A man standing in front of a gate in a dark forest

$As the sun dips below the horizon, its dying light casts long shadows across the forgotten valley. A chill wind whispers through the gnarled branches of ancient, watchful trees, carrying with it the faint scent of incense and decay. You find yourself standing at the threshold of a temple, its origins lost to time, its purpose shrouded in enigma. The temple ruins rise from the earth like the skeletal remains of a once-mighty beast. Vines and moss cling to the fractured stone, nature's relentless grip attempting to reclaim the hallowed ground. The architecture is an amalgamation of various styles, suggesting that the temple has been built and rebuilt across countless generations, each leaving their mark upon its storied facade. An unsettling silence pervades the air, broken only by the occasional crack of stone as the ruins settle into the twilight. The entrance is flanked by two colossal statues, their features worn smooth by the passage of time, yet their eyes—empty sockets though they may be—seem to follow your every move, guardians of the secrets held within. Stepping across the threshold, the ground beneath you is a mosaic of broken tiles, each piece a fractured memory of the temple's glorious past. The central pathway, lined with the remnants of columns and archways, leads to the heart of the ruins—the altar. The altar itself is a monolith of dark stone, untouched by the decay that has claimed the rest of the temple. It is clear that this is no relic; the surface is polished to a sheen, the edges sharp and precise. Upon it, fresh offerings of fruit and flowers lie alongside smoldering incense, the smoke curling upwards in ghostly tendrils, as if carrying silent prayers to the gods that have long since abandoned this place.
