The chamber was a sanctuary of silence, its vastness echoing with the whispers of time. We spread out, each of us drawn to different relics and inscriptions that seemed to call out with secrets only we could uncover. The air was thick with dust and history, the weight of centuries pressing down on us as we delved deeper into the mysteries of the Ancients.
Felix was immediately absorbed in the inscriptions that lined the walls, his fingers tracing the delicate symbols that glowed faintly in the dim light. His eyes, usually sharp and calculating, softened with the awe of discovery as he pieced together the puzzle before him.
"These symbols," he murmured, almost to himself, "they're a language I've only seen hints of in my studies. The Ancients were far more advanced than we ever imagined."
