The sun was low in the sky when the wall of the sect loomed over them. Lind took in the pale stone and could not immediately identify it.
It also felt weird to him. Refined stone, while varying in effects and quality, generally felt familiar to him, but the current one was odd.
He stopped the carriage well shy of the entrance and simply stared at the wall. The 2 girls did not interrupt him. He stepped down and heard a strange crunch when his feet touched down.
He looked down and did not see loose gravel, but bone!
He knelt down and carefully felt the smoothed over bones and realized they had been broken not by tools, but by time. Why?
Why lay out bone fragments near their entrance?
He slowly tilted his head and saw the vibrantly growing plants along the edge before narrowing his eyes. The herbs were not rare but usually found around death pits or a mass death event caused by a beast tide.
