From the “Weird” Workbench of Zebraoutrider
Risk versus Reward?
Helga Von Dag wiped the sweat off her brow and smiled at her golden reflection in her valuable prize. It had been an arduous quest just finding the temple in the jungle and then negotiating the umpteen traps set by the Master Grimtooth once inside.
But, at last the ‘Skull of Maverix’ was hers, even though it has come at such a high price. She was the last of the eight-strong party sent by the Kaiser and doubt suddenly struck her as she contemplated how she would escape this tomb. However, her thoughts of the need for self reassurance and belief were soon interrupted as a flash of silver emerged at speed from the darkness, accompanied by what sounded like the flapping of large wings…
The dragon-like guardian that had stalked her and her unfortunate companions since they entered the pyramid looked down from its perch on the now decimated hiding place of the golden skull and let out an enormous screech.
Helga’s only clear thought was to run… fast!
