The group in the car reached the front of the colossal ancient structure radiating mild might; a testament to its bygone position in the heart of the ancient worshippers who commune with the heavens in its holy of holies.
"Let's get down first"
At Skylar's instruction the group alighted their loyal and steadfast companion, the car.
And they followed behind Skylar towards one of the two horizontal supporting blocks of one of this numerous unit that are arranged in rings that formed a concentric circle around the consecrated center of the ruin- the sacred center.
"I remember now, its just like the stonehenge i read about . But this stone blocks are way bigger and have this glyph things on it. It probably serves some purpose in the past"
Skylar rubbing his hand on the white vertical block with height in few kilometers the same as the others of its kinds muttered while also scrutinizing the figure and symbols on it.
Lady cat standing beside him looked up at him and asked (Meow "Have you dealt with something like this before at the place you come from?")
"No, its just that i have seen something like this but in a very terrible condition and i don't think it has glyphs drawn on it" Skylar responded. And then he proceed to study the glyphs on some of the other blocks.
Skylar, after a couple hours of examining the glyphs on the blocks of the outer ring approached the others- mr Rabbit leaning against one of the vertical blocks, the little guy who is as quiet as usual floating above in front of the block mr rabbit is leaning on while looking at its pattern, Raftelia, the golden rat who is also studying the pattern at one side beside mr Rabbit, and finally lady cat chilling up above right under the dead sky and on top of the horizontal block placed on two vertical block and one of the vertical block is where the others are and Skylar figure is now approaching.
I will have to solve this thing fast and get out of here... i can barely suppress my hunger...
unlike this guys, i am reaching my limit already... well, solving this will likely take more time, and i will have to bear it for a longer time...
"I think we should do something first, like an experiment" He said as he got closer to the group and the group at his word display an expression that reads 'go on'.
And Skylar continued "We pick four random cardinal directions and we should try to find the exit in one of them by trying all of them. But this may likely take a lot of time" he paused then continue after scanning their faces "what do you guys think"
(Meow "My mate can't we do this. To save time, four of us will simultaneously leave in this four directions we choose and if one of us don't return here, the others can conclude the direction the missing fellow took should be an exit out of here")
I have thought of it already...
Skylar with a knowing smile faced lady cat, who suggested the idea and mouthed with confidence "But we have only one car"
And at his words the other gave him a puzzled look, one in particular a contemptuous glare, after which lady cat replied him (Squeak "Who says we take the car")
(Squeak "The car is very slow, going on feet will be faster") Raftelia also chipped in.
At there reaction Skylar got stunned and felt his ego bruised.
Fuck, so that car going at that speed is very slow while i have to maintain hyperfocus just to make things outside of it out clearly... really, how strong are you guys... and this little guy that act like a weakling you also think we have been traveling like a snail... okay, wait, fuck, what about that serpent... what if the bitch is running after us right now... how fast is fast in this world even...
"Okay, i will wait here, inside the very slow guy and the four of you can pick the direction and try them out" he said sullenly after is long contemplation with a voice that expressed his true feeling about the situation plus a bit of sarcasm. And after which he headed for their car glowing in one corner under a very large shinning crystal tree.
Lady cat looked in his direction as he was about to enter the car. (Meow "my mate don't be bothered. This great me is certain we can stand above this world together very soon.") and she said, while others also gave him a look that expresses they might seem to agree with her words.
(Meow "Let's not waste time") And she instructed as she faced the others (Meow "big guy you take north, little guy you take south, Raftelia you take east, this great me will take west")
And like this the heavy weights of the group like a bullet fired and in a blur set out in their respective directions while Skylar alone waits for good news in the car that has been silently spectating the massive stone structure- Stonehenge.
***
At the same time on the barren plain, on a straight path that leads to the ancient ruin few thousand kilometers ahead, under the glorious heavenly manifestation illuminating the plain like the light of dawn; is a scene, up close of a green blur flying in the direction of the ruin like a spring contracting and relaxing at intervals, followed far behind by what seems to be a large mass of water slithering at an incredible speed while leaving behind super tall shock waves expanding and moving in an opposite direction to it.
***
"That didn't work" Skylar leaning against the crystal tree muttered as mr Rabbit, the last of the powerhose returned to join the others.
This mean, no matter which direction you take trying to leave here, you will always be reflected and sent back to your starting point... its just like the formation thing in the eastern literature... then, the unique location, the center should be where the mysterylies, if there is one...
(Meow "How do you think some fellow were able to escape this place") lady cat asked as she jumped down gracefully from the top of the big car beside the crystal tree, to Skylar's naked chest as he leaned on the tree.
Then Skylar replied her as he caught her safely and as she nestled on his chest.
"We will find out very soon at the center" then he disconnected from the tree.
"Let's go" he said.
Skylar holding lady cat led the way and the others followed closely behind as they walked into the ancient white stone structure- Stonehenge, which is still radiating a shadow of its former might and glory.
So there are a hundred and eight rings of this portal-like structure... if i recall correctly the outermost ring should have a lot more than ten thousand of this portal-like structure... looking at it now this portal thing is very large, its like its made for colossal giants to pass through...
Skylar contemplated as the group walk through the stone structure and towards the center of the ruin.
"The blocks here are not inscribed but carved." He muttered while he feels with his hand the carved glyphs on one of the vertical blocks of the last ring of the door frame set- the innermost one that encircles the very sacred center of the ruin.
(Meow "They stand out... Then, they must serve a special purpose") lady cat who at one point as left Skylar's embrace and now standing beside him while also examining the carved glyphs on the same block deduced.
After some minutes of studying, an action that also included Raftelia at another side; Skylar led the group into the sacred heart of the ruin the stone structure seem to protect and watch over.
Inside the stone structure; the earth was reddish black, its vault, an unexpected inclusion, an inner heaven that has probably worn out as it look like a smeared painting of a child done on a rusty dome supported by all the horizontal blocks in the innermost ring placed squarely on their carved vertical supports.
the inner heaven here i think might have been an important clue, but its badly damage, except for that headless figure in a long gown holding something... what's it holding... its smeared. i can't see it clearly, its like a rod supporting something...
(Squeak "Sky the only thing here is an altar") Raftelia called Skylar's attention which is on the vault of the very large sacred space to its only content at its center- a very large and fairly tall golden altar.
Then Skylar at Raftelia words moved closer to the center in front of the altar about three meters taller than him, and climbed onto it. Lady cat also did the same as she stood beside Skylar who is now looking down at the carved glyph on the golden altar.
"Pretty sis how much do you know about glyphs?" he asked while still scrutinizing the familiar symbols, patterns, and figures that makes up the glyphs sectioned into a number of quadrants that matches the number of the stone door frames that make the innermost ring of the stone structure.
There are a hundred and eight section just like there are a hundred and eight of this portal-like thing surrounding this place... its like something is so obvious...
(Squeak "I know almost nothing. But i know about inscriptions and a little about runes. They are all interrelated...") Raftelia answered while she check the carved patterns - inscription, on the cylindrical base support of the altar.
"What's the difference between the three?"
(Meow "Glyphs are those symbols and figures. Inscription are those obvious patterns, and runes are the peculiar pattern you will find on tools and weapons especially") lady cat standing beside him as both study the glyphs and inscription answered casually before Raftelia the one Skylar asked could answer.
"They are called 'natural pattern' or 'cosmic code' according to ancient history. There are more than three types..."
"Is something called formation and array a cosmic code?" Skylar interrupted Raftelia addition and asked as he changed his position on the very large golden altar.
