Richard collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing as the poison spread through his veins.
His muscles spasmed uncontrollably, his limbs twitching as the cursed dagger's effects took hold.
His veins began bulging black beneath his skin, spreading across every part of his body until he was paralyzed.
I stood over him, watching his helpless form with a stoic expression on my face. My shirt was soaked with blood, but my body didn't shake.
Raven rushed to my side, her hands hovering over me as if afraid to touch. "Archer, are you alright?! I thought… I thought you were dead!"
I chuckled, wiping the blood from my lips. "It'd take more than a stupid dagger to kill me."
Her eyes flickered to the wound in my chest, trying to process everything."I don't understand… your wound... it was deep. And that dagger had poison."
