You decide to take the path to the field; perhaps you can get a clearer idea of where you are. A slight breeze blows through the trees, almost whispering, telling you to turn back.
[after 6 seconds]
Telling yourself that you're paranoid, you continue down the path. It goes down a hill and opens to a field, as you saw from the fork. However, what it holds was not something you expected.
[after 12 seconds]
From the path's split, you thought there was a multitude of rocks in the grass and bushes, yet the moonlight showed the truth. Strewn across the field is a mass skeletal graveyard, discolored bones inside rusted and broken armor, next to weapons.
[after 18 seconds]
There are hundreds of bodies, if not thousands, spread across the plain. The thought of going through a field of the dead sends ice into your veins. What do you do?

Perhaps the mountain would help you get a higher vantage point to try and find your way back.
[after 7 seconds]
Your family would be worried, not just about you but also about the consequences of one of the master's workers going missing.
[after 14 seconds]
Continuing down the path, you notice the little night animals scurrying around, safe from the predators that hunted during the day.
[after 21 seconds]
As you get closer, you realize that the mountain is not a mountain. It's a massive ancient fortress. Its heavy walls stand over three hundred feet tall at the shortest parts, at the largest point, which appeared to be the entrance, the walls are close to 500 ft.
[after 30 seconds]
This fortress holds authority, it reminded you of the barracks your masters and their soldiers live in, yet this fortress is far more ancient.
[after 37 seconds]
Getting closer, you see how ravaged the walls are. There are holes larger than three grown men standing on each other shoulders in them. Yet the walls still stand unpenetrated.

Your curiosity defeats your fear as you step out onto the field of bones and metal.
[after 5 seconds]
You weave around the bones and rusted weapons that still appear to be as sharp as the last day their owner used them. The skulls seem to peer at you from their resting places.
[after 12 seconds]
_What type of battle occurred for such a vast army to perish?_
[after 16 seconds]
They weren't ordinary workers or slaves like you and your family were.
With every skeleton lay a weapon and an entire body of armor.
[after 20 seconds]
No slave or common person owned such things; to own armor would be seen as a threat to your master's rule and an insult to the Empress.
[after 25 seconds]
The moonlight strikes a breastplate, lifting the image of a symbol on the rusted metal.
[after 30 seconds]
You stop in your tracks.
[after 33 seconds]
Your grandmother had drawn that symbol numerous times in the dirt that made up the floor of your home. They were a myth. Your mother had told you thousands of times that they were nothing but a legend. A source of false hope.

Even though the people have been dead for many years, you can't get yourself to walk through the field they took their last breaths on.
[after 10 seconds]
Hastily you turn back, the images of the skulls seemingly staring at you, pleading for something was almost too much to bear.

Walking through the entrance, you see more marks of battle on the doors and the inner walls.
[after 8 seconds]
Burn marks, cracks, collapsed parts of the wall with rubble strewn across the ground.
[after 16 seconds]
Your sandaled feet scrape against the floor, the only sound in this enormous structure. As you explore further, you find more skeletons.
[after 26 seconds]
_Why hadn't anyone buried them?.. Perhaps there was no one left to bury them?_
[after 34 seconds]
Beside you is a short sword in the death clutch of a forgotten warrior.
[after 40 seconds]
Do you take the sword to defend yourself, just in case? Or do you leave it to rest with its owner?

Her face was like the walls on your village home, cracked and worn from the sun. Although her face was worn, her eyes were bright, glinting with amusement.
[after 10 seconds]
"What story would you like to hear?" she asked, leaning down to your level.

"The warrior story! The warrior story!"

It's easy to navigate, thanks to the clear sky and the moonlight that showered the land and fortress.

There don't appear to be many entrances besides the main one, where the gates are wide open.

Even though the world seems to be absent of human life, vines have scaled the walls and hang beautifully in the light.

[after 10 seconds]
It's a small village, or at least what's left of one.
[after 15 seconds]
There are numerous bodies here, and some huddled in fear, others hugging one another, some in their houses, others lying in the street.
[after 25 seconds]
The structures are burned and toppled, nothing but debris and the bare bones of buildings.
[after 35 seconds]
Tears prickle at your eyes, threatening to be released. These people died long ago, but the pain, fear, and sorrow had pervaded this area.

As you walk by one of the houses, you see the house owners had tried to crawl to something.

You grasp the short sword. However, it was far too big for you. It came up to your chin, the blade engraved with symbols that matched those on the walls. You could barely lift the sword, even with two hands.

_If this is a short sword, how big was the person you wielded it?_
[after 20 seconds]
You try to walk with the sword, but it scraps against the stone floor, echoing throughout the empty fortress.

Your pace is slow, and even if you did have to defend yourself, this sword would do you no good. It was far too heavy and cumbersome for you to use.

