Thorgan had abandoned his armor before venturing inland. It was good that he had, for he was sweating and knew the leather would have been rubbing him raw. The jungle had a beauty to it, as did other forests he had been in. There were flowers of kinds he had never seen before, and probably would fetch a high price if they could be brought back. The monkeys followed them through the trees, watching them and chattering away. But suddenly they went quiet and seemed to scattered. Ellyah immediately stopped them and his eyes scanned the jungle on both sides. Up ahead some hundred feet or so from them, a creature emerged from the forest. It was twenty feet long, stood as high as a horses shoulders, had six legs and was covered in what looked to be soft black fur. It had a viper shaped head with cat like ears. Its mouth was filled with sharp serated teeth. It slowly emerged, hunched down as if it was hunting something. It stopped as it sensed the group and its yellow eyes fixed on them for a moment, before it turned back to where it had been going and moved to the other side of the road and back into the jungle. It was a magnificent beast, and Thorgan knew it could have probably torn them all to pieces. A short time later there was a roar and then the scream of some animal. The scream did not last long and again it was quiet.<br/><br/>"That was what the natives call a Black Sleen. It is of the cat family but as you can see very huge. The natives about say that long ago the Gods here rode them as mounts." Ellyah told them. "Lets proceed, but with great caution. Again they began to move and when they passed the spot where the large Sleen had went, everyone seemed to keep an eye on that spot as they moved on.<br/><br/>A couple hours later, they came upon a great wall that stood over a hundred feet high and made of huge stones that seemed to fit together perfectly. One could hardly tell where one ended and the next began, one could not even put a piece of paper between them. Also before them was an enormous gate made of iron. It looked as if it had just been put there the day before. There was no rust or hint that the moist air had any effect on it. "This is Kar Dur. That is what the natives here call it. The home of the Gods. But to you and I, the Ancient Ones. I see that the two small ones and you lassie..." he nodded to Allassiel, "Have weapons that bear the markings of them. You must have found a tomb or something of one of them." he grinned.<br/><br/>He reached for the great gate and with a single hand moved it so they could enter. The great weight seemed to be nothing to Ellyah. Thorgan reached out and he too could move it with ease. Ellyah laughed, and continued talking. "They were a people that could create wonderous things. Wait till you see the city itself." They entered the city, and all around them were tall graceful looking cylinder buildings with walkways high above the ground going from one to another. Each was made of different soft colored stones that had a very pleasing look. The streets were wide and paved, and there was no sign of the jungle even trying to take over anything within the walls. Thorgan had never seen anything like it.<br/><br/>"This is were I brought him. He said he wanted to come here. How he knew of its existance, I don't know, for even I did not know of this land or city before he directed me here. This is where I left him. That of course was after the War of the Undead. He never said why he wanted to come here either, but that we should leave. He paid well and I am a man that completes a deal and moves on to the next. My crew and I met some of the natives here and made a truce of sorts. We traded some goods and got to see some more of the land here and the wild life. Came back a few times with trade goods which the natives really liked. But we live a lot longer then those we met and those after were not as welcoming."<br/><br/>Ellyah ordered his men to make a camp in one of the lower chambers of one of the tall towers. We will rest here tonight and me crew and I will wait here for ye to go and see if you can find his remains and what you came here seeking. "
