She searched deeply into the sacred cave for her treasure, and finally found the crystal skull. It was when she was leaving that the guardians of the cave made their point. Epilogue: After the stalactite impaled her, she looked over and saw the Fer-de-Lance snakes, she looked down and saw the crystal skull, she looked up for an escape and saw the bats, and her last thoughts were, “The curse…I’ll never make it out of here…â€, and she thought she was dreaming a macabre Halloween scene.

I was inspired by the mythology surrounding 13 crystal skulls and the actual sacred caves of the Maya. The Fer-de-Lance snake (a.k.a. Tommy Goff) is so deadly that it is the scariest thing I can think of...having faced way too many in the jungle. Approximately 15 hours work.
