"Nope!" Kurtis said, wiping dust of off his face. "You mean that's not common on your planet?"

Questions, so many questions..." The stone is a sandy color, and crumbles fairly easily the touch. Whatever was holding it together his given up by now. Swirly patterns covered the surface of all of the animal parts, vine-like in texture. As if the creature had been attempting to blend in to it's surroundings, but ultimately failed because of it's material.

"You never know?" "I hope we don't run into them . . . it took forever to take down." Kurtis turned to glance at the sky. The fight had disturbed the forest, and most of the noise-making life had fled, or gone silent. He wondered if that was a good thing or not. With an exhausted sigh, he picked up his sword, and turned to the trial he'd been carving. It was mid-afternoon now, and it felt like their progress had been painstakingly slow. Kurtis wondered if he'd be reprimanded by higher ups if their job was delayed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It was such a strange creature . . . if we're lucky, it was one of kind." They continued to cut through the jungle and such and I'm tired of describing it you get the idea. Sometime in the afternoon, they finally reached something that wasn't annoyingly large plant matter. Kurtis swung at the latest branch in their with his sword. He brought it down, severing the wood, but as it fell the end of his blade CLANGED against something hard in the shrubbery beyond. "What the?" He struggled with the foliage for a bit, but he managed to clear it revealing a stone. Not just a boulder, but a large human-cut brick. Shoving his way through more plants, he stubbled into a clearing-ish. The remains of a few stone buildings covered the small area. Most of them were little more then one or two walls, and the plants had almost completely swallowed them. A large, dark bird sat on the top of the highest crumbling wall, eyeing them as they approached. "Well that's different!" Kurtis exclaimed. "Probably here before the jungle." @Scars of Hathsin @BlueWildRye Edited September 13 by J. Magi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueWildRye he/him Posted Tuesday at 01:14 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 01:14 PM Wyldri studied it intently. "This could be anything really. A farmhouse, a temple, a fortress... We should investigate further." She glanced at the bird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
