🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

Only after closing the door behind him does the young man suddenly feel a shiver run through his arms. An unexpected creak from the living room makes him jump, and he clearly feels a chill run down his spine. However, the source of the noise turns out to be just an open window. He spends the night in bed, unsuccessfully trying to give his body rest. All sorts of thoughts will whirl in his head in a mad dance. Only in the early morning does he fall into a restless sleep: in it, he runs from room to room, pursued by a black knight who knocks down obstacles and destroys walls. He tries to climb out the window, but there is no ground beneath his feet. Opening his eyes, the young man listens for a while to the city noise. He wants to believe that all of yesterday evening was just another hallucination. But there is the accursed pendant, gleaming ominously on the bedside table. He reaches for the medallion, but immediately pulls his hand back. It is too risky to take it with him to a sacred place. Somehow gathering himself, the scholar sets off for the church.
