The Overly Cryptic Ultimate Plot

================================

              THE HAPPENING

Down and down I plunged, through Rocky Glades, Steep Ravines and

Shady Hollows ... No grip, no footholds, slipping, tumbling,

spinning, darker and darker, deeper and deeper.

Glinting eyes, clutching hands, clasping claws, clawing my all,

as I swiftly twist and tumble onwards.

Darker and darker, deeper and deeper. It is the end that I fear,

of this untroden voyage ... to where I do not know ... AARRRGGGG

... THUDDD ...

Fall and end meet on soft mossy soil ... with weapons drawn and

senses full I move quickly and quietly around the mounded clearing

... All safe except a message ... An ancient warning etched deep

into the lifeless stone.

              THE WARNING

THY PATH IS LONG SO TREAD WITH CARE

BEWARE THE WULF AND PASS HIS LAIR

DANGER THREATENS ALL AROUND

SO TAKE YE FROM THIS HIDDEN MOUND

TO FREE THEE FROM THIS SUNKEN GATE

BY WAY OF CAVE OR MEET THY FATE

AN AMULET TO SEEK THY WILL

'TWAS SPLIT BY QUAD AND HIDDEN STILL

PASS THE KEEPER WROUGHT WITH HATE

TO GAIN AN ENTRANCE TO THE GATE

THE PIECES LOST MUST THEE AMAS

FOR IF NO CHARM THEN NON SHALL PASS

              THE EXPLORATION

I edge through the shady mounded clearing and on through the

dense thickets of hot house rain forest undergrowth, of sorts I

cannot tell, and wait...and listen...Distant rumblings of heavy

feet crashing, large animals leap from the damp green stubble,

to  fight and kill.

I stay hidden ... The rumblings grow louder and louder, as a huge

Goliath animal crashes past, horns swiping and tail lashing,

still I hide as its thunderous noise dies away.

All was clear as I leapt over the clumps and onto the well

trodden pathway, its deep ruts and prints reveal the multitude

of life forms inhabiting this hollow.  Danger threatens so I

should move quickly ... But Where???

              THE EXPEDITION

Wide eyed, I stare, as the dense surroundings reveal their hidden

secrets ... Strange food orchids suddenly bloom, their staining

toxins, strong on the air, then, in an instant, are gone.

Hunters, killers, vampire bats and huge beasts spring forth from

the very ground, swimming, slithering, diving and crawling ... I

must hide ... Stay safe ... With weapon strong and cunning nature,

I will survive ...
