"None taken," Straw replied, eyes scanning the forest in front of them, as if he were looking for something. "I've dug around more than a few in my day. Guess they do tend to look the same after awhile."

Althea nodded her agreement, glancing back at Zed. At his warning, she pulled an arrow from her quiver and knocked it loosely to her bow. She'd only traveled with this group for a little under a week, but was already beginning to feel a bond with them. At least with the Estella and Zed. Straw had been a little distant, but Althea chalked that up him simply being older. "Ever find anything interesting in them?" she asked Zed. The only ruins she had ever seen had been close to civilization, so any treasures they might have contained were long gone.

It was not long until the first site of the ruins came into view. Something that might have been a smile played at Straw's mouth. "Looks like the map was right."
