First move

The moon lit the path to the forest's entrance. Old stone steps greeted them, but their eyes couldn't go farther into the darkness than the last of them.

A small stone monument was beside the steps. It was difficult to see, but there were two figures carved in the base: a couple. The woman could be seen easily, but the figure of the man was violently broken. They seemed to be guarding a tablet with an old inscription.

( Even with the little light the moon provided, it was easy to read... )
