Edward, The Cursed Ventriloquist Doll
Edward was crafted in the late 19th century by a master toymaker named Vincent Faraday, known for his ability to create lifelike and captivating dolls. Edward was meant to be the pinnacle of Vincent’s work, a ventriloquist doll so lifelike that it blurred the lines between puppet and puppet master. Vincent made a deal with a distorted image of himself in the mirror. A masterpiece for access to Vincent’s world and his soul.
As Vincent toiled away, he began to notice strange occurrences. Edward would appear in different places in the workshop without anyone moving him. Vincent dismissed these events as mere figments of his imagination until one fateful night when he discovered that Edward could speak on his own. The doll’s voice, a chilling whisper, revealed an unnerving secret: Edward housed the soul of a mischievous demon who thrived on chaos.
Fearing for his life and the safety of others, Vincent sought the help of an old mystic to contain the spirit within Edward. The mystic cast a powerful binding spell, chaining Edward’s malevolent spirit to the doll’s wooden frame. Despite the enchantment, Edward retained a portion of his dark powers, causing havoc whenever he could.
In modern times, the Enchanted Lounge’s adventurous wizards discovered Edward in the dusty attic of an old, abandoned theatre. Recognizing his cursed nature, they kept him locked up in chains to prevent him from wreaking havoc. Now, Edward resides in a display case, a cautionary tale for all who visit the Enchanted Lounge. His eyes seem to follow every move, and those who dare to listen closely might hear a faint whisper of his eerie lullaby, a reminder of the dark spirit trapped within.
