The ancient Sage City was shrouded in an eerie silence.
The streets were deserted, and while the majestic buildings still stood, they had lost their former vitality and bustling spirit. A gentle breeze swept past, stirring up only a layer of sand and dust that tumbled and danced in mid-air. The windows and doors stood unlatched, yet time seemed to have frozen here. Vines crawled over the walls, and the prosperity of the past was buried by the passage of years.
A faint aura of death permeated the alleys and thoroughfares, as though this place had been forgotten by the world for ages.
