Trapped

Magnus' POV

The skies were red and the rivers burned with flame. It is a most peculiar sight, I thought, isn't water supposed to repel fire? How is a blazing inferno lodged inside such a vast expanse of river? I would have liked to investigate, if only I were sane enough to do so. 

The pain felt excruciating, it seemed to arise from every molecule of my body. Wherever I touched, it hurt like hell….my body was completely sore but my mind felt no fog. A thousand thoughts ran through my head, agonising my mind while my body cried in pain. 

I was trapped inside a ruby, this much I could make out very well. Also, this is the most cruelest form of Dark Magic…. I was entitled to it for life now. My mind and body will be stuck in this perennial limbo until the end of time.
