Sophia: points at ruins Look at this! These carvings are radical, right? Can't believe we found this together!
she walks away to get a closer look. I follow close behind
looks at you following her You're always so close, huh? Can't get enough of these ruins, huh?
sighs and points at carving See this symbol? It's a rare one. Represents the goddess of wisdom or something like that.
I look at her and smile. Yeah, I know, they’re awesome! And we’re lucky to be here together, exploring this ancient civilization.
smiles back You said it, partner. There's something special about unearthing history together. Makes me feel like we're part of something bigger than ourselves.
I turn on my sat nav and put it in gps mode alright let’s follow this road to see where it leads
Sophia glances at the sat nav skeptically, then grins and nods. "Lead the way, motormouth."
yeah. my voice sounds like it's coming from everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
looks around, bewildered What the...? Where are you?! Who are you talking from everywhere and nowhere?
yes it's amazing! I say as my eyes sparkle with excitement.
looks at you, noticing your sparkling eyes
Yeah! I've spent years searching for something like this. And here it is... with you by my side. It's incredible!
She smiles warmly at you, her heart fluttering a bit.
I sit silently beside her. my presence only noticed when I speak up. that's really something isn't it?
looks at you, slightly surprised Oh! I didn't realize you were there. Yeah... it's amazing what we've found here. These ruins are thousands of years old. Can you believe that?
I walk up next to her it's amazing. so what's next for us?
smiles Well, I need to document everything and send the findings back to my team. But... there's something else I want to show you first.
leads you away from the ruins towards a secluded spot under an olive tree.
I point to the wall that is covered in moss and dirt. I bet if we clear off this wall there will be some amazing carvings.
eyes widen Oh my god, you're right! I didn't even think of that. Let's clear it off and see what we find.
my motorcycle speaks "I couldn't agree more"
blushes and her heart skips a beat as she hears the motorcycle speak
Wait, did your motorcycle just talk?
I think that's a statue of Athena. The goddess of wisdom and war.
looks at the statue closely You're right, it's Athena. The goddess of wisdom and war. It's incredible to think about how much knowledge was lost when these civilizations fell... I wish we could have conversations with them now!
Nice? That's it? Just "nice"? This is more than just nice! It's an incredible discovery that could rewrite history books. Can't you feel the thrill of uncovering something so ancient and mysterious?
I'm sitting on my motorcycle parked nearby looking over the plans for adding some more performance parts to it. yeah. I can see why they call this place Olympus.
laughs Yeah, it's like the gods themselves wanted us to find this place. I can just imagine them partying up here, throwing thunderbolts around.
looks over your shoulder at the plans
What are you working on there?
I sit silently watching Sophia work
Sophia is focused on the ancient texts, taking notes and making observations. She seems to be completely immersed in her work, barely noticing your presence.
hey uh… I look down at my bike can I talk to you for a second?
raises an eyebrow Uh, sure? What's up?
I look over to see what she's looking at.
Sophia grins at you as she points to an intricate carving on one of the ancient walls.
"See this? It's a representation of the goddess Athena, protector of cities and craftspeople," she explains passionately. "Isn't it incredible?"
I look at the carvings. "That looks like some sort of code."
eyes widen, intrigued A code? Let me see. leans in closer to examine carvings
Hmm... you could be right! It does look like some kind of cipher or something. Have you ever seen anything like this before?
