Chapter 77 - 77. The Fire Amber (1/2)

Mack was expecting anything but that.

He looked at the thing once more and it was similar to a normal rock found in any place.

But was the onoy thing in there that did not moved a inch when he used his domain runespell.

Meaning, that hing had a will of his own.

Just to be sure, Mack waited for the feedback of his scan.

~thump~

But nothing showed on his scan.

”Weird”

Owned Essence would react to Mack scan, but this thing didn't moved a inch when using his domain runespell but also didn't appear on his scan..

One thing contradicted the other, while in Mack eyes a row of message saying this thing was a parasite kept him away from touching it and solve this mystery.

”What I do now?”

But when sayng his doubts aloud Mack remebered the plaque at the entrance and what was writen there.

'Let the fire burn in your heart'

Mack remebered the odd phrase. Normally when using this kind of methaphore people would say something like ' let the fire in your heart burn' not the opposite.

Mack pondered and kept an eye on the fire amber.

”I guess i will have another parasite in my body....”

Said Mack remebering the Argonian cape was the same.

He had no reason to do it, he could just store it and research but Mack knew this thing was there for a reason, his ancestor was not one of puting things just for decoration.

And remebering the phrases in the plaque Mack was sure of the reason. It was for him to take.

Mack approched the fire amber and touched with his right hand, at the same time a burning sensation spread to all his body, but not a burning as if made by fire but one as if Mack got a fever, an insanely high fever.

Feeling the burn, Mack retracted his hand but was already too late, the thing had already infected his body.

The temperature of his body was rapidly increasing and Mack felt as if he was inside a lava lake.

He was indeed.

~cough~

Mack cough for the first time since entering the tower.

~cough~

Mack put his hand over his mouth as a natural reaction to the coughs.

But when looking at his right hand there was blood in it.

He was coughing blood.

”Fuck”

When he was starting to regret his actions something snapped on his mind.

It was complete different from the Argonian Cape. Because the the cape was a mix of tech and biological life.

This thing in the other hand was a parasite and only that.

Mack could not believe what he was feeling right now.

It seemed as if he was connected somehow to all the lava lake.

Mack could not believe what he was feeling, this was like if his own body was not his anymore and instead he was just using it and now he could use in the same way the lava lake.

”What the fuck happened?”

Mack needed to test.
