The first thing that struck me was the smell. I covered my nose. Jesus Christ, the metallic smell of blood and something rotting was pungent from outside of the ziggurat.
I leaned back my head as the golden ziggurat gleamed. I jumped as i felt a hand slightly push me from behind. I turned to look at a smirking Maldonius. I waved my clenched fist. Wait till I finish these trials, you won't be smirking no more bitch.
"My dear, is there something that's preventing you from going inside? Don't tell me that a pirate such as yourself is terrified from blood and death? Ha! How sad."
I sighed as I calmed myself.
"I'm sorry fire-breath, but death isn't really my choice of meal. For someone who's known in folktales to be quite honorable you're quite petty and annoying in real life."
I heard Maldonius inhale sharply in anger. A tree next to me fell to the ground as its leaves burned. I chuckled and turned back to see an angry Maldonius.
Oh?
Even someone as annoying as him has a weakness?
