TAKE X (6-5-17: The End)

> Examine the monument.



You examine the monument. There are claw marks all over it - alarmingly big ones. Well, hopefully you won't be here long enough to find out whatever monster left them.

> Place the stones.



You place the stones. When you set the glowing one down, it casts a beam of light out into the jungle, part of which is blocked by the black one.



You hurriedly switch the stones.



The light and shadow hit the door. It looks like...



Yes! They make a hole in the stone! It's just big enough for you to climb through.



That was less fuss than you expected.







It's... Indivar. Blue Indivar. You know all about him, but thankfully you'd managed to evade his notice for the most part. Up until now, anyway.

"Hey, what's the rush, y'know?" he says with a grin on his face.

You brush yourself off. "You're here to get in my way, then, Blue-boy?" you ask, fixing him with the fiercest glower you can muster.

Indivar doesn't seem perturbed. "Nah, you got the wrong idea. I'm not supposed to get in your way. I'm supposed to kill you."

"Why? Just because the One Goddess told you to?"

"Yeah, that's about the long and short of it."

You cross your arms. "So that's it, then. She just sends her lapdog after me. She can't even do the job herself."

Indivar scowls. "Look, I may not--"



You hear a familiar voice cut in. "Hey, can it, Travler," it says. "I've got a lot on my plate right now. So just shut up and die already. And Blue?"

"Wait!" Indivar's eyes widen. "No, please, don't--"

"Have a little pick-me-up. You can thank me later."





Well. Here goes nothing.
