Bu-bump…Bu-bump…Bu-bump… “What the hell is this?” A poorly equipped soldier stood with his gaze transfixed upon a glowing crystal embedded into the side of the caves rocky walls. The crystal shone with an ethereal light, as if it were never meant to be in the mortal world.

  The soldier removed his tattered leather gloves, and kneeled down with his hands outstretched. “I-I’m rich! Hahaha!” He shook with laughter examining his prize. But just as his fingers touched its side; *Bu-bump……… *Huh. His heart stopped. Why? Because reflected upon the transparent surface was a creature that should only exist in nightmares. And it was standing right behind him.

  *Huaahhh! The man shrieked, then fell onto his backside. As he slowly gazed upwards, that same creature gave him a toothy smile; the same one might receive greeting a good friend. “P-p-please don’t kill me,” the man stuttered in terror. But that only lasted a moment, before the creatures’ talons brutally lunged towards his eyes.

  There was one last blood-curdling scream that resounded from the cave. And then all went silent, but if you’d listened carefully. You’d hear an ancient voice echoing in the wind. “Succession failed, still awaiting suitable host.”

  Hello, Hello, my newly acquainted readers. (No-matter how few there may be :(

  I only finished plot mapping this entire story yesterday. And today... well, there was a lot of procrastination. Anyways, this is just a small amount of gasoline to kindle the interest. Short, unexplaining, and leaves you with a feeling of 'Wait, WHERE is the rest?!' Huhuhu-my dear readers, you'll just have to wait and see.
