Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: The Mark

Sami lay on the forest ground, breathing heavily.

His chest rose and fell as he tried to calm his racing heart.

For a moment, he thought everything was over.

The red sky, the shadow creatures, the floating door… all gone.

Only the quiet forest remained.

The wind moved softly between the trees.

Sami slowly sat up.

His body was shaking.

"Was that… real?" he whispered to himself.

He looked around carefully.

Everything seemed normal.

The same trees.

The same cold air.

The same silence of the night.

Then suddenly, Sami felt a strange burning sensation on his right hand.

"Ah!"

He looked down quickly.

On the back of his hand, a strange black symbol was slowly appearing.

It looked like a circle with strange lines inside it.

The mark glowed faintly for a moment.

Sami stared at it in shock.

"What is this…?"

The mark suddenly stopped glowing.

But it did not disappear.

It stayed on his skin like a tattoo.

Sami felt a chill run down his spine.

He suddenly remembered the door.

And a terrible thought appeared in his mind.

"What if… the door can find me again?
