What I see I see a corpse, possibly embalmed and wrapped in a burial shroud, lying with one side to the ground. From the dirt and stains, one could tell it has laid there for quite some time.
How I feel I feel sober and a kind of dazed too. The mere sight of this tells me there is something ominous about that corpse lying there.
The expedition arrived at the ancient cave of Za just as the crimson Sun was touching the edge of the sea. They immediately set about arranging their camp for the night. The environment was surprisingly warm for that period of the day and the air was fresh even at that temperature. They had to hurry up with setting up camp and getting some food down their throat then proceed to get some rest before the night gets far spent. Two hours after sun down, the whole team was gathered around the campfire eating their dinner, it was fairly cold now and in their haste they barely noticed the change. Alvis was staring at the magnificent cave in awe, how such a glorious site has escaped the prying eyes of archaeologists for hundreds of years still baffles him. The cave rose over 500 feet tall at the entrance and it slanted as it went further back away from the mouth. The entire framework was make of hard rock and contrary to the desert nature of the area, there was some growth of green creepers coiling round the mouth like a curtain and shutting the interior from view. But one could see from the breaks in the foliage that it was pitch dark inside. According to the legend popular among the natives, there was no second entry to this cave, it was just one way in, one way out, that is if the one who enters will make it out. Frankly speaking, it was just one way in, and no coming out. Even the twelve servants and the priest who took the mummified body of the Za Princess, Tiktonec to her tomb deep inside the cave, never made it out and it was believed it was their restless spirits that now serve as the guardians of the great tomb to wade off anybody who tries to seek the final resting place of the enchanted Princess and possess her most magical pendant, the Tiktoninia, the most powerful pearl in the world.
"Tomorrow, we will know if this place is entirely a death sentence for mere mortals". Alvis thought aloud.
