Slam!

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 47954

"Shall we?" Fred asked.

"Well, we're never going to find out anything by just standing here," Astra replied. With a final glance around, the two of them stepped inside the doorway, with Fred clutching his sword tightly and Astra holding a dagger in each hand.

The corridor was not metal, as the outside of the pyramid was. It was stone - and not blocks of it, but apparently a long, smooth, unbroken expanse of stone.

"Amazing," Astra marveled. "I wonder how they built something like this?"

"It's certainly not like any structure I've ever - Astra! The Door!"

The great bronze door behind them was swinging shut. They charged back at it, but arrived just as it closed with a solid sounding slam! . Despite several attempts to pry it open, the door remained solidly shut.

"Now what?" Astra finally asked.

"Now - I guess we keep going," Fred said with a sigh. "And try to find out what's making that glow."

Astra frowned. "It's going to be some kind of trap, you know."

"It already is a trap, Astra. But what other choice do we have? I say we go meet whatever lies here on our terms, not theirs."

Together, Fred and Astra went down the corridor, still armed and at the ready. The corridor was a long one, and traversing it seemed to take hours (though it was hard to say), but they eventually found themselves at the end.

  1. The light emanated from a huge glowing orb of some sort suspended in mid-air in a large chamber..
  2. They found a great glowing pool.
  3. The corridor connected with another that led off at angles. The glow seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere.
  4. They found a pile of diamonds and other gems - along with several ominous looking sarcophagi!
  5. A beautiful woman sat on a gleaming silver throne. She looked serene, but neither moved nor spoke.
  6. A huge golden altar dominated the interior - but the gold was stained with crimson in many places.
  7. They found another door.
