The Awakening of the Unexpected

Chapter 46: The Awakening of the Unexpected

POV: Myrna

I was seated on a austere stone bench inside the crypt. My arms and legs, immobilized by cold chains, could not stifle the sharp lucidity of my mind. Before me, the scene unfolded with an almost ceremonial rawness. The walls of the crypt, carved with ancient runes and forgotten symbols, seemed to whisper secrets that only I could understand. The air was thick, charged with the energy of centuries of rituals and sacrifices. Here, in this sacred and cursed place, time seemed to stand still, as if the outside world did not exist.
