Chapter 10

From the Heavens and Hells you gaze upon the potent figure of a crimson
and gold wrapped dark-elf.

Glaring into his soul you reach within and instantly find yourself in the
midst of a devouring darkness.

From the far end of the chamber, an Altar gleams within the radiance
of an indeterminable light source.

With the passing of each step the Altar grows closer. And what was once
a gentle buzzing has intensified into a menacing hum.

As the light bathes you in its radiance, the darkness dissipates granting
revelation to the surrounding combs of pure gold.

With a final step the Altar bursts into a swarm of golden hornets that
quickly coalesce and solidify into a statue of two larger specimen baring
forth a book of Divine origin.

Created by what could only be Divine Providence, a statue depicting two
enormous hornets casts a haunting darkness upon you.

Rising high above the height of any Titan, its golden structure reflects
motes of light, granting an unholy illumination to the surrounding chamber.

Immaculately designed to perfect scale and proportion, the intricate
detailing creates an almost life-like visage.

The radiance rapidly dissipates as it comes into contact with the smooth,
polished surface, causing whisps of shadow to creep over the golden Altar.

Symmetric in every aspect, the two hornets face eachother with reflective
mirror likeness. From the arced abdomen that burnishes a glinting sharp
stinger between its antennae, to the positioning of the rear legs on the
combed floor.

A loud gong rings throughout the chamber and the ,once inanimate, hornets
begin to slowly, in unison, turn insectile heads down toward you.

Mandibles displayed wide open challenge your place as shining eyes of an
unholy nature seemingly glare into your soul.

Lowered on jointed forearms, a tome formed of solid ruby facings bound
with a golden lining rests on clawed talons.

Cut with great precision, the front facing bares an inscription of both
title and name.

Calligraphed in a golden substance, the title 'The Memoirs of An Immortal'
and 'Lived by Khrathtyn Din'sarthalas' has been carved into the surface.
