Lets goo! Two in one week, ya never saw it coming! I got a song recommendation for this chapter, but don't start listening to it till they enter the monument, its Pokémon fire red and Leaf green's Lavender town theme. It goes perfect for the vibe I'm trying to capture.

The group was flying over the now, non-snow-covered evergreen trees, making their way south.

"We should be getting close, the map shows that it should be near the lake past the hills," Glacier told the group, "It's right on the border between the Sand Kingdom and the Ice Kingdom.

The hills slowly turned from an evergreen forest to a mix of rocks and gravel.

"Weird place for there to be a historical monument..." Turtle murmured.

"I am not sure why they put it here either..." Glacier said.

The group flew over the next set of rocky hills, and it was pretty easy to see it. The monument was large, but not overly so. It was a large round building that was covered in brush, vines, and it was cracked all over the stone pillars.

"I have never seen anything like this..." Starflight said in aw, looking at the historic structure, "Does this place have a name?"

Glacier shook her head, "If it did, it was lost during the Darkstalker era.

The group made their way down, landing on the gravel-covered ground that was around the monument.

Peril let out some fire to burn away the brush that was in the way of the path to the monument.

Glacier walked up to the palace looking around, "It is going to take years to repair this place to its formal state," she said while looking at all the cracks in the walls and pillars.

The rest of the group make their way up the stairs that lead into the monument, burning any plants, or brush that got in their way.

The inside was in much better shape, plant life not consuming everything. The inside of the monument was actually in good shape, the only problem with it was that dust was everywhere, making the air have a stale smell.

It was getting darker and darker as they went along, so Peril made her body heat up to where she was glowing, not having to worry about the floor since it was a stone floor.

Everybody was looking at the assortment of items that were around them in wonder, not recognizing any of them. There were multiple items that were up for display on pedestals.

Starflight looked over to the queen, "May I please look around?" he asked her with a pleading look.

She gave him a nod, "Just don't break anything,"

Starflight quickly ran off, looking at and studying all the items around him.

Clay just chuckled at the frantic Starflight, "Queen Glacier, I can feel the earth around me, and I can tell this place has multiple rooms, may we go look around also?"

Glacier nodded again, "Before you guys leave, can you make me a torch so we can study the place?"

Peril ripped out one of the few pieces of brush in the monument and lit the top of it on fire, handing it over to the queen before walking off with Clay to one of the other rooms.

Clay and Peril were chatting with each other, "So what do you think of this place so far?" Clay asked his girlfriend.

"Like nothing I have seen so far in our travels, this place looks completely different from every other tribe's type of architecture," Peril said while looking around.
