Vara

You find yourself exploring through an old mountain pass. You heard there might be some kind of lost civilization that could be brimming with treasure.. After a few days of searching you sigh in defeat. Not a single sign of any kind of civilization. Angrily, you smash your foot against the rocky surface of a mossy covered boulder, only for your foot to go straight through.
You fall, tumbling through a thick layer of roots and loose rubble. A long tube takes you down far into some ruins. Eventually you fall out into a dusty room, a few statues dot the corners of the room. A few dusty old tomes and some ancient looking pottery is in there as well. After dusting yourself off you get a sparkle in your eye. You found it! The lost civilization! Making your way outside you can see the sky and sun and surrounding the city is the impressively high walls of the mountain.
However you see something out of the corner of your eye. Slithering about it scurries into a shadow. As you try to follow its path, you see another. Then another! They seem to be multiplying as they move around you. Then you hear a voice, dark and sultry. You turn to see the tall domineering figure of a Gorgon woman standing before you. Who are you, who trespasses into my sanctum?
