The ruins

The eerie ruins loomed before Alex, a dense combination of greenery and decayed cobblestone stretching as far as his eyes permitted. The towering trees of the rainforest obscured the flickering sky, with barely any light reaching Alex on the forest floor.

It didn't take long before the ruins came into view — ancient stone structures half-hidden by thick vines and foliage.

From the outside, the ruins looked like a densely packed maze of walls, broken buildings and all sorts of remnants of a lost city.

While the civilisation of the Primordial Expanse closely resembled that of Medieval Europe, this place simply looked ancient. The closest resemblance it had was to the Mayan ruins from Central America.

With excitement and anticipation flowing through his veins, Alex pushed forward, sinking his boots into the earth with each step as he cautiously made his way towards the entrance of the ruins.
