Tricked

"What the hell is this?" Kanaria gasped. 

Melody hurriedly checked the radar, finding no sign of life. "No one is there." 

"…" Clovis's expression turned grim. Was there really a civilization in the past? Or was this place built only recently? 

"I will be going down. Melody will follow me and Kanaria is to observe from this place and call Jay here." 

"Alright." Kanaria nodded. Although she wanted to go down as well, Melody was much better assistant than her in this scenario. 

So, only Clovis and Melody climbed down the stairs. Clovis's sword remained on his hand in case he found something unexpected. 

"There are still no sign of life here," said Melody while maintaining a close look at the radar.

Once they reached the bottom, Clovis pointed the flashlight to the village and turned it on, illuminating the entire village.
