[Legate of Amon Lanc]

The last events have brought us to the brink of total exhaustion. The light of the electric torches was dwindling and we did not feel comfortable with switching to the other set we still had with us, as these have been our last ones. Still there was this urge to go and see what happened to the escaped creature, now that we have felt at last safe. But on the other hand there was the repulsive feeling and the wish to leave forever that terrible place as soon as possible.

At last we have decided to rest - for a few minutes, in the dark to save the batteries. Then we will decide what exactly to do next. So we all sat down and leaning against the wall relaxed in the dark. I don't know how it happened, but apparently we have dozed off. It would not be surprising after all that we have been through recently. The only thing I can record with full certainity is that after I woke up, I could not find the electric torch. Among growing panic in the dark, I have realised that there are strange sounds coming from one of the passageways nearby, and flashes of light coruscating on the black graffiti-covered walls. I jumped up and in the darkness, blind, groped my way towards the source. Then, I have identified the sounds at last: it was a mixture of gasping, snarls, growls and eerie howling. Then the corridor took a sharp turn and there I saw it at last: a woman armed only with an electric torch, standing against a terrible shadow of wolf-shaped monster on the edge of a large room, a vast subterranean cavern reaching far into darkness. In the flashing light, I noticed a glitter of iron on the ground: it was a dropped gun, probably wrestled away from the woman during the fight. And as I hurled myself forwards, I could see the abomination pouncing against the woman who tried to defend herself feebly. Her dying screem resounded through the cave and then she dropped the torch and the shadow of the werewolf disappeared in the darkness.

Then there came the sound of hurrying feet. The remnants of our expedition have gathered together. We lit the remaining torch. In its light, we found ourselves standing on the edge of a large pit - and at our feet the dead body of the originator of our expedition, who died in her last fight, unprepared to defend herself. She was the one who had come up with the idea of this expedition - yet she was never acknowledged for it properly - and now her life had also ended in this dark and cold place.

Nevertheless, we have acknowledged, as we looked into each other's pale faces, that one of us is the monster who killed her.
