Something... Familiar?

The fire continue to swirl and form into something new.

Or was it new?

The flames quickly turned from a hot orange to a cool blue.

You noticed something appearing from within the flames, a... flower?

It was quite a small flower, not quite what you were expecting.

If anything you assumed a doll would be, you know... a doll?

Like the one's children played with.

Or at least something a little more powerful looking.

Your thoughts of dolls were interrupted as you noticed the flame began to die down.

All of the candles had melted from the intense heat, leaving no light to see.

You quickly ran over and turned on the light switch.

The flower began to bloom, or at least the petals were... moving?

???: Hello Master!

AGHHHHHH!

You screamed so loud you thought you had woken up your neighbors.

???: What's wrong Master?

The flower petals had moved to reveal a red rat.

Did you just call me Master?

???: That's right! You made the contract and now you're my Master!

Oh, uh... great! Do I need to feed you... or give you water?

???: No Master! As a doll, I have no need for any of that!

Then, how do you stay alive?

???: I use your spirit power!

Spirit power?

???: Yes! Everyone has some spirit power. Think of it like your stamina!

Or like mana!

???: I'm not sure what that is, but I assume it's correct!

Oh, what should I call you?

You may call me Ritz!

Like a Ritz cracker!

Ritz: Sure!

So uh, are you good at fighting?

Ritz: Nope!

"How can she say that so happily?"

So what can you do?

Ritz: I can fly into someone's body and take control of them!

Ritz: Hm, but with your spirit power level... I can't do much.

Ritz: I think I can only control someone for a day. I'm sorry Master!

What do you mean! That's amazing Ritz!

Ritz: Really! Yay! You're so much nicer than my old Master!

Wait, you had another master?

Ritz: I think so? I don't remember much. Just that he was very mean.

I thought each doll is unique to the person that made a contract with them.

Ritz: That's normally the case, but I guess you're special master!

"The book said the doll would be bound for life, and I don't seem to age... Does that mean, her original master was killed?"

"Oh well that's not important right now, I have to test Ritz' ability!"

Let's go out and test your ability Ritz!

Ritz: Sure thing Master!

But, where should we go?
