The Myth of Outsider
Date: December 7, 2007
I was so happy, we found her alive and apparently well. It was still cold in here and there were no exits, I kept filming as we went over every skull. I explained as best as I could about each one. We heard a loud growl and then a scrapping noise coming from where we came in from, we hid at one of the corners near the opening. Lucas aimed his gun ready to shoot, we knew that growl well, it was a Serpent, they found us. The chimes in the room stopped moving and out of the opening was a huge Serpent with a great spiked crest, spiked shoulders and great spikes from its back. Its tail was longer than the other Serpents it had spikes all over it, when it was dragged it sounded like metal scraping metal. It's armor reminded me of knights of old. It looked around hissing and growling. What kind of Serpent is this?! I held the camera firm at it recording its every move, it looked at Outsider and walked over to her. It turned around and sat down in front of her. The Serpent wrapped its tail around the pillar nearly touching the top. Geez this things huge!
Lucas held his breath, it hasn't noticed us yet but if it did, this might be the end for both of us.
Minutes later . . .
Here we are, still in the corner watching the Serpent. It just sat there hissing, growling and purring. I was getting very annoyed with this Serpent. I was now numb as much as Lucas, we held each other but he kept his gun pointing at it. We didn't want to be killed! It slowly unwrapped its tail, turning around it bowed its head. I leaned to Lucas' ear and whispered to him.
"You know in the myth, they say that Outsider is a Queen Serpent. Maybe this is a Warrior Serpent or something, maybe a knight!" I giggled, Lucas chuckled a little. I could feel his chest heave, he was getting ready to cough. I covered his mouth, and looked him in the eyes. "Don't cough."
There was a loud scrapping noise, we both looked at the Serpent it was crossing the room to the other end. It tapped its tail on the floor, I must say the tail must of been at least eleven or twelve feet long, with a serrated blade at the tip. A direct hit from that tail will surly kill anyone and anything. Yet I feel something weird about this Serpent for it looked at us then the wall, the wall moved and opened revealing a hallway. The Serpent walked into the hallway disappearing from our sight, we slowly got up onto our feet, I swore I heard a voice. A female voice soft and gentle enough to call her 'mother'.
"They're coming you must leave this room now, for they know your down here. Follow him, Anna."
As we crossed the room, I looked back and saw a Serpent looking at us! It was a small one it shrieked in surprise and charged at us only to stop in its tracks when it reached the pillar. It screamed again but this time it took off in the other direction, did Outsider scare it? The myth did state that the Serpents feared her, could they still be afraid of her? We hurried to the hallway, only one path. Lucas kept the pistol at the ready, around the next corner I could feel warmth. There was a shadow on the wall, the same shadow from before. I pulled Lucas along, we had to follow that shadow. Sure enough we found ourselves at the bottom of two thousand steps, how far down were we?! Lucas began to laugh sarcastically, I joined him.
"I guess this is today's workout!"
We began to climb the steps slowly, the further we went we found more and more skeletons of humans, Yautja and Serpents of all kinds! I looked up the steps and saw that tail from that Serpent from Outsider's tomb! Lucas looked back and there behind us were five Serpents!
"We got company!"
I looked back just as one jumped toward us, Lucas pushed me down, what I saw next was terrifying! Lucas was carrying me on his shoulder and I saw that Serpent again with the long tail! It was fighting off the other Serpents, it looked at me and bowed its head, then faced the others growling and hissing. They hiss back and swayed their tails, they all pounced onto the Serpent. I now knew what kind of Serpent that saved our lives! I gave it a name, it might catch on. I called it the Knight Serpent, it acted like a knight who is greatly obeying his queen. I sighed at the thought but I soon found myself being laid on the steps. Lucas was panting and shivering, I cuddled him and kissed him. I just realized something!
"Oh shit!"
I stood up and looked around the steps.
"What?"
"I must of dropped the camera back there! We have to go back and get it!"
I started to go down the steps but Lucas grabbed my hand. I turned around and looked at him.
"No Anna."
"It has all our work on it!!"
"Listen Anna, there is no way we're going back down there to where I picked you up! Cause I ain't carrying you back up these damn steps!!"
"I guess your right, they might still be fighting down there."
I helped Lucas climb the steps and soon enough we reached the top. I saw light coming from the wall in front of us, we could head either right or left into another hall but we studied this wall.
"I recognize this wall."
The memory of the wall being gone, and I was looking inside before that little girl appeared. This is the same wall from outside!
"Lucas we must break down this wall to escape."
Lucas looked around, he found nothing.
"I guess we'll have to push it open. Come on Anna, let's see your muscles!"
I wasn't exactly strong but we had no choice. We pressed ourselves against the wall and began to push, it budged and began to fall. The light from the sun blinded us for a second and the heat thawed us completely, I felt like going back down the stairs but we had to get out alive! That Knight Serpent saved our lives, but it was doing what it was told by its queen.
MEMO: Hoped ya liked it! I made the Knight Serpent up so! It's mine! Ha ha ha!! It's the second strongest Serpent there is other than a Queen. Fear the knights! LOL leave a review pleas!
