Ancient relics had probably been long since collected by researchers, scientists, or roving adventurers that stole stuff and gave it to museums. There was hardly anything left besides the structures themselves, and even those had been chipped away at. Since he was going in not expecting much he wasn't disappointed, and he also was not above taking a neat looking rock along with him. His room back home already housed a couple of those. Tors sniffed at the rock as Nils knelt down to pick it up. Nils turned the multi-faced stone over in his hand, curious if the mudbray was going to try and eat it... but he didn't, he merely seemed interested in it because his trainer was. [color=F27357]"You can hold onto it if you want, Tors,"[/color] Nils said, an amused little smile on his face. Tors blew a puff of air from his mouth and wagged his tail. [b][ Tors is now holding a Hard Stone ... somehow! ][/b] Truth be told, Nils hadn't expected to find much in general. It was only the age of the ruins that piqued his interest enough to at least look. So when he continued searching, swept his eyes over the runes, and then had to stop and stare at the high wall with wide eyes he was not only [i]not disappointed[/i], but taken completely by surprise. [i]This is...![/i] he started to think to himself, but found it hard to even voice in his own head. These were familiar shapes, words he could read, even in a language so different from the common speech of Evig now. Nils stood frozen for what seemed like a long time, just taking in as many words as he could and trying to piece together the context of what was written. His eyes traced every rune, then jumped to the next line, the next wall. It was a lot. His head was even starting to hurt a little, but his heart... it beat strongly, partly elated that he'd found this, what just had to be a clue, and partly saddened that he was not as fluent as he could have been. But that was what this journey was for. Now, hours after taking his first step and meeting his partner pokemon, he felt that he'd just taken his second. After a while of committing words to memory and trying to figure out what the message was spelling out (he guessed it was about some sort of cataclysm, but was it a chronicle? A prophecy? A warning?), Nils recalled that he was not actually in the past with the words. This was the modern era; he had a Rotom Phone. Giving his eyes and brain a rest, the boy took a few photos of the carved walls. He doubted he would be able to translate them in full anytime soon, if at all, but he wanted to keep this proof. Tors had seated himself in the grass, just beginning to doze off when Nils pulled the phone out and roused the pokemon inadvertently. The mudbray shook its head to clear the drowsiness and then hopped back up onto its four feet, looking up at Nils. "Muuu mud?" [color=F27357]"Almost done, buddy. I want to stick around here a little longer though, see if I can't find whatever this is..."[/color] as Nils said that, he gently traced the rune in front of him with his hand. He wasn't exactly sure what it said. [i]Automaton[/i]... so something like a [i]robot[/i]? Did they even have those back when this was written? Maybe it was supposed to be [i]golem[/i] instead? Nils absently petted Tors' head as he thought about it. [color=F27357]"It might not even still be here. But it doesn't hurt to look, right? So let's see... I guess we can start by finding a building that might have been a barracks, or something?"[/color] Tors tilted his head, oblivious to what a barracks even was. Before the two of them could start their search (but really just continue with more direction), there was yet another nearby commotion. This one was not as loud as the girls' screams from just earlier, but since Nils was not as far away this time he heard it pretty clearly. In another part of the ruins a thump of something hitting the ground and the surprised reactions of the other trainers. Tors jumped to alertness, and he and Nils turned curious eyes in that direction. A moment later and they went over to see what had happened, and coming upon Clarissa on the ground once more (she was a bit of a trouble magnet, wasn't she?) with Vivian hovering over her, to then hear what happened following Vivian's enthusiastic grilling.