Yet while you're looking for something to use a torch, you move a little into the corridor. The movement triggers something in the passage, the symbols or what was left of the glow a brilliant gold color.
[after 20 seconds]
_Wow.._
[after 23 seconds]
With the glowing symbols lighting your way, you walk down the corridor. Your pace is slow as you gaze at the walls and ceiling with your mouth slightly agape.
[after 33 seconds]
After you walk for a while, you reach an intersection with three other corridors.
[after 38 seconds]
The one directly in front of you shows an entrance to a large room.
[after 43 seconds]
The corridor to your left is glowing, but it's barely bright enough for you to see a few feet ahead of you.
[after 53 seconds]
The one to your right has a set of stairs that lead deeper into the fortress.

You decide to sit and rest for a while. You've walked over a couple of miles, and the moon was high at this point.
[after 10 seconds]
_"Grrrr"_
[after 12 seconds]
You hold your stomach as it protests its emptiness. As you lean against the wall, your eyes roam the walls. Symbols flowed across the stone. Some were scratched out with long jagged marks. Others were covered in dirt and moss.
[after 15 seconds]
Once you feel rested enough, you stand brushing your clothes off. Are you ready to continue?

Walking down the middle corridor opens to a large room, with a table overlooked by a massive statue of a woman, arms outstretched.
[after 10 seconds]
The ceiling is far above you, at least a couple hundred feet. Even the statue doesn't reach the top.
[after 20 seconds]
She wears a long dress, with armor covering the top half of her body. She wears a helmet, long hair cascading down her shoulders.
[after 30 seconds]
In her right hand, she holds a sphere of white stone. In her left hand is a sphere of black stone.
[after 37 seconds]
The statue is cracked, and some pieces of her armor are missing.
[after 43 seconds]
The table in the center of the room is fractured in places. The chairs are broken and scattered across the room.

You walk down the left corridor, making sure to shuffle more than walk just in case of any debris in your path.
[after 8 seconds]
This corridor is more broken, and skeletons are on the floor. Red stains still linger from their deaths.
[after 16 seconds]
You quietly walk over the bones, sadness filling you. These people died such a long time ago, yet no one put them to rest, or at least it seems there was no one left to.
[after 24 seconds]
So here their bodies lay until all that is left is dust, no prayers or rituals to send them off.
[after 31 seconds]
You wipe some escaping tears away before moving quickly toward the end of the corridor. You enter a room with broken doors. Their wood splintered from the outside.
[after 41 seconds]
Inside the room a more skeletons, some with arrows still lodged in their chests. The room is filled with weapons, racks, and racks of weapons still hand on the walls sit in the middle of the room.
[after 51 seconds]
_Why did the people who attacked not take these weapons?_
[after 55 seconds]
You reach your hand out to a dagger hanging on a shelf and feel a barrier of sorts between your hand and the weapon. It doesn't hurt, but it's as if the barrier is a living thing that is testing to see if you were worthy of the weapon.
[after 65 seconds]
Within a second, the barrier fades, and your hands wrap around the dagger.
[after 70 seconds]
It would be good to have a weapon, but these objects weren't yours, and you do not wish to bring the wrath of the dead upon yourself.
[after 76 seconds]
You place the dagger back in its place and leave the room, heading back the way you came.
Where would you like to go next?

You go down the right corridor and the darkened stairs.
[after 6 seconds]
More faint lights appear in the symbols of the ceiling as you walk.
[after 12 seconds]
This area seems more untouched than the rest of the fortress.
[after 18 seconds]
After you take the last step at the end of the corridor, you see a large stone in the distance.
[after 24 seconds]
It holds the symbol you saw on the fortress banner, except this is engraved in the rock slab that is at least 10 to 15 feet high.
[after 32 seconds]
There is a small hole in the corner, and you think you can fit.

As you walk toward the table, the symbols come into view. The table is made of gray stone, with ornate etchings swirling around it.
[after 10 seconds]
You brush your fingers against the rough edges carefully. Yet you weren't careful enough. One of the jagged edges slices an opening in your hand.

"I think they're a myth,"
[after 4 seconds]
Your grandmother sighs and shakes her head.
[after 8 seconds]
"No one believes in them these days. Everyone has forgotten those they owe their protection to," your grandmother states, shaking her head, the wrinkles in her face seeming to grow deeper.
[after 18 seconds]
"Perhaps if they had made themselves known, more people would believe in them. Or you know what would be better? If they didn't fail to protect us," hisses you mother.
[after 28 seconds]
"No one is perfect. Everyone falls and makes mistakes. All that matters is if people get back up. I thought I taught you that, Elaina," says your grandmother. Your mother stops in her tracks.
[after 38 seconds]
"Tell that to the thousands of people the Empire has killed and the millions that have been enslaved. Their failure, their mistake cannot be undone," answers your mother.

[after 8 seconds]
You come up to a doorway with symbols different than those of the guardians. They make your blood turn to ice at the sight of them.
[after 16 seconds]
The symbols are angular and hold just as much power as the guardian symbols, except these fill your gut with dread and unrest.
[after 24 seconds]
The doorway is cut from dark golden stone.
[after 27 seconds]
Inside is filled with darkness, the type that makes your lungs unable to accept air, that stops your limbs from moving.

