They climbed the giant steps up to the temple cautiously with their weapons drawn, peering forward into the darkness beyond the massive doorway.
It loomed before them like a black maw, almost like it was the doorway to the abyss. The fact that they were heading towards it, and not away, wasn't lost on the crew members. They looked every bit as fearful and hesitant as they rightly should, but it was their captain's confidence, and that Finn, and Althea, that gave them the will to keep following.
They reached the top, and without stopping, Vara stepped through the doorway first, with Slick Jones by her side, and Finn, Althea and the Blessed, close behind. The others also followed in a tight cluster.
It wasn't like Finn had no fear. But for some reason, this temple didn't strike him with the level of terror it should have because he had experienced something very similar back in his world.
The temple of Egon Callahan.
