As the sun set over Milford, Vector finally made up his mind to explore the newly unearthed ruins under his house.

As he walked through the docks in the twilight, his gait lightened with the long-forgotten taste of adventure. The salty sea breeze whistled a quaint tune that almost seemed fond to his ears when he turned down the unused muddy path into the forest.

He hesitated at the cavern entrance, prepping his magic to open the heavy oak doors. The intricate engravings that adorned the piece lit up with the tiny ball of Aetherian magicules. Was he truly ready? He idly thought to himself as the doors slowly creaked open, just as predicted.

The ruins, or _Halcyon Court_ as he liked to call it, was an ancient city carved into the bulk of the Estrella mountains. He stumbled upon one of the entrances when he moved into a new house at Milford and immediately recognized that it was a relic from a time long gone.

The energy that he imbued into the magic circle seemingly caused a chain reaction in the complex structure of the city. He swore that there was the sound of moving gears and levers in the background. Looking into the distance, the city almost seemed alive again, the machinery supporting life here running automatically. He reminded himself mentally to bring a few antiques back for Caine to examine.

The air was surprisingly dust-free as he ventured further into the city, the Aether glimmering in the energized air.

He stuck his hand into a fountain, the cool liquid running through his fingers helping to calm down his excited mind. Looking up, the ceiling of the marble colosseum stared down at him in all its majestic beauty, the name _Halcyon Court _wandering into his mind again.

He decided that keeping this discovery a secret for the mean while would be nice.
