Hey guys, sorry for this long, long pause. I have been pretty busy and haven't been able to post much, Anyway, hope you enjoy the new chapter.
Catacombs suck. Sadie
(MINE Carter!) Any who after seeing our good ol' buckos as you Americans would say, we ventured deeper and deeper into the tomb. Cobwebs gathered around, "Bes, Thwart, how's it been?" Carter asked. "Just swell." Thwart spoke with glee. "Bes chuckled and gave a nod. They walked hand in hand, I took notes. I walked near Walt and locked hands with him, he gave me a blank look but didn't refuse. "Was that Kek?" I asked Bes. "yeah, why you lookin' for him?" Bes wondered.
I didn't want to explain now so I gave Carter a glance. He understood and started chatting with them. As we sailed down the spiral into more catacombs I saw more and more hieroglyphs. They began to look cracked, older. The farther we went down the older they got. Zia was holding the torch (and yes it was a torch not a light) when it began to sputter out she would use fire magic.
When we reached the bottom of the spiral we came into a vast area. It was still dark mind you so we all had to use a torch, lucky for us carter had some spares in his locker. We all went in different directions searching for the shadow we saw minutes before. "If I were a shadow where would I be?" I asked myself. Suddenly the air went cold, even with the torch very close it was freezing. "He's near." I whispered to Walt. I summoned a staff Walt summoned magic from his hands. This time he used fire, donno why. Then he appeared in all of his glory.
Kek looked like… a frog? A man hovered in the air he wore black robes and had the head a frog. "Pathetic mortals, what are you here for." He lisped. Me and Walt exchanged confused looks. "Umm, are you Kek?" I asked finally. "Of course, I am, god of chaos and darkness for like 15,000 years." "Oh god Cleo, you messed up this time." I muttered. Kek stared grimly at us. "So, what did you come here for, if nothing I will destroy you." I gulped slowly then looked at Walt, he didn't glance back but he looked ready for anything. Perhaps that was because he had a god in him. We made the first move… it didn't go too well.
"Tas" I yelled. Ribbons began entangling the frog man. After he practically became a mummy light came from underneath the ribbons or rather came from the air towards the ribbons. Slowly the torch lost light, and darkness came. He heard him laugh from all sides, a cackle that sounded very hoarse. "A'max" Walt said. Fire cracked and cackled all over his arms. Projecting light farther then expected all around us we saw rotting corpses standing up staring at us. They had circled us, standing still, watching every move. Then a light gust of wind blew out Walt's arm fire. When he relit, the corpses were closer. "Oh dear, what have we gotten ourselves into?" I muttered. A stronger gust of wind blew out the flames again.
When Walt lit this last time, the corpses were directly around us. "CARTER!" I screamed. Then Walt began flaming them. The corpses still didn't move when on fire but at least now they would be seen and will die hopefully soon. We pushed through the horde of bodies until we reached the others. "What is it Sadie? Asked Zia. Me and Walt didn't stop, we kept going and yelled "RUN." On our way away.
Soon we were charging up the spiral again and out to the surface. The light blinded me so much I nearly collapsed. "What was down there?" Carter asked. "Lots of dead people." Walt sighed. I explained one final thing before our way back to Brooklyn house. "Kek is a frog warlock." Carter being the dork he is said "A Murloc? Like from World of Warcraft?" "At least Carter bring good moods." I replied laughing.
