Welcome back, gang. You get to see what Snarf and the kids discovered and the Hunter makes his debut. For the Hunter I mentally cast Paul Dobson who is well known for voicing such hateful villains as Naraku from Inuyasha. Enjoy.
The Burial Chamber of Saec
Rubies, gold, silver, bronze! All of this was before the eyes of Snarf and the kids. There wasn't a shrouded body but a large sarcophagus. There was nothing naturalistic about this. This burial chamber was grand in appearance!
Balor walked over to the sarcophagus. He heard heard the body had been stolen he just had to know! He opened it not without difficulty with help from Kat he was able to open it. Once it was opened, Kit walked over to look with the two boys but she quickly turned away. Kat swallowed and slowly turned away but Balor was paralyzed by what he saw. He couldn't look away.
A skeleton. A skeleton in armor with a crown upon its head was what was starring up at Balor. Saec's body hadn't been stolen! It was still here! This was the true burial chamber and there was Saec's body. The eye sockets might have been empty but it was frightening for something like that to be starring at children.
The stories Balor had heard were right! Saec was an egotist! Why else would the burial chamber be so grand?
Footsteps then came to their ears. Balor turned his head to look at the figure standing at the entrance of the burial chamber. His eyes widened and at that same moment Snarf hissed at the figure.
The figure was… they weren't sure what he was. A horse? A crocodile? A moose? A camel? A donkey? They had no idea? The figure's head was skull like in appearance and had blank white eyes. His clothing was royal-like in appearance with a cape and a winged helmet! The person was holding a war hammer that must have been their height. His skin was the same grey as Gard and Balor's but besides skin color they were nothing alike.
"Well, well, well. A grey-skin." The Hunter, for that's who he was, laughed. "Evabon like you are so rare that I think I'll have you stuffed and mounted." Balor swallowed and started to back away in fear. The Hunter then looked at Kat and Kit. "And cats, too! Don't worry I'll get to your race eventually!" He then lifted his hammer up. "You three are going to lead me to what is calling me as protection from those savage sentinels out there." The Hunter then walked towards them, his sandaled footsteps echoing through the burial chamber. Kat and Kit backed away, so did the still hissing Snarf.
"We won't lead you to anything!" The Hunter looked down at Balor. An evil grin appeared on his skull-like face as he noticed the open sarcophagus. He brought down his hammer onto the skeleton of Saec.
"Oh, I think you will! Even if you don't know where what is calling me is, I'll still get the satisfaction out of killing an evabon and starting my cat hunt early." The kids all stood shaking in terror. Something that escaped them and the Hunter was one thing. Snarf was missing!
