Chapter 37: Admonishment
“You gonna sleep forever?”
He awoke still laying in the shallow water on the cave floor, his body burning with pain. He felt hands grab him beneath the shoulders and was lifted to find Lance looking at him with a smile.
“I was thinking I earned a little nap.” He grinned softly.
“Nah, you gotta go poke the altar, remember?” Garret clapped him on the shoulder, making him groan. “You’re the resident creepy statue activator. So, off you go.”
He grumbled under his breath as a response before he mentally dove into his storage bracelet. It only took a pop of a cork followed by a single gulp, to down his healing potion. “Give me a second,” he said.
The chimera beast was still lying at the pool’s edge, dead. But the cavern had been cleaned up as well. At least, there was no trace of Alex’s blood or the chimera’s purple fluids, that he could see. He assumed Henry had gone to work on the area with a water spell to powerwash it all away. Which was... smart actually.
He knew where he needed to go and a quick jump took him across the small cavern in a single leap.
Landing on unsteady legs, he managed to stagger up onto the platform on the other side of the pool. His bones still burned from forcing his caustic blood into overdrive, every throb of pain a reminder of what he’d done. But he wasn’t about to let that slow him down now.
He stepped forward.
The statue loomed ahead, its carved features were partly eroded, but its depiction of a serpent looking to the sky in anger gave off an aura in a way that set his teeth on edge.
He decided not to waste time and placed one hand on the stone, forcing his will into it. The familiar chime of the System rang in his head.
