The town of Lord Gyeongju came into view, with tiled roof houses, seen over the fortified walls and several huts imposing outside of it, in stark contrast. They looked well maintained, probably the family and settlers living here thrived from the land. But now all seemed deserted.
The gates to the city were left wide open, putting on display the main street. An air of desolation was deepened by the absence of any sounds. These types of cities had music of their own, greeting the traveller from afar. The small merchants trading, children running around the street and the sound of village households kept company along all of that. Now, all was shrouded in silence.
