Path of Darkness

 didn't feel good about this. Samuel had tricked him in this. But why? He could have killed Jon if he wanted to.Then why send him to a death trap.It made little sense, unless he couldn't kill a champion.That's it. Samuel couldn't kill him, so he sent him to die here. What a crafty bastrard.Another grumbling sound came, followed by a thumping sound. Something large moved behind the wall in front. Something enormous, and could shake the ground with a step. What the hell moved in there? A slight tremor passed through Jon's legs as he thought about various big animals that could be in there.

God, please let it not be a snake. Another big growl, and this time a huge fire illuminated the small portion of the cave. Jon's knees lose the vigor, and he dropped on the ground. There was a fire dragon inside there. F-ing crazy! Why was a dragon living inside the mountain? That bastard Samuel, he said there's just a monster
