"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck..." Mark whispered as he fell to his knees.
Out of breath, but also dizzy.
The hit he had received to the chin still showed its effects.
The white-scaled Monster had no way of knowing, but the invisible barrier that had kept the Moonlit Feline outside hadn't been crossed in centuries.
Mark also hadn't taken the time to study where he was by checking the Map he had been given by Raven a while ago.
In any case, Raven had asserted that there wasn't anything at the center of the Monster Realm.
That is because, at the center of the dark forest, was the barrier that kept all outside.
None could cross or break that barrier.
But Mark had managed to cross.
The answer as to why he had managed to was a simple one to find. The question, however, did not cross his mind.
In the first place, the fact that none could pass through the barrier wasn't something he could have known or guessed.
