Chapter 322

• It felt like another eternity before I came back to my senses and grabbed my chest. There was no wound, no blood and I could feel my heart still beating. Anger spread through my veins and I glared at Death as I got to my feet once again.
• “I didn’t kill him with magic!” I screamed and he wagged his finger at me as he smiled.
• “Oh, but you did, Kiran, his heart was still beating when you set it alight!” He laughed as he looked at me and the realization registered in my eyes that he wasn’t lying. He alternated between letting me burn and leaving me alone to recover from the pain deep inside to ripping my chest open, over and over again.
