A Hero Tale {Complete}

~ Chapter 89 ~

_{Arach-Mon, The Wind Guardian}

Without delay, the strange mechanism sped towards Jenso and Bruce using its many legs to pull itself through the tight corridors with ease.

A Hero Tale {Complete}

As Jenso escaped the room, the sharp metal-like claw pierced the ground, and pulled something into the room. There were 7 more of the long metal like legs, each at least 20 feet in length, and with multiple joints, making them very flexible. They were all connected by a small, perfectly spherical body the glowed with a bright green light. The legs seemed to be attached by small energy streams, allowing them to move freely without issue around the entire spherical pod. Was this some kind of elemental mechanism? Or a monster of natural design? Jenso would recognise this glow, near the center of the spherical body. It was the same as Gol-Ira's, and the golems he had under his command.

This was a Golem!

A Hero Tale {Complete}

Jenso safely retrieved the amulet, but as he did so, the ground shook, and one of the pillars that Bruce had risen came crashing down, snapped in half by a long, sharpened appendage. It jutted forward towards Jenso, aided by a sudden burst of wind that found its way into the sanctum, threatening to pierce Jenso's midsection.

Without any resistance, the stone crumbled and the door was launched off its frame in pieces, into the room behind it. Unfortunately, it seemed that the entirety of the inner sanctum was missing a giant portion of its roof. Winds whipped and howled through the room like a flurry of knives, pulling dirt across its expanse dangerously fast. AT the center of the room, stood a single pedestal with a concave compartment, where a single blue amulet was hanging, strangely unaffected by the wind.

A Hero Tale {Complete}

The temple's entrance was strewn with tapestries, detailing magnificent battles atop the very mountains they were traversing. Pillar-bound stone ceilings overlooked what slowly came together as a story. Each parchment, albeit torn and aged to the point of bare shapes, showed a man harnessing the power of wind itself to fend off a series of threats. Monsters of various shapes and sizes, poachers who looked to rob the temple of its riches, and a titanic figure that stood several stories high over the parchment's hero.

As they made their way deeper into the temple, the parchments ended, and a large door revealed itself as it fell into the range of Jenso's light. Several intricate carvings flowed through the stone like snakes, tying into one another and ending at each other's tails. There was no visible key hole, or device to get through, but the stone seemed frail. The temple of wind was old, after all. Unfortunately, the only way through seemed to be desecration of its beautiful design.

Seems a tad relentlessly ridiculous to be perfectly honest.
