Chapter 0372

Enzo

I should have known that Selena would suddenly appear. I supposed that I got too comfortable thanks to Nina's strange powers; I should have pulled her away from the murals and continued on our journey.

But even if I did do all of that, maybe Selena would have found us anyway.

As I laid there on the floor, I felt as though there was a ton of bricks on my chest. An invisible force pinned me to the floor, making my limbs feel heavy and weak. The spell invaded my throat and my mouth, keeping me from speaking.
