Tame backed away a bit before charging into its back. The bite of the steel pressing back caused him to wince, but it didn’t stop him from he pushing it away as the the wood and stoned started to crack. Slowly, the web simply couldn’t bear it anymore, and the suit of armor fell through the window.

He stepped out to the edge just in time to see the suit slam against a tower. Cracks appeared in the breastplate, but for a moment he actually thought it was getting up. Its metal greaves weren’t good for the shingle roof and soon the suit was lipping down once more. This time, when it hit the ground, there was no doubt in his mind that it was dead.

Ah!

He turned around on his heels. The scream had come from behind him, from the door he had been trying to enter this whole time. Tame slowly made his way over to it and put his hand upon the door knob. It resisted him, so he backed away and kicked it. The old brass couldn’t take the abuse, and the door flung open.

Inside was a skull with a single light within that sat upon a plain bed. Dust covered the sheets surrounding the skull, and a great feeling of shame filled him as he picked it up. The light followed, but it quickly raced up his arm and into the artifact. A chill went through him and his hands dropped the skull as a single tear fell from his eyes. There he stood for a few moments before finally trudging back out the way he had come

Tame turned his head towards the open window and swallowed hard. He whispered, “I’m sorry,” before leaving the hallway, sick of being in such a place.
