Chapter 11: Disciples and Theories
Nearly a day and a half had gone by since the attack. Scarlett and Chelsie were inside a tent sitting around a table looking through several documents. The interior was sparse and illuminated by a simple lantern that hung in the center of the tent.
Chelsie was looking through some documents intensely before she put them down and looked at Scarlett.
Chelsie: “Teacher, I have a question.”
Scarlett: “What is it?” She said without looking away from the documents in front of her.
Chelsie: “I was just thinking, it’s strange that we haven’t found any remains. There are all kinds of artifacts to denote some civilization existed here at some point, but why no remains. I think that might help us with the investigation if we find out.”
It was true. They had found tools and pottery, but no remains, not even animal bones. If a civilization did exist here, there should have been something.
Scarlett: “Hmm. A fair observation, but I'm afraid it is not a good lead to pursue.”
Chelsie: “Really, why?”
Scarlett: “Have you read all the reports that were available about the Wildlands?”
