The Eye of Horus Part III

Berengar stood in the chamber of the next trial. He stared in disbelief at what he was seeing. In the dimly lit corridor was a bridge. However, the middle section was broken, leaving a giant gap between the two sides.

Within this gap was a darkness. However, it was not like the dark miasma which sought to consume him upon entering the tomb, instead; it was filled with starlight. As if the cosmos themselves would devour him should he fail to pass the obstacle.

Berengar gazed upon his surroundings, looking for some way to pass through the gap. However, the more he inspected the bridge, the more he knew it was a physical impossibility for him to jump over the gap. Nor were there any other obstacles or resources for him to utilize so that he reach the other side. 

The voice of Anubis cackled in the distance, as the god of death watched the man attempt to overcome the obstacle.
