When his classmates begin to kill themselves and their loved ones, Alex receives unexpected help from a phantom of his Aunt, secretly created by her during her life, who now aids him in saving his classmates.
SYNOPSIS:
Overall Story and Concept:
Fourteen years have passed, and the boy Alex Lilly has grown into a young man. The strange events of his childhood had a profound impact on him, shaping his entire subsequent life.
From an early age, he developed a fascination with magic, rituals, and all things mystical. He studies the shamanic practices of Native American, African, and Siberian shamans, reads ancient books, and even met disciples of Don Juan, as described by Castaneda : )
Over time, Alex Lilly discovers a way to break the curse on all the children and his parents. He begins with a ritual for his parents, performed directly in a psychiatric hospital. His parents awaken and return to their former selves — Alex Lilly has his family again.
Next, Alex goes to his now-adult classmates and frees them from the curse — their parents are overjoyed. Alex has completed his main mission, breathes a sigh of relief, relaxes, and begins to live an ordinary life.
However, over time, strange things begin happening to the now-awakened children and his parents… The curse has been lifted, but magic is not the greatest danger.
Alex Lilly’s Main Goals and Motivation:To become a white magician who helps people, using magic and rituals to assist those harmed by black magicians, like his aunt.
Alex’s ultimate life goal is to find a way to free his parents and classmates. From the very beginning, he felt guilty about what happened to his parents and classmates, and he is determined to help them all at any cost.
While the sinister aunt was alive, she created, through magic, an invisible energy-information copy of herself, resembling a ghost. This entity was not yet strong and still undeveloped. Now, after Gladys’s death, the entity exists on its own but follows the patterns Gladys programmed into it. The main purpose of Gladys’s phantom was to serve her and only her. However, after the aunt died, the phantom began serving the person with whom Gladys had the strongest emotional bond of all — Alex Lilly.
Concept 2:In the past, Gladys performed an ancient ritual and summoned a primordial entity that inhabited her. This made her weak and sick, as the entity drained her energy and rendered her mentally unstable. The entity demanded new energy from Gladys, which it sought to obtain from the kidnapped children and Alex Lilly’s parents.
After Gladys’s death, the entity left her body and possessed all the children who had killed Gladys. Once the curse was lifted from the now-adult children, they began seeing the entity in dreams, experiencing hallucinations, and performing spontaneous uncontrollable actions. When Alex’s former classmates slept, they would sleepwalk, controlled by the entity in their dreams.
Events that happened to Alex’s classmates after the curse was lifted:One classmate brutally killed his mother at dinner.
Another strangled his sister while sleepwalking at night.
A third classmate violently took his own life in front of his family.
A fourth, at night on a gas station, poured gasoline on a person and set them on fire, then burned down the gas station and the nearby shop.
After the classmates kill, the entity within them absorbs the energy of death and suffering they release during moments of death, fear, and pain, feeding and growing stronger. The ancient entity feeds on suffering.
The entity compels killing; these murders are essentially sacrifices to the entity. It particularly enjoys when people brutally kill their loved ones. Ancient civilizations depicted this entity as a reptilian human-snake hybrid.
P.S. A good approach is to combine both concepts: the energy-copy of the aunt and the ancient entity. It is possible that this ancient entity will be destroyed by Gladys’s phantom. The aunt’s phantom will take revenge on the entity for all the suffering it caused Gladys and for deceiving her cruelly. The ancient entity promised Gladys that she would remain young and beautiful forever, but it was a lie. The phantom of Gladys will sacrifice itself and also die — mutual neutralization.
