We decided to hop onto the next bus leaving. Somewhere along the journey, the bus' engine started sputtering, then came to a complete stop. Everyone was told to get out of the bus. There were mechanics coming, but they would take at least the entire day to come. Catherine and I decided to explore. The bus drivertold us we were in an ancient city named Troezen. The city was in ruins, but still beautiful. We walked, talking, before arriving at a temple at the top of a cliff, overlooking the Ocean. Most of it was still standing. It was huge and radiated a sort of majestic power. I could hear the waves crashinh below and as I stood there, a sort of tranquility came over me.
"Do you think it's safe to go inside?" Catherine whispered.
"Probably" I whispered back. I had no idea why we were whispering, but my best guess was that Catherine could feel the aura too. I started towards the temple but Catherine held me back.
" Are you seriously going in there?" She asked.
I nodded, and motioned for her to follow me. But she shook her head.  So I headed into the temple, alone.
