Finn’s POV:
“Come on Carlos!” I yelled at my best friend.
”I’m coming, just let m rest a second.” Carlos replied, breathing heavily.
Carlos Capen is my best friend and is a honey badger faunus.
“Well hurry up, I really want to check out this ruin before it gets dark.” I tell him.
*You do realize that this ruin is extremely dangerous, right?* Author asks me.
[Yes and that is why I’m going.] I tell Author.
*You are one weird kid you know that?* Author says.
”Hey Carlos, you coming or will I get the treasure by myself?” I ask Carlos.
”No, I’m coming just give me a second. You’re to fast for me.” Carlos tells me after catching up.
By the way, we are currently in the middle of a forest heading towards a ruin that I found a couple of days ago.
30 minutes later...
”We made it!” I scream.
The ruins look almost like a temple but... ruined. There’s moss growing on the walls that’s are still standing.

*Imagine the statues as Lamia.* Author ramdomly says.
[What was that Author?] I ask, more than slightly confused.
*Oh, nothing I was talking to someone elsewhere* Author says mysteriously.
[Ok, you confuse me.] I say.
“Woah.” Carlos whispers.
“I know right?” I also whisper, “Let’s go in!”
I start running towards the entrance.
”Ah! Wait for me!” Carlos yells while running after me.
Once inside I see stairs going downward and I start walking towards them. After I get to them bottom I see three pedestals: the right one has a weird looking shield on it, the left one as some kind of spear on it, and the the middle one has a rock.
”Huff...huff... I finally caught up to you.” Carlos says, clearly out of breath.
”Carlos’s let’s grab those.” I say pointing at the pedestals.
“What?”
”Those, you idiot. You grab the spear and I’ll grab the shield.” I say hitting the back of husband head.
”Ok” he said.
I walk over to the pedestal with the shield and pick it up. It’s the size of a buckler and has a gauntlet attached to it.
”It’s so weird looking.” I say in wonder, “What happens if I put it on?”
I put it on and after my hand is all the way in the gauntlet my finger gets pricked.
“Ow!” I yell out surprised.
The shield starts changing and becomes a ring on my finger. I start pulling on it to try and get it off.
”I can’t get this thing off! What’s going on here?!” I scream, starting to get scared.
*Calm down Finn. It’s not gonna hurt you.* Author says in a reassuring tone.
I finally stop pulling and look over to the rock.
‘I don’t know why but I feel attached to it.’
I move over to the rock and touch it.
‘Smooth!’
I take the rock because I can’t bear to leave it behind.
”Cmon Carlos let’s get home!” I say.
“Oh, ok" Carlos replied startled.
