Keep your memories...

Xylon's breaths slowed as he gazed up at the sky, feeling a sense of calm wash over him. But it was short-lived, as he suddenly felt a searing pain in his hand where the snake had bitten him. The venom was strong and coursing through his veins.

Just as he was struggling to catch his breath, he heard a faint sound in the distance. At first, he thought it was just the wind blowing through the desolate landscape, but as he focused on the noise, he realized it was someone speaking in the Xanthalarian language.

As he lifted his torso to see what was happening, the room before him cleared, and he was surrounded by a sense of calm. He was confused, unsure of what was happening to him.

And then, out of nowhere, a voice repeated to him in the Xanthalarian language. It was like a whisper in his ear, and yet it was so clear. 

"The moment you opened the door, you have been hypnotized," the voice said, sending shivers down his spine.
