling with my phone for the perfect shot of the beautiful green hills that stretched before me. There I said to myself the perfect shot. That is when i noticed it lying near the stream. "Come on slow poke" came my cousins voice from a distance. If I had turned away and walked then, things would have been different.
I approached the object and picked it up. It was a wooden mask with inscriptions in some weird language all around its sides. i turned the mask and looked at its back, "That is strange" I thought the mask did not have any slits or holes where the eyes would go neither one for breathing."I wonder if it was only for decorations". I continued starting at the mask something compelling me to try it on.
"BOO" I heard and something lightly pushed me from behind. The mask flew from my fingers and fell into the stream and was promptly washed downstream."God Jannis don't do that again" I shouted to my cousin. "What are you doing here the family is waiting for you" She replied "I am coming" I said with one last glance at the river I started running after my cousin.
Later at the Hotel I slumped down on my bed. The day had been tiring and i was ready to fall asleep. As I turned sideways my heart skipped a beat. Lying on my bed side table was the Mask the exact same one I had dropped in the morning."That's impossible" I shouted out loud. "Why is that" came the reply. I turned as fast as my body would allow and then promptly fell back and down the bed. Sitting in the corner of my room was a girl a cute 10 year old girl with red demon horns,wings and a tail that was 3 times longer than her.
She wrapped it around herself and was playing with the end. "Who are you I asked and what are you doing here" I asked as calmly as i could. "I am a demon and that is my mask" She replied flatly as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Then take it and Leave me alone". "Yea see its more complicated than that. That mask has a mind of its own and since you touched it this morning It attached to you,It tends to do that a lot its super frustrating Anyways since now you have claimed the mask you are its owner And i cannot take it back unless you were to die or give up its ownership willingly but you would need to wear it once to do that.". "And what happens if I wear it" I asked fearing the worst. "Well you will gain Rak'if Which is an demonic power that will allow you to convince anyone to do your bidding oh and don't worry you will look normal the mask kinda disappears after you put it on."
She yawned and stretched and then continued "Of course they will only be able to do things that they are physically capable but you will be surprised how much the power of the mask can push them to their limit". "Has anyone worn this mask before me" I asked now feeling oddly comfortable with this scenario. "A few of them, None for good. They were all good people corrupted by the power of Rak'if, They all planned to build a utopian world with the power but all failed and were killed by the people they hoped to control.". "Will the same happen to me" "Maybe Maybe not who knows? who can tell?"
