How far will you go? Pt 3

The three heroes could all feel it.  That sense of being watched.  Despite the fact that the terrain was barren, there was no shaking it.  It put them all on edge, turning to catch the slightest movement at the corner of their eye, be it leaf or bird.

 “We can’t stop here,” Fire said after a minute.  “It’s not safe.”

 Before the other two could respond, dwarves rose seemingly from the ground itself.  They were heavy-set men, with thick woolly beards ranging in all colors, from yellow blonde to coal black.  The men were dressed in thick furs, bronze armor, and all held some form of weapon, be it ax or short bow or hammer.

 Fire turned to flame and rose from the ground, getting the edge on their foes.

Outside Space and Time

The power of the Spectre was still a new thing to the man once known as Ra's al Ghul. His efforts to comprehend the being now bonded to his very soul had met with small progress thus far.

One thing that had become apparent is that the spirit of the Spectre possessed a strong sense of duty - and while that was an aspect he found familiar, it now called him away from his efforts to find a balance with the spirit.

He finds himself walking in a cavern-like passageway - along the wall, seven gruesome statues of seven deadly sins. The spirit's voice within him speaks the name of this timeless place - the 'Rock of Eternity'. It speaks, too, of the current guardian - a boy, 'Billy', inheritor of the powers of the ancient Wizard Shazam.

Some disturbance has called him here - called the Spectre here - and he was compelled to come.

A cry of pain ahead quickens his pace.
