The 9th Immortal: Savior Of The Vedas

Arrow & The Snake

 Sneak Peek...

I woke up surrounded by darkness lay down on a cold hard floor but that is the only thing I can make of it. It was so dark that I can't even see my own hands, no sound nothing I can't even feel the air it was absolute solitude. I look around or try too but there was nothing. I couldn't feel or see anything just a terrible coldness.

"Hello!"

"Hello! Is anyone here?"

There was no echo, my voice was sucked up by the vacuum of darkness.

"This doesn't look good" I swallow. I felt my blood ran cold and throat drying up again. Lately, this is happening quite a lot.

Creak

A door creaked and a beam of orange-red light broke into the empty space. The door was outlining by the strange light behind it the light shimmered on the doors as it opens fully, the light entered the space in full force but there was no reflection like there was no floor or walls as the doors come to light completely then I saw it two serpents were carved into the doors what look like now the metal. They seemed alive and moving the orange light reflect their shape and the eyes were more......creepy, glowing red. They were staring and creeping to my soul, my head spin as I look into them.

I went closer to the door and I felt the heat as I shield my eyes from the light it was shearing to my skin and burning my eyes but there was no other way to get out of that horrible place or I was safe here and the threat was behind the door. It became more and more comfortable as I am starting to feel like I was on fire.

BOOM!

I stumbled back startled by the explosion and then I saw it, the red-orange and hot lava all around beyond that door my eyes widened, I stopped in my tracks at the scene in front of me feeling the terror and the heat, my breath was trapped in my throat and the next thing I knew I bolted, away from the door in absolute darkness with no sense of direction, I just ran and ran until I couldn't feel my legs, my own saliva turn into ash in my mouth but there was no heat or light. I kneel down breathing heavily breaking into a sweat but the relief was starting to settle in my heart but it didn't last long.

Something slippery, sleazy and cool started to crawl on my shoulder, my heart dropped and I froze I didn't even twitch a muscle.
