Chapter 41
Broad Staffnight and his entourage trekked through the forest.
“There is no apparent help at the market” says Broad.
“We did get a map to a place where treasure hunters go. It has to be it” says Mark Cumberberry who is really the Satyr in disguise.
They trekked forward for hours before coming across a large structure of stone masonry, brick and mortar, architectural ziggurat, a step pyramid.
“That is it!” Broad’s eyes gleamed.
“Thank God. I am so beat” says Elizabeth.
“Now what do we do?” asks Chief Hightower. “What is that?”
“It’s a temple, Chief Hightower,” explained Broad, “built by the ancient Mayans over five thousand years ago.” They walk past the trees surrounding the temple and around to the entrance and up a few dozen steps.
“Great, more walking” says Elizabeth.
“If we find what we are looking for, there will be no more walking.” Broad grimaced. “Let’s get a move on.”
