Chapter 4: [ Cave ]
Alexander groaned while opening his eye, pain radiated through his chest.
He propped himself up on one elbow and looked down.
A circular scar was on his chest, with what looked like runes inscribed around it.
It looked intricately detailed, with triangles and circles that had multiple outlines, all creating one eye-catching magical circle.
He ran his finger along the scar, it wasn’t deep, and barely hurt.
Why would he do that?
He sat upright, instantly regretting his decision.
Pain pulsated through his head, as if someone turned up the heat with no regards for his safety.
As the heat increased, so did the magic circle on his chest, creating a mixture of pain unlike anything he had ever felt before.
He held his head with both hands, applying pressure with his fingers which brought slight relief.
He closed his eyes.
