What happened inside the pyramid?
Bo Jing remembers it this way . . .
I Bo Jing was on the ship seeking adventure and new trade routes that would benefit my family. I found many adventures, but as we reached Maztica, I wondered what new goods I would find. .But I really wanted adventure.
Inside the pyramid, I had many adventures.
There was a huge boulder that turned out to be a giant crab. I leaped on top of it, drawing my fiery sword and with a great shout and a mighty blow, cleaved its shell in half and killed the monster.
Approaching another room, we heard singing. We put wax in our ears to thwart any magical charm. There was a woman swimming in a pool. I did my best to ignore her, telling myself she was an ugly siren, like a tadpole without a tail. I knew that she wasn't really beautiful but just looked that way because of magic.
In another part of the pyramid, Bayan and I got trapped behind iron bars that fell from the ceiling. My friends noticed a painting of a sun and Shoji pressed it. The bars opened and a secret passage was revealed behind the sun.
In that hall, there were four animal heads, one an eagle with a shiny thing in its beak. When Kafka tried to get the shiny thing, the eagle's mouth shut and hurt him. Bayan unlocked the eagle's mouth with a tickle on the chin.
Continuing to explore the pyramid, we were alarmed when suddenly two iron doors slammed in front of us and behind us and sand began filling up the little space we had. Singh got his axe and kept battering the door then he gave me the axe and I screamed my battle cry and smashed it down.
We came upon a room filled with giant beetles. Bangqiu was a coward. He floated up to scare the beetles and climb the mountain of trash and then he grabbed a shiny knife from inside the stinking pile of beetle excrement.
After the ball game (a tale for another day) my cowardly friend Bangqiu called out for help from Sardan. We got out of a hole in the roof that sardan made.
