James Thompson; a struggling archeologist trying to discover something that could turn his career around. Though this was proving much more difficult than he had expected. This was it James had found a fragment of text that indicated the location of an ancient temple older than any recorded man made structure.

"Hurry, it just on the other side of this hill." James paused and basked in the beauty of the oasis on the other side of the hill he had just climbed. A huge valley with sprawling gardens, a waterfall crashing into a calm stream steadily flowing though the endless groves of trees and neatly tucked away in the side of a cliff nestled between several bushes, a cave entrance with carvings of snakes up the sides of the walls. 

"My god, this is amazing. It has to be what they were talking about in the text, right?" Replied Patrick, the youngest of James's  team.

"I believe it is, and down there would be the entrance to the underground temple" answered James as he began walking down towards the cave entrance. 

As the small team entered the cave and the light faded behind them more and more as they travelled further into the mysterious depths below, a demonic shriek fled from the deepest reaches of the cave, collapsing the entrance and stopping all light from entering the cave.
