Subject: Deep Within the Mountain

The sigel glowed,
I could feel its spell
even sheltered as I was
behind the the griffen's back.
I heard Jax squeal as
the spell clutched at him,
but, he faltered not
surging ever forward,
but, I could smell
burning feathers, burning flesh.
and, thinking of the journey
yet before, I lit a torch
from roots upon the ground.
Safely pass the arcane sign,
I slipped ahead
and drew from my bag
the healing unguents,
and imploring Jax
to halt, I soothed
his hurts with cooling balm.
Rest, he would not,
but, plowed ahead deeper
and deeper into that
darksome mount.
At long last
we came to a cavern
ringed and crossed by
wondrous pillars that
gleamed with phospherescent
light.
And, in the midst of that
death light glow,
on a carved stone dais,
sat the head of
the dragon Tricanorth.
Upright it sat
with eyes that seemed
to watch and follow
our advance.
Three circles ringed
the head,
three circles
of runic power.
The first circle
sent nightmare visions
to thwart our steps,
the second chilled
the soul with icy dread,
and as we stepped through
the third
a phantom warrior stood
armed with steel and mace.
A battle then!
And, Jax wounded sore!
