Is everything... fake?

With our path to the back now blocked, we had no other choice but to push forward. 

'I wonder what Hera and that other guy will do,' I thought, deciding against revealing those thoughts to Mia. 

We both had enough to worry about right now. There was no point in putting any further burden on the girl just to ease my own. 

'I can only hope they will somehow manage,' I thought, dropping the topic and stepping ahead. 

No matter what was hidden within those ruins, there was only one way to find out. And with our only option to retreat now gone, there was hardly anything better for us to do too. 

"Woah," I couldn't help but let a small moan of awe escape from my mouth when we emerged out of the tunnel. 

The insides of the ruin didn't appear to be touched by a massive chunk of time at all. They felt like they were deserted maybe a week ago, a month in a most drastic scenario. 

'But it's impossible,' I thought, shaking my head.
