Dr. Smith was astounded.He grew pale and a mixture of fear and excitementcrept into his voice. He rushed out of the office,saying that he was keeping a similar piece in themuseum's archives. Father waited a while for hisfriend to come back, to no avail.He was beginning to run out of patience卋uffering...... It came to pass, during the reign of our great king Edward, that afoul demon escaped fromits infernal banishmentand brought forthdevastation to theenglish kingdom. It is said that the creature, born of the Stone Circle, drew its nourishment not from any Earthly source, but from the alignment of the stars. Soon, a holy army of knights and noblemen arose from all parts of the land. After a glorious campaign, an end was brought to the pain and the despair, for the great monster was slain and its foul carcass given to the Monks of St. George to be burnt and its ashes scattered. But the beast's despoiled body did not burn, nor did its demonic heart stop beating within its cadaverous chest. After much deliberation, the monks carved the monster into Five parts, severing the head and the hands and the heart at the Old Sarum monastery, and buried the blasphemous relics under great warding glyphs in the remotest parts of the Kingdom. For it is said that if the Five should ever be brought back together at the Stone Circle, when the stars align again at the End of Time, a dark soul will resurrect the creature and seal the Doom of the World.W.11Forbidden AccessForbidden AccessPLAY AGAINInstructionsInstructionsReturn to GameReturn to GameSave GameSave GameLoad GameLoad GameGame saved(cookies must be activated)okTimed game: Compete to be The Fastest Player!We keep track of your time as you play thegame.
