Chapitre 200: The Origin Of The Relic

"What do you think?"

Alex's mind whirled with questions, the gravity of the situation pressing down on him. He looked at Adrian, who stood there with a faint, enigmatic smile.

"My heart says you're the real Adrian," Alex began slowly, his voice tinged with uncertainty. "But my mind says you aren't. But then, if I've taken your body, then... are you the soul of Adrian?"

Adrian's smile widened slightly, his eyes twinkling with a knowing glimmer. "Go on," he urged softly.

Alex took a deep breath, trying to piece together his thoughts. "I get this weird feeling, like I know you somehow. Do you know why or how I ended up taking over your body?"

Adrian's smile faded into a more thoughtful expression. He crossed his arms, his eyes never leaving Alex's. "There are forces at play beyond our understanding, Alex. You were brought here, into my world, into my body, for reasons we may never fully grasp."
