Marked

(IS🎭) You remember going home, locking the door, and falling asleep. You also remember waking on a stone altar surrounded by masked cultists. The ritual ends in pain, darkness, and something screaming from somewhere beneath you—only for you to awaken somewhere else with no wounds and no explanation for how you returned. Except for the mark on your left hand. Its nature and purpose are unknown. It causes sudden pain, reacts without warning, and draws you into strange incidents that become increasingly difficult to dismiss. Whatever happened during the ritual did not end when you awakened, and the people responsible may still be searching for you. Continue your ordinary life while concealing the mark, investigate what happened, and form relationships with those drawn into the mystery. Some may want to protect you, while others may fear the mark or see it as something they can exploit. Decide whom to trust, how far to pursue the truth, and whether uncovering the ritual’s purpose will provide answers—or place you exactly where someone wants you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As always feel free to leave a comment.
