>>6202922>>6203154>>6202984It's a bit of a clamber to get to the clearing where the temple once was. Some of the gravel is loose but on the flip side there are chunks of shattered concrete embedded in the landscape that you're able to use for handhold or catching your breath. Some of the etch-a-sketch like gouges left by the Rampart actually form hand natural hand and foot hold also.
You peer through the residual smoke and the night air. The moon gives you enough light for it to be safe but there is a greyness to it all. You're somewhat grateful that the burning cordite smells stronger than the burning bodies, a few of which are already in view. You turn them over, but if they were carrying anything of value it's all been destroyed. Burned to a thin, greasy ash.
You step into a clearing of relatively flat earth, there is a steep path down towards the beach and what may have once been steps, or a ramp leading up to the temple and what is left of the lighthouse. It's a relatively high place on the island and in the long, long distance you can see the SIlver Lining (you think). Maybe the shadows towards the temple move but you can't be sure.
