THE DEVIL'S CURVE... (THE RESOLUTION)

It was Charles who saw the path; a dim blue light that ran along the left side of the inner wall of the cave. Apart from the light, not much else was visible. Charles took one look at me and ventured forward. I followed, there was not much else either of us wanted at that point.
We walked down, following the light as far as it led. As we walked, broken shells cracked beneath our Feet. And after what seemed like the best part of fifteen minutes, we came upon it, the dark treasure in all its splendor...

It was more impressive than legend portrayed it to be. There were layers upon layers of shiny objects, piled up as far as the eyes could see. It illuminated the inner recesses of the cave, and gave the whole place the feel of nirvana.

Charles and I stood in awe, and for the first few seconds we filled up our eyes rather than the bags we had brought with us. We soon settled to the task however, and when we were satisfied that we had carried enough, we headed back for the Devil's Mouth.

That was when we saw them; illuminated by the shiny bags on our shoulders, piles of bones and skeletons lined up the path from which we had come. It took me only a split second to realize; no shells ever cracked, only the bones of men long dead, men who came after the dark treasure. I dropped my bag, and ran as fast as I could up the path to the entrance of the Devil's Mouth.
As I came upon the wall now standing where the entrance had been, I crumbled...

Maybe once a century the full moon rises, but the Devil never gives up that which he takes...
