Finally, after weeks of travel, Samantha arrived at the entrance of the lost city. It was even more magnificent than she had imagined, with towering temples and sprawling palaces carved out of the stone.
But as she explored the city, Samantha began to realize that it was not entirely deserted. Strange creatures lurked in the shadows, and ancient traps lay hidden in every corner.
