Chapter 55 – Scales
The view was imposing and gorgeous.
Right now, Kyle was on a small platform that was about 100 meters high.
The cave itself was 300 meters high, and the ruins of the city had buildings that almost reached that height.
The buildings were made of brown crystals, and in the middle of the city were the ruins of a spire that had been broken halfway up.
Yet, even while broken, the base of the spire still almost reached the ceiling of the cave.
The walls and ceiling of the cave were clean, and almost no minerals were growing anywhere.
'This is crazy!' Kyle thought. 'An entire underground city!'
He wondered about the past of the city.
'That big tower is obviously broken, but it still almost reaches the ceiling. Does that mean that the city was once above the surface?'
'Did the ground beneath them give way?'
'But then, shouldn't everything be covered by rubble?'
