Welcome Steemit!

I have created the GIF art to represent the imagining
of a segment of Part 6 of Awaken.

The title for Part 6 is
"Dismay Down Deep"
and if you would like to click the link to give
the whole thing a read, I'd appreciate it.

The GIF art will be accompanied by the segment for which
it is depicting within the story, while all the parts of the story
can be found listed, and linked to below.

The Excerpt

...excerpt...

After they stewed in the awe and utter terror of the moment, Kogg cawed at them in support. The old man looked up at Kogg and smiled. “Orvus, it's opening!” said the old man, as he ambushed him with a hug. Click! The fourth step was now level with the third. “This is mad,” Orvus muttered. They both stumbled as both the third and fourth circular steps sunk and became level with the second set. Both watched in anticipation as the three steps came into alignment. Click! They waited a moment, yet the three steps continued no further.

“That's it?” Orvus said, disheartened. “I think not,” said the old man, “here, come help.” They both stood firm and exerted force on the statue, in an attempt to rotate it back facing east. Kogg was incredibly excited now, and hopped up and down. That statue gave in and without too much effort, they had managed to get it back facing eastward. Again, from beneath the two heard something give way. The fourth circular step platform with the statue started to sink lower than the third. It continued down and when they were waist deep, Orvus looked at his friend, “We could still climb out at this point.” The old man smiled at Orvus. The platform sank deeper, and deeper until even the statue was beneath ground level. They both looked up the shaft they were sinking into, then the old man sat down.
