As he passed through one hundred feet, he could see the top of the pyramid. The little light that made it this deep reflected off the smooth black stone. Dane knew the Navy had been all over this area, using all the scientific techniques they had to get an idea of the composition of the pyramid. And he had been briefed on the way over from the carrier that the black stone had defeated all those attempts.

None had disturbed what was on the flat top of the pyramid though. Dane didn’t know if Foreman had ordered that out of respect for Sin Fen’s remains or because the CIA man feared that such an action would cause a reappearance of the Bermuda Triangle Gate. Dane shook his head as he descended. Foreman wouldn’t have given a damn about Sin Fen.

Dane slowed, then came to a halt standing on the top of the pyramid, several feet from a large, four foot high slab that was in the center. A Naga Staff was upright next to the slab. Dane hesitated.

He could feel Sin Fen, her essence. Part of her. And hanging around the essence, was a sense of power coming out of the pyramid.

Dane remembered his last view of Sin Fen as she lay in a human shaped depression on the slab as her skull changed form, from flesh, bone and blood to crystal, channeling the power of the pyramid against the blackness of the Bermuda Triangle Gate. Blue lightning streaking from the skull, penetrating and dissipating the gate.

Dane took a step forward, the fins on his feet almost tripping him. He realized he was over breathing, sucking in too much air. He stopped.

Mission.

He focused on that one word. Years of harsh training pushed aside the emotions.

Mission.

Dane stepped forward. He could see down into the depression in the center of the slab. No bones. Just a pure crystal skull lying at the top. Dane reached out and put his hand on the top of the Naga Staff. His fingers curled among the snake heads. His eyes peering through the mask at the skull, Dane twisted the staff.

With a solid click it turned.

Dane’s hand was tight on the Naga Staff, his body tense, but nothing happened. He pulled the staff out of the slot it was in, careful to keep the razor sharp edge away from his body. Then he leaned over and placed his free hand on the skull, fingers spread. A shock ran up his arm, but he didn’t let go.

Dane closed his eyes and visions flashed through his mind: a dirty street in Cambodia; monks praying in stone ruins; the mist of the Angkor Gate covering jungle; the towers of Angkor Wat;

Dane tucked the crystal skull in the crook of his arm and pushed off, heading for the surface.

CHAPTER 12 480 BC

“There is someone we must meet.” Cyra spoke the words softly, the slight breeze coming off the water carrying them away so that only the King heard them.

Leonidas was standing on the high bank, peering out at the Gulf of Corinth.
