Ch139. Black Nest - 3 (Vena)
Kurt scratched his chin, perplexed by his familiar's reaction.
He looked at Groth, and gently stroked his ear.
"Don't even think I would do something like that to any of you, okay?"
Groth whined lightly.
Kurt walked from one side of the huge door to the other, looking for some symbol that could explain what kind of blood sacrifice that thing might require to open.
Until his eyes fell on an almost faded inscription on the stone, beneath which was a carving of a hand in low relief.
The indentation wasn't in the shape of a human hand, but Kurt could understand that it was where a palm should be placed.
The carving appeared to have markings for three fingers, and was somewhat larger in size than a human hand.
There was also a discoloration in that part of the stone, which seemed not to have been caused by the harsh weather inside the Nest.
No.
That discoloration could only have been caused by old blood.
