The Builders

I am busy working on constructing my city in the desert, when I see a small, obsidian tower on top of a small hill in the distance. I immediately think "What is this, I haven't seen it before? why is there a random obsidian pile off in the distance?"

As I walk closer to it, I realize there is a chest on the top of it. Again I think "did someone hide their stuff in here? This would be the most stupid place to hide stuff."

When I finally walk up close to it, I open the chest and see nothing in it. I wonder "what could the purpose for this possibly be? Did someone from my nation build this?"

I shiver and return to my city to continue building; the structure is in the freezing snow right next to the warm desert of my nation. I intend to research this further, but for now I need to focus on finishing constructing my city.

The letters at the top of the Obolisk had been scored from the rock by someone who came before. As it was approached however, Whispers came from the stone none the less. Hovering around it like a fog.

"Where are the builders?"

But the shape that had approached was already walking away before anything could be heard. So it waited.
