The temple of Thoth wasn't as exclusive as I wanted it to be, when we arrived the holy ground was on the verge of being attacked. I did find it odd that our trip to the temple wasn't as dangerous as I expected it to be, pleasureable if anything. To my surprise, half the acolytes that gathered around the temple of knowledge were now lying face down in the red sands and the ones slaying the innocent lives were the ones that vowed to protect the creation of gods. I don't recognize this world anymore, those who are meant to be the defender of light and justice are now attacking those who are simply looking for sanctuary?
My orders were clear to my team: Save those who can be save and slay the angels who stand there with false faith. Upon entering the temple with Chance, I witnessed a battle of two warriors. One who is stealthy and darkened tricks and another with a burning sword, bright white wings and reflexes of an experienced knight. I rushed in further, wanting to capture the angel but carelessly stepped onto a panel that triggered the temple traps. Before I knew it, the earth that was once under my feet had shattered and lead me into the abyss of a long dark pit. As I fall hard onto my back, pain shooting through my body as I laid there trying to catch my breathe; my ears perked to the sound of something crawling in the sands. Before I could get up, I suddenly felt a sharp pain piercing through my forearm. Another piercing in the back in my neck and another on my ankle. All of which, so painful that my muscles began to tense from reaction! I could only throw off the insect before reaching into my pocket for my lighter. With the lighter tight in my palm, I clapped together releasing a ring of fire around my body to reveal the pit filled with scorpions! It was through the jets of fire swirling that I realized, I may be dead in just a few seconds...
