Castaway Firecrest Part 2

   Twelve years later, Damon walked over to the lamplight. A second later, three men in coats walked up to him.One of them signaled to him. One of the men opened a door. The door itself was strange with its red fish handles.A blast of wind hit them as they stepped in.

 Damon pointed straight ahead with two fingers. He angled his head to the left corridor. He then walked along the corridor. The man following him was in a blue coat with a fedora on his bald head.The sound of  glass breaking broke the silence.The man looked up and then down. The sound seemed to come from everywhere.

 Damon crouched to the ground and tapped it. A hollow sound came out from the ground. Damon then moved a step back as the man lifted his right hand in a clockwise manner followed by a downwards motion.Green rays of light came out from his hand like a snake striking its prey.

 The ground shook as it ripped open to reveal a dark tunnel. Damon jumped in without a moments hesitation.The bald man stood still for a moment but a single glance from Damon's green eyes made him jump down. They then walked along the tunnel until it became black like charcoal. Damon lit up  a lantern that seemed to appear in his hands from nowhere.

 Damon wrinkled his nose as the air became thick and hot. To a man of his training, these were the signs of danger.He took each step with deliberate precision. But much to his annoyance, the noise that would accompany a heard of stampeding animals resonated throughout the tunnel. It left him on the ground covering his ears in pain.It went on for a long time that left them at the mercy of anything or anyone.

 Damon's lips moved for a few minutes at the same speed as a good rapper. He slowly got up and let go of his ears. The sound was muffled to him now but it was still terrible. It told him of how much danger was ahead especially with the air becoming hotter and worse,thicker.

 Light began to flood the tunnel in front of him.He ran to the light.A brown thing jumped out from the side of the tunnel ahead into the light.He heard cries from the other two men.That brown thing somehow managed to scare two capable members. Damon's felt his heart beat faster as he reached the end of the tunnel.

 It was a cavern with a walls covered in tiles of brown and maroon circles in the middle. The brown thing was a golem.Damon could see that clearly now but it left him with his eyes opened and his mouth more so.
