It was way too long. Jake's survival instinct had started to roar louder and louder as they went deeper into the catacombs under the Temple and he could sense that something horrible was about to happen.
Once Jake was inside, four of the Silver Templars entered behind him, and then a BANG sounded behind him that startled them. The latch locking the metal door on the other side had been lowered again. They were trapped.
Turning his attention to the room he was in, Jake saw nothing more than strange dark metal tanks standing in the middle of the room without any ostentation. These tanks simply looked like big vats about two meters wide and reaching chest height. A kind of lid made of the same material prevented them from distinguishing what was hidden inside.
This chapter closes this Ordeal. There will be one or two chapters of Interlude to close the volume before starting the next volume.
You can take the opportunity to leave in the comments once again what you thought of this first Ordeal in general, if the length was convenient for you and what you expect from the next ones.
If you want a Side Chapter with the point of view of a particular character don't hesitate to say so in the comments. :)
