With a dramatic thud I landed on a dirt road looking perfectly fine. I was dazed looking around I found evergreen groves of olive trees, grand white marble buildings and people dressed in tunics.

This must mean I landed in... Ancient Gre...

" Get off the road!" a white bearded man yelled, his mule brayed in distress as his cart pulled to a halt.

Before he hopped off his mule to come running after me and hit me with his wooden walking stick I ran up onto a ledge overviewing a city where I caught sight of farmers herding their livestock, great white marble buildings being constructed by many figures in white and out towards the ocean fisherman hurled up an abundance of freshly caught seafood.

I looked down and tried to find a path leading into the city. Instead there was a long drop, dirt and rocks crumbled into the dark pit. I stepped back and found myself with a girl in my skinny arms. She seemed to resembled someone I've met... the girl from the cellar. She leaped forward and dusted her tunic which was the shade of the most exquisite aqua you could find, it was faintly embroidered with gems of silver.
