The monster looks out across the horizon, its treasure secure behind it. When you approach the cove where the monster lay, you can smell the rotting and burning flesh that emits from a dark cave. Black clouds hang heavily over the cove. Not a speck of sunshine shone through. Your walk forward and is instantly covered by a thick fog. You can't see five feet in front of you, it was like a misty blanket.
Smoothly the creature moves across the cold, stone floor, a green shine barely visible in the dank light.
Complete silence surrounds the cove as you approach closer. A cold sweat breaks out on your clammy skin as a familiar yet new fear grips you. Your heart speeds up and blood rushes through your ears. The ground is soft and soggy beneath your feet, sinking when you step on it and making a light squish squish sound as it sinks.
Closer, closer you approach. The mouth of the cave looming towards you. Your sword makes a small klink...klink as you walk ever closer to your doom. A scream fills your ears and a heavenly maiden maiden appears in the mouth of the cave. She is drabbed with white robes and had long, silky blond hair flowing over her shoulders. "Help me!" She screams out to you and runs back into the cave. No, forced back in.
You run after her, your footsteps echoing on the stone floor. You are now in a maze of corridors and halls. Torches help you see your way and cast an eerie shadow upon everything the light comes in contact with. You stop, your breathing comes heavy and you look around. You had lost the maiden. Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream echo's down the stone corridor. You run in the direction it comes from and find yourself in a large room. It was decorated with tattered tapestries and broken furniture. Scarred pictures framed the walkway and there was a single light in the center, where the lovely maiden sat there, crying.
You walk to her and drape your arms around her whispering soothingly, "Shh...everything is alright now." What you hear next makes your heart skip a beat. She started laughing. A small giggle if you will, and looked up at you. It was as if her piercing blue eyes paralyzed you. As she stood her skin turned scaly and green and her long blond hair turned to a fiery red.
"Foolish boy..." She mutters as fangs grew where normal teeth had been moments ago. She smiles devilishly and grabs you by your throat, lifting you up. You sputter. She laughs more, her clothes change black and a long robe forms around her. It rustles as her grip tightens. "You shall never get my treasure!" Her grip tightens even more around your neck and you scream, blood dripping down your neck like small red streams.
A last breath and you die, your soul going to the depths of hell.
The creature looks to the center of the room where a mirror sits.
