THE LEGEND OF PITFALL
Many years ago there was a daring adventurer who traveled the world in
search of ancient legends and lost treasures. His journeys took him
across the seven seas and to the ends of the earth. He ventured into
vast, uncharted regions filled with unthinkable dangers. As word of
his exploits filtered back to civilization, he soon became larger than
life...a legend. This great explorer was Pitfall Harry.
After many successful quests, Harry settled down to raise his son,
Harry Junior. Having inherited his fatherճ love of the unknown, Harry
Jr. grew up to become a hip 18-year-old with a deep sense of adventure-
and a bit of an attitude. He quickly learned the thrill of exploration
and discovery and soon experienced many exciting quests of his own.
Hearing of his sonճ thrilling escapades, Pitfall Harry realized how
much he longed for the life he once knew. So together the daring duo
set off for the jungles of Central America in search of the lost
treasures of the Mayans.
But something went terribly wrong...
Day 3--The Mayan Adventure
After days of traveling through the jungle, Harry Jr. and I have
finally reached the heart of the ancient Mayan Empire. Its been a
long journey, but the real danger lies ahead... For we are close to
discovering the lost treasure of Vaxactun.
According to legend, the treasure is guarded by the spirit of an
ancient Mayan warrior--Zakelua: Lord of Evil. Thousands of years ago,
Zakelua attempted to conquer the Mayan lands so he could rule the
Empire. After many battles, he was finally defeated, never to be seen
again...
I have recorded my research on Mayan culture and legend in the
following pages. If something should happen to me, it is my hope that
Harry Jr. take my personal log and use it as a guide to continue our
quest. I only hope that it will be enough help--if ever it must be
used...
P.H.
WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE
Pitfall Harry has been taken captive by the dreaded warrior spirit
Zakelua: Lord of Evil. Armed with only a trusty sling and his fathers
journal, young Harry Jr. must now venture into the unknown to rescue
his father...before it's too late!
