The hedgehog is then ejected into space, but lands onto a planet piece. Unfortunately the hedgehog gets trapped by the egg and gets forcibly depowered by what looks like a mechanical ray gun? The ray utilizes the gems energy to bring forth a serpentine dragon, fracturing a planet in the process. The hedgehog possessed said gems, using them to fight against the egg. The two were at odds with each other, but the circular being seemed to desire six massive gems. The wall illustrated two creatures: a hedgehog-like humanoid and an egg-shaped humanoid. He quickly ran through the hall and lit the torches opposite to the carving, then walked back to the end he entered and began to inspect it. A carving in the wall spanned the room, one that told a story he couldn't quite understand. Unlike the previous layers this one actually seemed to have something to it. He had gone up roughly three flights of stairs and found himself on a fourth layer. Not unless raiders had already emptied the place.
It was an odd case within his field, and may have proven this place to be a bust. No hints of ancient relics, treasure, or even skeletal remains could be found as he went through the halls of the stony ruins. Although oddly enough it had seemed pretty barren. Luckily, unlike in films, these places seemed to lack noticeable traps. Ben guessed this was where he had to go.īen's exploration proved to be rather lengthy. There was another staircase located within the middle of the room.
But once he found himself at the middle layer where the entrance was positioned he was ready for some exploration! His steps began to echo through the stone walls as he entered the opening, the room he was in having three other andentrances from the other sides of the layer. It took roughly ten minutes to climb the rather massive staircase. He then began a new trek, this time to explore the mysterious ruined temple. He bent over to strike it on the ground to light the match, then moved it to light the torch. So hopefully this was something new.īen took hold of one of the long torches on the path and pulled out a pack of matches from his belt. The very temple his group had been finding was in his very sight! Albeit it appeared to be of a similar shape as other Mayan temples within this region, being a massive quadrilateral layered building adorned with staircases, and a main entrance perched on a middle layer. His eyes widened in surprise at what he had found. Unlit torches lined the pathway in front of him, and that pathway led to a massive stairway. Most of the clearing was floored with a similar stone path he was currently on. He had found himself at the entrance of a massive clearing within the jungle. His hat soon finished rolling and as he bent over to pick it up, what he saw was amazing. But as Ben's chase furthered he began to realize that the forest floor had less thorny bushes and mud, a strangely patterned rock path having replaced it. And unfortunately due to the lack of light it made chasing it become a bit of a challenge. Oddly enough the hat rolled around the forest floor upon it's brim. A bit of him wanted to disregard it, but he felt compelled to chase after it. Overall, this was not the ideal experience to be in.Īs his unwilling adventure continued, a branch knocked his hat off his head. He absentmindedly wiped his forehead of more sweat that was amassing upon it. And his beige tactical dress shirt was drenched in sweat. His pants had slight tears from the occasional thorns. Every so often he'd trip on a tree root he hadn't seen. His legs had begun to feel rather fatigued as he trekked through the dense leaves. He really had to find his group.Īs more minutes passed, Ben began to look and feel more disheveled. The moon was barely visible through the thick canopy, but it was undeniable that it was night. He was now aimlessly walking around the jungle, albeit it would've likely been more dangerous considering the time of day. Disappointingly, he had found himself stranded from his team.
This jungle was an annoying bug infested nightmare.īen was an archaeologist who was a part of a small expedition team searching for a supposed temple within the inner reaches of a jungle located in Central America. File type: Text File (.txt) - Slap!īen sighed as he crushed another mosquito.
