Chapter 13
The Paramonian Vaults
"Abe, what was that crash, you okay buddy?" Munch shouted down to Abe, sitting down by the hole.
Abe's moaning could be heard, and he replied.
"Yeah, I'm fine, it was a load of bones, yuck!" Abe grimaced, as he shuffled away.
"I'm coming down, here I go!" Munch said bravely. "GERONIMO!!"
A short time after another crash was heard, "I'm fine, come on down guys!" Munch called to the other 5 companions.
And soon enough, they all smashed down to the floor in a heap.
Once they'd all got up they went down a long, dark, winding corridor, with Paramite bones scattered all over the floor.
At the end of the corridor was a dead end, and a story stone with a Mudokon paw carved into it was stuck on the wall.
"Go on Abe, only you can read those things, put your hand in!" a Mudokon said, pointing at the story stone.
Abe did as his friend said, he placed his right paw into the hole, and a vision appeared in his mind.
"To seek the place you are looking for,
All you need to do is use your paw,
Here you are, doing it now,
Abe get off this story stone, you annoying cow,
Just get through that bird portal!
Go now you pathetic mortal!"
Abe's sight came back and he looked at his friends they were all sat on the floor, arms crossed.
"Abe, you're back, and you made a bird portal!" a Mudokon cried happily.
"Yeah, that stupid poem called me a cow, I dunno what the thing was all about, I never do know what they're saying to me..." Abe laughed, beginning to open the recently made bird portal.
He chanted and it burst open, a bright blue orb appeared in the middle.
"Come on, you guys, let's get through..." Abe told his friends, and they all hopped in the portal, Abe following.
A shadow crept down a hole, it slithered slowly down the corridor.
It then dived into the portal after Abe.
Once Abe and his friends had made it through the portal, they looked forward, they saw more stalectites hanging mysteriously from the ceiling.
Doorways were scattered all over the walls, with small ledges below them.
There were wells on the floor, leading to ledges... "This must be the Paramonian Vaults!" Abe thought to himself.
Abe beckoned his friend to a nearby doorway, and they all rushed to it, and went through, to Vault number 1...
The shadow lurked around a totem pole in the middle of the room, it slowly glided into the top, and turned into a blue flame...