**"It's time to wake up, child,"** whispered an angelic voice in your ear. However, you couldn't place who it belonged to.
[after 4 seconds]
Your eyes opened to unfamiliar surroundings. Trees that dwarf your small frame loom over you, their branches blanketing the night sky.
[after 8 seconds]
Many of the pearl-colored stars are hidden, unlike back home, where the night sky can be for miles in every direction.
[after 12 seconds]
_Where am I? Who spoke to me?_
[after 18 seconds]
There is no one near you, and there are only the sounds of crickets and other insects. You aren't in your village. In fact, you have no idea where you are.
[after 24 seconds]
Fear slithers from the recesses of your mind. It whispers warnings of what happened to those who ran away from their masters. You hadn't meant to venture from your home, even though its cruel rulers often gave you the idea. Something told you, there were no masters here; their foreboding presence was absent.
[after 34 seconds]
Rising to your feet, you examine more of your surroundings as your eyes adjust fully to the darkness. You stood on a meager trail; it is old and partially overgrown. Only animals appear to use it now. Up ahead was a fork in the path—one towards an open field, the other towards a dark mountain in the distance. Which do you choose?

"Who is the chosen one?" you ask, sitting on the ground.
[after 8 seconds]
*"You,"* the voice states.
[after 10 seconds]
"Me? Why?"
[after 12 seconds]
*"You are one of the last ones who knows about and believes in the guardians, even if you try to tell yourself they aren't real. You are a descendent of a line of guardians that have been dormant for thousands of years. You are both human and guardian. It is your destiny to bring balance to the world once again,"*
[after 22 seconds]
"How?"
[after 24 seconds]
*"Release them. The lock on their cell has only one key, you and no one else. But beware, the demons know that someone may someday try to free them, so they placed beasts and monsters to guard them, to make sure there will never be a new dawn on the guardian empire,"*
[after 34 seconds]
"How do I get past them? I don't know how to do this,"
[after 38 seconds]
*"Be brave, and call upon your strength, the strength of your ancestors..."*
[after 39 seconds]
*"Go through the corridor to my left, and you will find an entrance to a maze that was built by the demons to hide their monsters and make it difficult to free the guardians,"*

You look down at your palm before running towards the gate and putting your hand against the gate.
[after 8 seconds]
A pulse starts vibrating the door as the symbols glow and increase in brightness.
[after 16 seconds]
The door to the room begins to splinter. You can hear the creature's claws scratching and banging at the wood.
[after 24 seconds]
Finally, the door gives way, and the creatures pile into the room, rushing towards you.
What do you do?

The door is breaking; splintered pieces hit the ground with a thud as the creatures pound their limbs against it.
[after 8 seconds]
With your mind is clouded with fear, you remove your palm from the gate and try to find an escape.
[after 16 seconds]
However, there is none. The creatures close in, and the guardians still lay dormant.

You decide to keep your hand on the gate, even if it means your death.
[after 7 seconds]
Your family and your village deserved to be free, and the demons who treated humanity as slaves would pay. You would make sure of it.
[after 17 seconds]
Little spikes prick your hand, causing you to yelp, but you stand your ground.
[after 25 seconds]
The gate continues to shake and vibrate. The demon creatures come closer to you. You can hear their limbs hitting the ground.
[after 32 seconds]
Even as fear clutched you in its jaws, you refused to take your hand off of the gate.
[after 37 seconds]
Claws sink into your back, ripping through muscle and skin, trying to remove you.
[after 43 seconds]
*"Let go, and we will give you a quick death!"* the creatures cry.
[after 47 seconds]
Tears well up in your eyes.
[after 50 seconds]
"I WILL NOT FAIL!"
[after 53 seconds]
The gate burst open, pushing you and the creatures back. You land on the ground while they hit the walls.
[after 60 seconds]
Dust and dirt flew around the room, a bright light emanating from the gate.

You crawl through the hole in the slab, pushing it slightly, and more symbols begin to glow, but this time they're far brighter.
[after 8 seconds]
The whole room lit up to show thousands of statues, if not more.
[after 12 seconds]
Each had a different face. Some were men. Some were women.
[after 17 seconds]
Some had long hair cascading down their back. Others had short hair cut close to their heads, and others had beards. Each was different heights and weights as if to match the people they resembled.
[after 24 seconds]
They all wore the same armor, with the same symbols on them. Their eyes are stern and determined.
[after 28 seconds]
_Are these the guardians?_
[after 30 seconds]
The room continued for a long time, however from what you can tell, there is only one way in and one way out, the stone slab.
[after 38 seconds]
You decide to continue exploring and go back through the hole in the slab and up the darkened stairs.
[after 46 seconds]
As you left the statue's room, the lights fade back into darkness, shrouding the figures in shadow.

You're too weak to move, stuck in place looking at the gate that you opened.

Figures appear from the gate, the light beginning to dim.
