The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 559 The Stone Chamber In The Black Mist

Sylvia's POV:

I took the pendant off my neck and looked at it closely. Was I imagining things or was it glowing a gloomy red light?

"What's that? Why is it glowing?" Flora's eyes widened in curiosity. Apparently, I wasn't imagining things.

I didn't say anything. Biting my lower lip, I stared at the pendant uneasily. I had a bad feeling about this.

"Damn it! Not again!" Flora stomped her foot in frustration.

I looked up to see what she was shouting at and saw that black mist began to circle us. But it was different from the white smoke just now. The black mist was odorless, but I somehow knew it was extremely dangerous.

"Run!" I shouted in a panic.

But it was too late. The black mist spread towards us very fast. In a matter of mere seconds, we were enshrouded in the mist and couldn't see anything around us, nor could we hear any sounds. I shouted the others' names and started walking urgently.

Finally, I made my way out of the mist. But I found myself in a small stone chamber. There was nothing in the room, save for a stone tablet in front of me, with complex and mysterious runes written on it, like some kind of ancient language.

I looked around my surroundings carefully and found that not only the stone tablet was covered with runes, but also walls. Densely packed runes covered the walls like ancient graffiti.

I observed these runes carefully, trying to find some clues. However, the longer I stared at the markings on the wall, the dizzier I felt. I felt like I was going out of my mind.

I squeezed my eyes shut and slowly opened them again. In that moment, I felt as though I had received some sort of information.

Just then, my brain suddenly ached violently.

I couldn't stand the pain. I staggered backwards and was about to collapse to the floor when a pair of hands caught me. I vaguely heard Layla's voice from behind me. "This is the language of witches and wizards. It's some kind of curse. You'd better not look at it."

To my surprise, not only Layla was here, but also Flora and Ashley.

As for the soldiers, they were nowhere to be found.

"How'd we get here?" Flora scratched her head in confusion and began to look around the stone chamber.

The stone chamber was empty, save for some white candles lined up against one of the walls.

Flora picked up one of them and lit it, but the feeble flame immediately went out.

"Weird..." Flora mumbled. Unwilling to give up, she took out another match and lit the candle again.

And in the blink of an eye, the candlelight went out again.

Flora was so scared that she threw away the white candle. Rubbing her arms, she muttered, "This place gives me the creeps. Why won't the candles stay lit?"

"It must be some kind of magic trick set up by a witch," Ashley guessed, scratching her chin.

I didn't say anything. I frowned and started groping the wall, trying to find the way out.

"I once heard from Hobson that powerful witches all have their own domains. They're like cunning rats, shrouding their domains in a fog. One can only enter with the key."

I stopped fumbling and slowly looked at Ashley. "Did Hobson tell you what those keys were like?" "It differs per witch. It may be a piece of bark, or a pen perhaps. It depends on the witches' personal preference," Ashley replied with a shrug.

"Could it be a pendant?"

"Yes! It's possible!" With an excited shriek, Flora rushed to me and urged me to take out the glowing pendant.

I took out the burning pendant from my pocket, and sure enough, it had stopped glowing a gloomy red light.

Flora looked at it closely and after a while, she finally came to a conclusion.
