Temple, pillars, worshipping, sacrifice, hope … Do you know what I mean?

Well, of course you don´t because this is not the beginning of the story.

 

It all started with a ship sailing to the unknown lands … Far, far away.

Was it an escape? A quest? A quest for what? For life? For happiness? For salvation?

 

But then …

The fog, the fog was everywhere. Scary, right?

Maybe not so much for you ... because you haven’t been there.

But for me, oh God, I will never forget it!

 

No people on the ship, no one … no one alive.

No land around, nothing to see …

 

I think that you just don’t realize how terrifying the fog might be.

Once you are in it, you don´t see anything, anything at all. That’s not good, believe me...

Or maybe sometimes it´s better not to see the world around you, the reality.

 

Suddenly there was a land …

In the distance you could see an ancient temple.

Who built it? Where are they now?

We will never know.

 

The empty temple was dark and scary.

When you looked around, you could see only those huge pillars …

And imagine what happened here …

Death, lost souls, skulls …

I just ran away …

 

Ocean, I saw the ocean again …

New dreams, new hopes, I was still alive.
