As they wandered through the empty streets, they could hear the whispers of street vendors, of the carts being drawn and the animals bawling out their myriad of sounds. They kept feeling the draw and the presence of something unseen, urging them deeper within the ruins.

They approached it with baited breath and entered with reverence. All around a central altar, benches circled the entire building. Above the altar was a simple cross and a few words in the ancient tongue, etched in the stone below.


After struggling with the translations, they discovered the meaning. It read simply, "All who seek peace, may find it here". All of a sudden, they were filled with a glorious peace, that filled their entire being, and they knew that they had found the ancient God the natives had worshiped, and their own.
