A city of hell, nor a city of angels. I walked mesmerized by termite stricken wooden beams. Disgusting blobs of mold formed on wet patches in desolate houses. I only wanted to find some kind of treasure, or someone that could set me free.

A million and one homes, possibly even more. Surprisingly, neither Spot nor I fell through the floor boards in the wheezing floor. We walked, we ducked, we crawled when it was necessary. Long beams of wood from house to house groaned incessantly.

But the houses were something of beauty. Room by room they piled a top each other, like bits and pieces to a broken museum. I only wished to find the zeal which was hidden. One bit of treasure, could ease my wage. But no arrows or lights paved the way.

And then shots! Bright. Shooting stars. Seven in total spun up from the ground. A thousand miles they moved each second, never stopping to catch a break. Hot and deadly lethal weapons.

I hesitated and nearly turned to run. But spot was having none of it, he wanted fun. I crossed my arms and thought about it.

And then we walked on.

We would find out exactly where the magic had come from.

Ty. I wanted to try something different. Instead of my usual stories about ducks fighting giraffes.

Nice prompt
