Seven Ancient Wonders
“The images of West’s dreams: West running desperately down an ancient stone passageway with Wizard at his side, toward the sounds of booming drums, chanting and a woman’s terrified screams.
It’s hot.
Hot as Hell.
And since it’s inside a volcano, it even looks like Hell.
It is just the two of them—plus Horus, of course. The team does not even exist at this time.
Their clothes are covered in mud and tar—they’ve survived a long and arduous path to get here. West wears his fireman’s helmet and thic...k-soled army boots. Ten years younger, at age 27 he is more idealistic but no less intense. His eyes are narrow, focused. And his left arm is his own.
Boom-boom-boom! go the drums.
The chanting increases.
The woman’s screams cut the air.
‘We must hurry!’ Wizard urges. ‘They’ve started the ritual!’ They pass through several booby-trapped passageways—each of which West neutralises.
Ten disease-carrying molossid bats burst forth from a dark ceiling recess, fangs bared—only to have Horus launch herself off West’s shoulder and plunge into their midst, talons raised.MoreLess
