Rwenzori Mountains, Congo

A tall man wearing a silver-gray cloak and mask concealing all signs of humanity except his eyes walks up to the bottom of an overbearing mountain. At the bottom of the abundant natural wonder, he sees a peculiar carving that's been hidden completely by the growing forest moss. However, the shape of a triangle in the middle of a square is still visible.

The cloaked man reaches down and touches the earthly engraving. It shocks his hand and he quickly jumps back. "Impossible, could it be?"

He reaches in his cloak and retrieves his spell book. It autonomously opens and begins flipping violently as it levitates off his hand and glows in a bright sinister red. A humming sound projects from the pages and drastically increases in volume until it releases a burst of energy that lasers the symbol. Suddenly, the entire mountain lights up from the laser which disrupted the immense seal that was placed on the entire structure. Then without warning, the blinding light show dissipates.

The man apprehensively touches the symbol once more. This time, the carving illuminates in a sharply golden hue. After a moment, the symbol reveals the cellar-like door that it was designed to protect. The two doors open by themselves, revealing a lit staircase descending deeper into the mountain. He closes his magical book and cautiously continues his journey down the corridor. 

When he reaches the end of the staircase, he enters a grand tomb hollowing out the mountain. Floating pillars hovered hundreds of meters above a chained casket. The man in the gray cloak slowly approaches the casket, each step creating a deafening echo. He gently places his hand on the chain-wrapped box. "After half a millennia of searching, I've finally found you... Golden Summoner."
