Inside, the temple was more dilapidated than the last saw time they it. Although the energy storm did not totally destroy the temple, it had apparently inflicted severe damage with its great force: a large number of decorative columns had collapsed in the vestibule, the crests over the corridor had fallen and cracks were all over the exquisite reliefs on the facades of the temple. Additionally, some of the glass-like areas ravaged by the energy storm had melted and solidified.
Hessiana found a large hole in front of the temple—the one they escaped through earlier. It proved that this was the cloud temple they had visited the last time. But, it was not in the sky this time. It was half-buried in the mountain they were standing on at the moment. Only the front portion of the temple protruded out while the rear portion was planted in the mountain; there were no signs of impact or cracks where the temple met the mountain. It looked like they both grew together in one body.
