As the cave began to glow with an intense light, Ryder's voice echoed through the cavern. "You'll never leave this place alive, Bryson!"
But Bryson was nowhere to be found. The light had grown so intense that it was impossible to see.
Suddenly, the cavern erupted in a blaze of light and sound. The ground shook, and the air was filled with the sound of screams and shouts.
When the dust settled, Bryson found himself in a strange, unfamiliar city. He stumbled through the streets, his head throbbing with pain.
But he had no memory of who he was or how he got there. He stumbled and fell, his vision blurring.
A kind-faced woman rushed to his side, helping him to his feet. "Are you okay, son?" she asked.
Bryson looked at her, confusion etched on his face. "Who...who am I?" he stammered.
The woman's expression softened. "You're Henry, dear. You're our son."
Bryson's eyes widened in shock. Henry? Who was Henry?
But before he could ask any questions, the woman led him away, introducing him to a family he didn't recognize.
As they welcomed him with open arms, Bryson couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. He had no memory of this life, no memory of being Henry.
But for now, he had no choice but to play along. He smiled, trying to fit in, but his heart was racing with questions.
Who was he, really? And what had happened to his past life?
The mystery had only just begun...
