The legendary stone

Drip!

Ryan felt a warm, fluffy, light weight on his face and decided not to open his eyes.

Something or someone was using his face as a pillow.

Ryan had estimated that to be a small animal.

He could now feel the faint heartbeats of it peacefully taking a nap.

His hand twitched, but he wasn't able to move.

For a few minutes, Ryan simply lay on the ground, letting his thoughts and confusion die down and settle in.

From time to time, a drop of drool would fall on his eyes.

Other than that, it was almost completely dark.

If not for his ability and energy vision, which was starting to show faint traces of returning, he would have had trouble discerning the shapes of objects around him, including the puppy resting on him.

After some time, however, a feeling of uneasiness entered his mind.

Something was off.

Ryan exhaled, trying to understand where that feeling was coming from.
