Chapter Four: The Warrior
Part 21:
Amos entered the now familiar temple hub. Darkness flowed into the vast room through the large hole in the wall and ceiling behind the center column. Only the light of stars and moons broke the dark veil which covered the red stone ledges.
The mudokon had lost track of time while wandering the ancient catacombs of Scrabania. He had had a tough time, and had fresh lacerations to prove it. He would wear his scars proudly after he got out of this place. But for now the pain was just an annoyance.
Amos looked at the intricately carved door in the column center of the hub. That was his last test. The journey through the heart of the scrab nest. When he got to the end he would finally be able to meet the legendary Big Face. Then he would receive his reward.
But first a little rest. He would need it.
