Chapter 2: Noah
Chapter 2: Noah
A grand chamber bathed in gold and silver. The air carried a faint scent of jasmine, and the flickering glow of enchanted crystals cast soft shadows on the walls. The sheer luxury of it was overwhelming.
At the center of the room, on a massive bed that could fit ten people, lay a boy no older than twelve.
Then—
"AHHHHHH!!!"
A bloodcurdling scream tore through the silence.
BOOM!
The doors burst open.
"Young Master Noah! Are you alright?!"
A middle-aged woman in a maid's uniform rushed inside, her face pale with worry. She raised her hands, a warm green light flickering to life in her palms. "Please, lie down! I'll help you!" She used her magic to calm him.
The boy—Brandon, now in an unfamiliar body—blinked, dazed. His breathing was ragged, his heart racing.
