Eclipse of divinity

The Serpents Lair

As we four stepped through the portal, the whirling force transported us to a different land that was engulfed by lush, vibrant greenery. I thought maybe this time we landed in the Amazon Forest. The air was thick with humidity, and the sounds of exotic wildlife echoed in every corner, adding to the sense of mystique and danger that we might be confronting soon.

"Where have we landed this time?" Alex asked as he looked around the lush green forest thriving with life.

"I believe we are in the Amazon rainforest," I replied as I keenly inspected the area.

"Amazon, what are we going to do here?" Jordan asked inquisitively.

"I know why the portal took us here..." I replied and paused while I tried to peek through the forest for a sign that would confirm my next movie.

Layla asked, "For what, Parker?"

"We are here for the serpent god. We must find the Quetzalcoatl relic because I had dreamed about it almost a year ago," I told them and looked for any sign of the Mayan architecture nearby that would help me find the thing I needed on this journey.

"The Quetzalcoatl relic, but what for?" Jordan asked, and they all had confused looks on their faces.

"Well, I do not know as of yet, but we will find that out soon," I told them as I tried to contemplate the reason behind the serpent God's purpose on this journey.

We moved forward into the unknown. We knew that we had now entered a realm filled with peril, for the Amazon rainforest was home to creatures both wondrous and terrifying, many of which were unknown to us, and we didn't know exactly in which century we were in and what creatures could be hiding behind the gigantic trees. Yet, we pressed forward, driven by our quest to find the relic of Quetzalcoatl, knowing that it might be heavily guarded by unknown creatures.

As we ventured deeper into the heart of the Amazon rainforest, our eyes keen for any sign of ancient Mayan architecture, we suddenly found ourselves surrounded by the gigantic step pyramids in the middle of the forest. The jungle canopy gave way to somewhat crumbling stone structures adorned with intricate carvings and symbols, a testament to the glory of the ancient Mayan people.

"Woah, look at this place. I'm seeing these giant Mayan pyramids for the first time in my life," Alex contended, looking at the majestic structures of the ancient civilization.

An eerie silence surrounded the atmosphere near the ancient architecture. And I could sense the danger that surrounded the place. As we marched through the dense wilderness that engulfed the stone structures, the aura of the place radiated a powerful energy that was constantly clashing with my powers, and I could feel the strain on my body.

"I can feel the serpent's energy. It's clashing with mine," I told them as they looked at the inflated veins on my hands. "We should be ready for an attack anytime soon. Be vigilant." I then started to prepare their weapons in case of an imminent attack by otherworldly creatures.

Aminal sounds echoed in the distance as we watched attentively for the attack that was likely to occur because we had trespassed into the territory of the serpent god of the ancient Mayans. I could hear the sounds of jaguars and whispers of ancient spirits in the nearby trees.

"I can hear the spirits that don't seem much jubilant at our arrival," I said and took out small daggers that could pierce the creatures at a distance.

I was able to see shadows of the creatures guarding the ancient temple, but they hadn't fully revealed themselves to us. I quickly realized that the ancient structures were heavily guarded by mythical creatures under the command of the serpent god.
