Creature:Dragonisk/Fiction:Ruins

''This would be my first "Fiction" on here. I think I get the idea, but I might be doing something wrong. So yeah. :)''

Ruins
I was amazed at what I saw.

Beyond Mary-Kyona, was the Ruins of some other race that had once lived on Earth.

As I slowly kicked the ashes of some city away, my clean hooves became smothered with black. I blinked- there was nothing but ashen ruins for as long as the eye could see.

"You alright, Mix?" shouted the head of the discovery team, Jyinn. I gave him a brief nod, before slowly walking towards the only structure for miles. It was on the verge of collapsing, but I couldn't help but go inside. Slowly extending my hand, I grasped the ash-covered knob on the door of the building, nearly jumping as the entire door fell beside me. I had no idea what would happen once I was inside, so I pressed a small button on my suit, activating my shield.

Just in case.

I stepped inside, half-expecting the place to fall. But nothing did. I took another couple of steps, looking around. Primitive objects could be seen, although I could hardly make out what they were. One collapsed, ashy object resembled a Dragonisk Table- but this one was broken, and made of a cheap but smooth material. Kicking the remains of a carpet-like object aside, I continued forward a few steps, then froze.

Spinning around, I noticed a tiny trap door, just barely big enough for me to fit in. Slowly, I crouched down, and skimmed the surface of the trap door with my hands. Then I grasped the edges, and easily lifted it up. It wasn't that hard, considering the hinges of the door were just about to fall apart. I poked my head into the hole, bewildered by the darkness that greeted me. Turning on my portable light, I slid into the hole, and continued down some form of stairs.

And I was amazed at what I saw.

Everything was dusty, and worn with age. But it was in a beautiful condition, compared to the other ruins I had observed with my team. A primitive machine sat a few inches from me. It was large, white, and when I opened it, I felt like I was going to vomit. Spoiled food decorated the insides of the object- dead insects piled on each one. Green slime of some sort lined each dish, and I closed it the minute I got a whiff of the smell coming from it.

So Lady Jriee was right.

There had been another race living here before us.

But what happened to them? Perhaps another race terminated them?

No... they weren't advanced enough to leave their own planet, by the looks of it.

Perhaps... they had been destroyed naturally.

I shuddered, remembering the time Captain Nakkin's Heat Ray had gone berserk, ruining my home planet, Poley.

Yes, the possibility of a Natural Extermination seemed very plausible. After all, during a few observations, we had come across meteorites of all kinds. And every ruin we examined was smothered with ashes.

I pricked my ears- my teammates we calling for me. Getting up, I slowly crawled out of the room and prepared to return to Mary-Kyona.

But I knew I would return.

And when I did, I would come immediately back to this room.

And I would discover what had destroyed the other race of Earth.

The End
