The Forsaken Heir's Ascension

Is this a dream where I can't escape?

Suddenly, pain came tearing him inside out. He closed his eyes in agony. When he opened them, he saw the sky hidden by trees.

"I'm out, but this pain... it's tearing my head."

"Woof! Woof!"

Hati came running and started licking Alex's face.

"Yes, yes, I'm okay, Hati. Relax," Alex replied with a warm smile.

He tried to stand up, but his body felt a little heavy. After moving a little, he started feeling better.

Then he looked around—trees formed some type of barrier with only one opening toward that big tree touching the sky.

Hydra's only bones and skin remained.

Alex said with wide eyes, "How much time was I trapped there?"

He saw Hati, who had grown a little.
