Chapter 54: The Sword of the Ancients(Part 2)

At last, the visitors have finally arrived at the Gorge of Silence, and just as the name states, There are only a few creatures that lived in this desolate desert, thus it's name. The Visitors visited a nearby settlement, but only to find there are no people living in the supposedly deserted town...

Lucid: Wow.. the place does live up to it's name...
Kirnale: Yeah.. Literally there's no one here...
Lilith: The town is virtually empty...
Lucid: Still we gotta be cautious.. who know what kind of traps the Minions of Hebarn have for us...
Eriol: Well, I sense little or even no magical enerygy around here..
Namiele: Same here... No magic in any part of this deserted place...
Elysia: Yep. Still, there might some lurking around that we cant sense...
Larg: But still, even if they are cloaked, we can still detect them, right?
Elysia: Yes.. But we cant be too certain...
Lucid: Yes.. I'd say we've gotta watch our backs...

As the visitors explored the town, Maru and Moro went out and stumbled upon some old rocks...

Maru: Wow, look at these rocks!
Moro: They look so strange...
Maru: Yeah.. and so old...
Moro: Let's poke them!
Maru: Good Idea! *pokes rock*
Moro: Not like that! Like this! *pokes harder*
Maru: you're doing it all wrong! Like this! *pokes even harder*

As they poked on the rock, the earth started to tremble and the rock started to move... Maru and Moro are surprised by the trembling and moved away from the rock. Suddenly, the rock grew taller until it became a human-like statue.

Maru: Wha.. What the heck is that?!
Moro: I don't know. But Perhaps we should move away slowly.. It could be alive...
Maru: Yeah... Let's just walk along really slowly and carefully...

However, the statue moved and threw a large boudler at them. It missed but it made other rocks to sprout out and become Golems.

Maru: Oh no.. what did we do wrong?!
Moro: Let's get outta here!!!!

Maru and Moro ran away as fast as they can, but the Golem followed them.. Soon they reached the town and the visitors are just outside talking..

Elysia: The place is really deserted.. Nothing much we can do anyway...
Lilith: Yeah.... Let's just proceed to the Worm dragon and-
Maru and Moro: Help! Help! Giant stone creatures atatcking us! They're following us even as we speak!
Lucid: Are they tall and made of stone?
Maru: Yes! We accidentaly ran into one of them!
Namiele: oh boy.. Guess the defenders of the Gorge have awakened...
Eriol: Well, we should get ready for here they come!

Soon, the large horde of Golems have arrived and the visitors will now face a threat that they themselves might find it hard to beat....
