Beneath the sun that had passed the middle of the sky and drawn closer to sunset, we stood there staring at the remains of the tall wall that had once risen here in the past.
Some of the intact sections still stood dozens of meters above the ground... the ground filled with the roots of the grass that had climbed this wall and wrapped it in a layer of dark roots and green leaves, hiding its weathered surface.
Here and there, large pieces the size of houses that had long ago broken off from it could be seen lying on the ground, half buried in the dirt while the grass covered what remained.
"Another city." Elliot muttered beside me, his voice full of awe.
Who could blame him, remembering what happened in the last city we visited... well, these were just ancient ruins anyway.
I looked right and left, seeing the shattered wall stretching out and blocking the way before us.
