The Monk's Parting Words
(Hydra Star System- Floren Sector)
(Planet Corpeola- Capitol City Underground Sewers)
"What is going on here?"
Sophie's question echoed through the dark tunnels as the monk clasped his hands together and began to mutter some words under his breath.
The snake tattoos on his forehead began to wriggle and squirm as if they were somehow coming to life.
A golden glow illuminated the monk's hands as he bowed his head and continued to chant words in a language that Sophie did not understand.
Finally, after a few minutes he stopped moving and opened his eyes. The monk smiled warmly at Sophie but there was a hidden emotion in his gaze.
"My child… this is a very dangerous place," the mysterious monk gently spoke.
"I have been sent by my order to investigate the activities of a very dangerous criminal who has made this underground complex his home."
