The temple seemed to swallowed most sounds.
Our footsteps rang out, but the echoes were swallowed too quickly, as though the walls didn't want them to disturb the sacred place we were trespassing into with our hearts full of questions.
Light slanted in from high windows, catching on the dust that drifted lazily in the air.
'This feels like an episode of tomb raider or something!' I thought. 'Could this place get any spookier?'
Oh, it did get spookier in the very next moment.
Statues lined the hall and they were tall, robed figures with stern faces though there were some that were missing heads or arms.
The others had their empty eyes that seemed to follow us.
I couldn't lie to myself at this point I didn't like it one bit.
And from how they shadowed my movements neither did Ayesha nor Abu as they clung to my sides like they wanted to invade my skin.
Poor things were practically shivering and their breaths coming like they didn't want to disturb even the air.
