The Phantom Crystal: an AJ Creepypasta

I started the adventure called The Search for Greely. It was going to be an exciting day, because I had unlocked a secret mode for the adventure that let me get a full set of Phantom Armor in one treasure chest. My friend had a white beta elf tail she'd promised to give me if I could bring her a set of Phantom Armor. Stingy ol' me, I love my armor set. So I went into the destroyed volcano hideout, and began.

But, little did I know, I was about to face grave danger. Literally.I moved around, running through the debris, mechanical helmet bouncing on my head. I followed the instructions eagerly, until I reached the disguise machine Greely had created. The Phantom Crystal I received had red splotches on it, and was a darker shade of purple. "Hmm, weird," I thought, reading the instructions on the wall by the machine.

It was written in drippy red letters and symbols.

Shrugging the danger factors off, I popped the crystal into place, gasping as purple spikes shot from the ground. Impaling my heart. Impaling my lungs. Impaling my face. My tail. My legs. Suspending me in midair. Almost every part of me had been stabbed through.

As I lay, slowly and painfully dying, the last thing I felt was the spikes pulling me into the ground with them. The last thing I heard was my gravestone popping into the air. And the last thing I saw was my own blood, dripping from my mouth, onto my paws.
