Several weeks passed before Chen's wound from his fight with the man in black finally healed. He still didn't know the man's intentions or why he wanted to kill him.
Chen arrived home and was immediately taken care of by his mother in his room.
Chen entered his room and lay down, looking up. He raised his right hand, and as he did, it began to glow. The light took the shape of a dagger, landing in Chen's hand. While holding it, he noticed inscriptions on the dagger that he couldn't understand. He touched the words, and they immediately illuminated.
Chen was startled by what had happened. When he opened his eyes, he found himself no longer in his room. He quickly looked around to see where he was and discovered himself in a dilapidated building, with broken walls and crumbling stones. The place was on the verge of collapse, covered in moss from years of neglect. Chen realized that the place he had arrived at resembled a kingdom that had been ravaged.
In the dim and desolate surroundings, a shadowy figure stood, observing Chen.
After Chen examined his surroundings, he moved to another area to investigate further. As he walked, he felt a presence and called forth the dagger in his hand. The dagger emerged, and Chen carefully surveyed the area, preparing himself for what he sensed.
The shadowy figure, observing Chen from the darkness, was surprised to see Chen reveal the dagger. The figure whispered softly,
"The person from the prophecy."
And just like that, the figure vanished, as if there was no one there. Chen, feeling that there was no longer anyone following him, continued to survey the area.
