Finally, the passage in of Ace opened, and he stopped in front of it. Standing before him was a massive entrance, or what remained of one, because the door, if it could still be called that, was shattered.
Fragments of ancient material lay scattered across the ground, as if something had broken through it long ago with overwhelming force, yet no one had bothered to repair it, or, if they had, they couldn't.
Ace frowned slightly with a hint of confusion, 'Why is it left like this?'
After all, it didn't make sense for a place this important to remain in ruins unless the ruin itself held meaning.
Nonetheless, Ace stepped forward carefully and crossed the threshold, and what lay beyond was a vast hall enshrouded in silence and desolation; on top of that, it was ruined.
Cracked walls stretched across the chamber, etched with scars of what was clearly an ancient battle. Massive stone statues lay broken across the ground, some reduced to fragments, others split cleanly in half.
