A rock face in the jungle. Aak fictionspawn

One Answer

-Shut up, man! This is all your fault! If you hadn’t been talking all the fucking time, we would have been back in town with the rest of the group now with beautiful photos of the waterfall.

-So now it’s my fault? You’re the one who… Wait… What’s that?

The two travellers stared in awe. This was far better than any waterfall.

-A monument of a lost civilization. I can’t believe this!

They had been lost in the jungles for days, getting deeper and deeper in the more they tried to get out.

-I think we’ve discovered something totally new man!

The carvings looked like they had been formed by nature itself, but they were too figurative to be a coincidence. Two eyes were staring down on them from above a mouth formed cave entrance.

A monster comes out from a book Aak fictionspawn

Ronad got on his feet, got his sword up from the ground. He stumbled a bit, took another zip of the strong liquor he had in his flask. Leave dis to mee… He mumbled, and went half running down the hill.

The driver lifted his hands. Please! Please don’t…. (more)
