Chereads / Chosen of the Stormlord / Chapter 16 - Tomb

Chapter 16 - Tomb

After the harrowing encounter with the carnivorous plant, Raven was in desperate need of a rest. So when he stumbled upon a small lake with a waterfall, he knew that it was the perfect place to take a break.

He walked to the edge of the lake, marveling at the crystal clear water and the lush, green vegetation that surrounded it. He couldn't resist the temptation to dive in, and he stripped off his clothes and plunged into the water.

As he swam through the lake, he was struck by the wonder of the underwater world. The water was so clear that he could see every detail of the strange, exotic fish that swam around him. They were a riot of colors, with shimmering scales and flowing fins that seemed to glow in the sunlight.

He also saw a variety of underwater plants, each one more strange and beautiful than the last. There were delicate fronds that waved in the current and vibrant flowers that seemed to glow with an otherworldly light.

Raven knew he needed to find a place to camp for the night, and he set about gathering materials for a small shelter. Using branches and vines, he created a makeshift roof that would protect him from the elements.

Once his shelter was built, he set out to find some food. He had brought some supplies with him, but he knew that they wouldn't last forever. He needed to supplement his diet with some fresh, local produce.

He walked to the edge of the lake and began to fish, using a crude spear that he had fashioned from a stick and a sharpened stone. It wasn't long before he had caught a few decent-sized fish, and he set about cooking them over a small fire.

As Raven sat by the fire, he couldn't help but think about the battles he had faced in the misty fields and the ancient jungle. He had fought off tempest ghosts, spirits made of storms that had chased him through the mist, throwing lightning and hailstones at him as they tried to capture him.

He had also faced off against a giant carnivorous plant, and he had killed a fierce jaguar. But those were just the recent ones. He had battled fierce storm hounds, creatures seemingly birthed by the storm itself, that had tried to rip him apart. And he had encountered a group of assassins, skilled killers who had been hired to hunt him down.

By using his cunning, his abilities, and the sacrifice of others, he had overcome all of these threats, outwitting his adversaries and triumphing. But as he sat by the fire, he couldn't shake the feeling that there was something wrong with him. He had tasted the thrill of battle, and he found himself yearning for more.

He was worried that he might be enjoying the killing too much, that he was becoming something less than human. He was a warrior now, but he didn't know if he could control his thirst for battle.

Raven had just climbed a tall tree with difficulty, using every ounce of strength and determination that he had. He was exhausted and in pain, but he refused to give up.

As he reached the top of the tree, he saw something that made his heart skip a beat. In the distance, he saw a mountain range that seemed to stretch on forever. It was a breathtaking, epic landscape that seemed to call to him, urging him to come closer.

Without hesitation, he knew that he had to see it for himself. He set out towards the mountains, despite the pain in his right leg. The path was steep and treacherous, and the weather was turning against him. Rain started to pour down, and the winds picked up speed. But Raven refused to give up. He gritted his teeth and slowly made his way up the mountain, each step a struggle against the pain, and soon he heard the calls of storm hounds and saw them, further down the mountain, lurking in the shadows. He soon heard storm hounds' calls and saw them lurking in the shadows further down the mountain.

As he neared the top, he saw a giant structure that looked like a tomb. It was a strange, ancient place, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding as he approached it.

But he had no choice. The howls of the storm hounds echoed through the mountains, and the weather was getting worse by the minute. He knew that he had to seek shelter, and the tomb was the only place that offered any kind of protection.

As Raven approached the giant tomb, he was struck by its enormity. It was a massive structure that seemed to stretch on forever, with strange texts and symbols carved into its ancient stone walls.

There were also a series of statues that lined the path to the entrance, each one depicting a giant knight kneeling before the tomb. They were fierce and imposing, with swords and shields at their sides, and they seemed to be guarding the tomb from any who might dare to enter.

He was struck by the sight of a single, giant knight who knelt before it. The knight was frozen in time, with a fierce expression on his face and a sword and shield at his side.

He was an imposing figure, and Raven couldn't help but feel a sense of awe as he approached him. He walked around the knight, taking care not to disturb him. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was something special about this place, and he knew that he had to be respectful.

The knight seemed to pay his respects to whoever lay inside.

Riddarinn Vyhbus, riddaraguðinn, stendur hljóðlega vakandi og bíður eftir að húsbóndi hans Susanoo vakni.

Raven could only write down the inscription, as he had no idea what it could mean.

As Raven entered the tomb, he was struck by the majestic reliefs that adorned the walls. They showed a knight being gifted an entire kingdom, with a giant palace and endless fields and vineyards. The one who gifted him seemed to hold the storms at bay, protecting the kingdom from their wrath.

The knight was seen ruling over the kingdom with his wife, who seemed to magically grow all the plants. She was a beautiful and powerful figure, with a regal bearing and a sense of magic about her. Raven couldn't help but be mesmerized by the reliefs.

But as he continued to explore the tomb, he had to stay focused. The doors had closed behind him, and he knew that he was trapped inside. He had to find a way out, and he had to be careful.
