Chapter 40 - Chapter 39: The Ancient Ones

I saw a great temple in the distance, its walls towering high into the air. The Queen saw it too, and she smiled.

We have arrived, she said. The ancient ones are inside.

I nodded, my heart filled with excitement. We had finally made it.

We walked towards the temple, our footsteps echoing off the walls. As we approached, the doors slowly opened, revealing a dimly lit interior.

The Queen took my hand, and we stepped inside. The doors closed behind us, and we were plunged into darkness.

But then, a light appeared. It was soft at first, but it grew brighter and brighter until we were standing in a room filled with light.

And then, I saw them. The ancient ones. They were tall and powerful, their faces filled with wisdom.

Welcome, God of Death, they said in unison. We have been waiting for you.

I bowed my head, feeling a sense of awe. I am here to help the Queen save the world, I said.

The ancient ones nodded. We know, they said. And we will help you. But first, you must prove yourself worthy.

I looked at the Queen, and she nodded. I am ready, I said.

The ancient ones smiled. Then let us begin, they said.

And with that, they raised their hands, and I was surrounded by a bright light.
