600 Covered With Treasures

"I'll continue to fortify the place later," Roland said faintly as he looked at the high concrete platform, "and carve another Dimensional Anchor array underneath while the Dimensional Anchor spell is still in effect so he can't get out."

Wright took a step back in shock. "So cruel? How many years does it take for a magic array like that to fail?"

"A conservative estimate would be three hundred years," Roland replied after a moment's thought.

"Impressive," Wright tsked. "I wonder if the golem will still be moving after that many years." Wright looked at the rocky plateau in the roiling yellow sand. "In three hundred years, maybe this place will become a legendary ruin that will attract many people to excavate and explore."

As the two men spoke, a bird's song suddenly came from far in the sky.

Roland looked up and felt at ease immediately when he saw a blue firebird flying in the air.
