[QUOTE="eris404, post: 2653764, member: 5338"] George lowers his gun and ambles into the chamber. Dante is sighing and shaking his head, never a good sign. The copper bowl, with its fire, attracts George like the proverbial moth to the flame. The pedestal on which it rests is tall, so George has to hop up to grab the ledge and pull himself up. The bowl is quite large, large enough for George to stand inside it. “George!” Serai gasps. “It’s magic,” George explains. He waves his arm through the flames to show that they are quite cool. “See?” He climbs in and finds the bowl is full offerings: some weapons and arms, a whistle made of crystal, some coins, a few small gemstones, and a few vials of liquid: potions George guesses. He glances at the troglodyte to make sure he isn’t watching and fills his pockets before climbing out again. “George!” Serai chides in a sharp whisper. “Get out of there!” Meanwhile, Dante and Jade are examining the statue and have determined that the back of it is not connected to the back wall. “It’s a door,” Dante notes, “but how to open it?” George admires the gemstones in the statue’s eyes glittering in the firelight and wonders if he could climb up and pry them out. The climb would be steep, but he could possibly make it. He walks forward and hears crunching beneath his feet. The floor glitters with splinters of glass. George is suddenly reminded of Master Lykor’s office filled with mirrors that can see into one’s soul. The eyes are the window to the soul, he thinks, remembering the old saying. And then suddenly, George knows how to open the door. He drops his pack and rummages around for his shaving mirror (not much used, to his dismay). He angles the mirror to catch the firelight and reflects it to the eyes of the statue. Which reflect the light back to his mirror. Which in turn reflects the light back to the eyes of the dragon. Over and over, the light reflects and intensifies until with a bright flash the mirror shatters and the shards slash George’s skin on his arms and face. Instinctively, he puts his arms in front of his eyes to protect them. “George!” Serai calls, alarmed. Then softly, she says, “George, look!” He moves his bloody arms away from face and sees. The statue has moved aside, revealing a dark passageway. Disgruntled, Temoruk huffs. “You did it,” Serai says. [/QUOTE]
