MAKOTO KOBAYASHI

The stairs so long concealed in the lair above lead down, deep into the earth. The stale air and utter silence of the place are disturbed only by the torches burning on either side, lighting your way to a large stone door. A small socket lies waiting for its key, the golden staff hidden away in the dilapidated passage above. An instrument of the last warden of this pale mausoleum, and the terrible power imprisoned within, both long forgotten. However one manages to breach the door, silent stone sentries stand guard over six sarcophagi. The seventh, and most terrible, depicts a shrouded figure carved in stone, the lid chained to the stone floor. But are the chains to keep robbers from getting in, or to keep what's inside from getting out?
