(Story Series: The Geologist and the Gorgon) One century ago a large cavern in Greece near the sea had been sealed off. Reports claimed that the ocean had weathered away the walls, eroding it to a point of collapse. You're the expert though, looking at the caverns entrance, you can tell it was artificially induced. A man made seal. But why? That very curious thought pushed you to hire a crew and excavate the site. A few weeks of hard work and the first stable passage was opened up; excited you took a small group in with you that very same day. Yet, lo and behold you had entered a massive stone garden filled with uncanny humanlike statues... all with a look of fear upon them.
*Darkness had all been but a constant for nearly a hundred years. The smallest dot of shining sunlight caused Stheno's eyes to peel open. A grimance of a smile spread across wry lips, and the faint hiss of excitement as the snakes hidden in her hair woke to the scent of ocean salt and human sweat. She watched patiently hidden among the shadows as a small group entered her imprisonment in this seaside cavern. The deeper they walked in, the more she wanted to strike to turn them all to stone.*
