I pressed on into the dark cavern that's stench echoed loudly of the uncleanliness of its occupants. I called out while dragging my blade down the wall of rock, "Rocks, were you formed by the Master of all glory to house darkness? No! So why then the sheltering of darkness when the light of the Almighty pierces to the innermost depths of this world and sees all?"
As if on command the rocks overhead split apart, but not a rock fell as light pierced down from above and lit the way before us. The tunnel ended as it opened up into a great cavern, the top of which peeled away with a rumble of stone.
The entire one side of the cavern was formed into a stockade made out of the bones of past victims of monstrous appetites. At the sight of me at the opening of the cavern and of the piercing daylight overhead I watched those Gargons not yet slain by me and my companions head as one for the stockade and I knew that they intended to kill as many of the children as possible.
In the hierarchy of evil, if victory can't be obtained then the order of the day is to attain as much destruction as possible. Seething rage overtook me and I reached out with the hand with which I had clung onto Urtholan and said, "Hold where you are in the name of El Elyon and proceed no further!"
As one the Gargons fell to their knees and grabbed at their bullish throats in response for the severe need of air. Wheezed roars of fright erupted from their clamped throats, as I felt the Spirit of Ruach, that was heavy upon me, clamp off the ability of these monsters to perform any more evil than they had already done.
The Gargons fell to their faces dead and the bones holding the children back dissolved into nothing. Susori ran past me, screaming out in her native tongue, and the children came to her as if she was a mother to them all.
She grabbed up the littlest of them as the older children helped to carry the other young children. They streamed out around me in the direction of freedom, each of them seeking to outdistance the other in their hurry to exodus the cave.
The last child ran past me and the cavern before me, filled with the fallen forms of strangled monsters, erupted in fire as the floor cracked up and vomited forth magma into the room. I made my way after the children and as I walked rocks fell and the tunnel was filled.
