Four Knots: Cataclysm

“I, Batman, shall complete these Four Knots!” sang Batman heroically, “What is the first of these knots?”

“The first, Batman, is the Cataclysmic Chamber.” The floor rumbled as a large, ancient stone block slowly slid to reveal a chamber. “You must traverse inside and vanquish whatever lies before you.”

“No matter—”

“No matter what.” The bear king bared his broad teeth in a big grin.

Batman entered the chamber slowly. The chamber was of Egyptian design—Batman could tell from the hieroglyphic symbols decorating it. Deeper he ventured. He was now in the centre of the chamber. A noise. There was a noise coming from above his head. Batman cautiously looked up—Scarecrow!

“Kreeeeeieiiie!!!” A series of piercing cries filled the chamber. Batman could not help but cover his ears in vain hope of suppressing the noise. But alas, the suppression failed and soon the Scarecrows feet entered Batman’s field of vision.

“And how are we tonight, Batboy”

“Professor Jonathan Cr—”

“Tut tut! No hearing any of that!”
