Here Come The Elephants

Delliria yelped as she dove behind a couple of boulders. The tornado ripped past her, plowing through the spot she had been at moments ago. This had been the fourth one to almost get her. She shivered but steeled her resolve. She was already this far into Gozanta’s cave, she wasn’t about to quit. She was going to get those sapphires!

Delliria ran from behind the rocks, further into the damp blackness. She didn’t need to see though, she had memorized the entire cave layout when she was only twelve. She had been training for this moment her whole life.

Finally, she made it to the inner chamber. A colossal room with all of Gozanta’s finest captures. The sapphires were all the way in the back. Delliria sprinted for the prize. Suddenly, a man stepped out of the shadows, chuckling.

“Gozanta.” She hissed at him, tensing.

“Trying again, Delliria?” He smiled.

Before she could say a word, the ground began to tremor and shake.

“The elephants are coming for you.” He grinned and melted back into the shadows.
