* "A new morning, a new beginning", say the wise elders. As the sun painted the sky with a beautiful hue of blue and white, today would surely be a turning point in the life of everyone Especially Marilyn. Let's see what this universe conspired for the Chaotic but cheerful friend circle of Marilyn*

**Music recommended: Midas**

*Mr. Lucas guides the students into the shambles of the palace, which once represented the glory of the "Lyjas"
All the students breathe in awe of the gigantic structure which had ancient writings engraved in walls, railings, and even in the structures which Mr. Lucas deems as a throne

What did the writings mean? Nobody knew or Perhaps someone did*

Sofi *in a tone of curiosity* : Mari look, what are these writings? It looks like ants making shapes

Phari *laughing* : Ants? Seriously!?? That's like making fun of the mighty "Lyjas". Be thankful you are not in that era. I heard there were evidences that the Lyjas Era was majestic yet cruel

Mari: Ouh is it? I wonder whether Females had equal rights back then or were they forced into marriage or did the king had multiple wives like typical ruling families.
Woah! Take a look at this marvelous calligraphy,
It seems interesting!

Iris *Inquiring* : how come it's interesting when no one can't understand what's written?

Mari *nonchalantly* : huh? You cannot read it? Look carefully, it's written That "All Hail to Mighty Chang Lin and Noble Queen Consort Lu Xia"
Plus the calligraphy, it seems to be written with the help of reed plants in wedge like shapes. Perhaps cuneiform. Aahhh! And perhaps the inlay marble technology has been used here.

Mari: What's wrong? Guys if yall would have paid attention in history classes yall would know cunei-

Emily: Did you just now translate the text which has not been deciphered since ages? And how do you know what plant has been used to write.

*Mari's face turns white in realisation*

Mari: But I- I don-

Mr. Lucas *in a inquiring and excited tone* : Did I just now hear someone saying about translating the ancient text?
*pointing towards mari* Can you understand what's written here?

Iris *doing damage control* : No, no sir, you heard it wrong. We were-
Ouh yes We were discussing how this text hasn't been deciphered yet even though the site was discovered a long time ago. Isn't it guys?

Muisa: Yess sir. How will Mari translate it if experts couldn't? For that, she'd have to be from that era?

Mr. Lucas *acting disappointed* : You are right, this ancient script has been the work of my life, if I successfully translate it, God knows what we will find here. Perhaps a bit of magic too?
