The dragon outside the door roared like a caged animal that had just gained its freedom. This very same roar awakened the unconscious Penelope.
She quickly got up and ran away from the clearing.
Luckily, the dragon skeleton did not seem to notice her existence and was focused on the large stone door behind it. Penelope frowned. All she could remember was touching the dragon, then her gaze darkened.
She must have fainted just now. For some reason, a part of her seemed to want to touch the bones so much. It beckoned her to touch it! A spell? A curse?
Her pupils dilated when she realized that she had just fallen into a trap! Her senses immediately turned alert. She looked at the narrow path, a part of her wanted to go back.
No. She could not go back now! She came here, risking her life just to get a part of the Tome! She could not go out and leave just like this!
