And so, I find myself atop a hill, overlooking the remnants of what was once a grand abbey. The sight of crumbling ruins and debris strewn about brings a certain thrill to my heart - or perhaps it's just indigestion from the questionable stew I had for lunch. Nevertheless, I press on, eager to explore these timeworn structures.
The air is thick with the scent of decay, which mingles unpleasantly with the distant calls of birds. It seems they are the only living creatures brave enough to linger in this place. My boots crunch on the rubble beneath me as I search for anything of interest amongst the dilapidated buildings.
And then, hidden from sight, I discover a flight of stairs leading deep into the earth. How delightful! Just what every adventurer longs for - an opportunity to be swallowed by darkness and mystery. With a sigh that could only be described as enthusiastic, I make my way towards it. After all, one must always keep moving forward, even if it means descending into certain peril.
