Chapter 10: A humid Day in Forsaken Lands
Thirteen and half years ago in a forgotten forest of the Wildlands. Scarlett was sitting in a tent looking over documents.
It was hot, almost unbearably so.
Scarlett had thought that the further you went north, the colder it gets. Yet, it felt like it was 40C (105F). She was covered in sweat and felt gross. It was times like these that she wished she was a cryomancer.
But, as miserable as she was, she still couldn’t be entirely displeased. Years of research had paid out, and led her to the potentially greatest archaeological discovery of the century.
Scarlett had managed to combine a bunch of old research papers and ancient records to find an ancient location. It led her to an ancient pyramid-like structure which laid just outside her tent.
The structure was well over 300 meters (1000 feet) tall with an erratic design. Stone stairs were built into the side, leading to a chamber at the top. The chamber was a singular room with a runic circle carved in the center. Many tests were run on the circle in the chamber, but nothing could be determined about its function.
