There it stands. Each brick precariously balanced one over the other; a thin, wobbly stack leading upto half-broken arches. The moss has long since covered the once rustic, brown walls. Now fresh, lush and green they appear- overridden with weeds and fungi. In shambles lies the once proud structure. It lies humble and weak on it's creaking knees. The warm morning sun leaves behind eerie shadows, long and irregularly shaped; like spirits lurking in the dark. The place is cursed with charm. It holds its darkest secrets behind the guise of beauty; but then again, maybe not...
In he ventured. His time-worn, tattered clothes seemed appropriate. Slowly, yet purposefully he strode; unaware of what fate awaited him beyond those ram-shackled walls. But he didn't care enough to worry. As he walked under the unstable archways, the ground shifted under his feet. Weeds were disturbed and fell before him from great heights. Occasionally a snake whizzed past between his legs, striking at his oversized, river-wet pants. His clothes smelled of adventure and his face spoke of wisdom. He had set out on a journey long before he could remember. He was still searching for his final destination; one he wasn't so certain of anymore. Would he find what he was looking for among the shambles of Zuili? Only time will tell.
