A Sense of Dread

Upon touching the rune, a sense of dread overcomes you. The air around you becomes thick with suspense, making it feel as though breathing may suffocate you.
When you look down, you see that the tips of your fingers (regardless of gloves) have been stained with a small amount of blood which you notice is leaking from your hand. Drops of blood from your palm have coloured the runic pages with crimson drop-stains.

The slickness of your fingers draws some pages to them which had been previously stuck apart. Flipping through the book again, you stop short when you see a somewhat familiar number.
