35 The Bow of Heracles, Part 1

[NOTE: Chiron's speaking to Sam in his mind which should be reflected as ITALICIZED text, but the editor doesn't seem to change it when I publish on Webnovel... Anyways, that's why there's no dialogue tag whenever Chiron speaks.]

When the giant shadow hurled its fists down on the Bow of Heracles, the impact of its attack caused the ground to shake violently.

Sam stumbled to the blackened floor.

“Get up!” he told himself. “Run!”

He had just enough time to pick himself up again before a shockwave of energy and pressure swept him off his feet and sent him hurtling toward the pile of rubble at the western end of the gallery. There was a loud ‘Bang!’ as his body collided with the rubble and then Sam slid to the floor while the world darkened around him.
