“At last, you arrive” echoed the thunderous voice that seemed to
originate from the body of the temple itself. “You have displayed power,
spirit, strength, and soul in getting this far, but should you wish to
gain access to the hidden knowledge of this great temple, you must now
face the final trial which bears no name. Precious few have reached this
point, and what remains of them is now scattered across the four winds
that rake at this mountain peak. Prepare yourself, adventurer, for the
final trial is me.”
In reflexive response to these resounding
words, the adventurer steeled themselves and braced for the impact that
was sure to follow. But none such occurred, and the only assault on the
adventurer’s defenses was that of unexpected silence that stung at
their nerves. Still on guard, they dwelled deeper within the silence,
peering into its misty recesses. There, obscured by the gusts which
grazed this mountaintop, yes, there was something. The faintest sound of
flesh on stone, moving slowly through the cool mountain air. Yet no
creature lay before them.
Then came the shattering, a sound of
incomprehensible magnitude that shot the adventurer into motion. The
stone courtyard splintered before them, driving jagged shards of stone
like knives beneath the adventurers feet. With a powerful leap the
adventurer shot into the air, remaining suspended in levitation, a
technique they had learned within the previous trial. Below them, the
mountain continued to crumble and the temple fell away, revealing a
magnificent serpentine form in a shower of boulders and stone slabs.
Rising from the body of the mountain itself was a massive dragon, unlike
any the adventurer had heard tell of even within the tales of old, and
upon its head stood a shadowy form, an equal to the aura of the
adventurer’s own light.
“I have kept the knowledge of this
temple for thousands of years” came the voice once more, sharpened by
its exposure to the alpine atmosphere. “I will not have some impudent
fool steal it from me”. The great dragon reared back at its rider's
command, and the adventurer concentrated their energy into a great
spectral claw to match. There, the adventurer understood. Win or lose,
they had gained the knowledge of the temple that they sought. This they
knew in their core as they drew in to prepare a great gout of flame that
would match the great dragons own.
