Speaker 1: Well, well, well, look, who's back again for more inner
Speaker 1: galactic chaos. Welcome to episode two of The Insentiment ser
Speaker 1: The Awakening Beneath the Ruins. I'm your resident cosmic guide,
Speaker 1: the one and only Sir Recapalot, here to get you
Speaker 1: hyped for what's about to go down. And trust me, folks,
Speaker 1: you're not ready for this one. Our heroes Rylex and
Speaker 1: Salmont are heading deeper into the bad lands. You know
Speaker 1: that place where shadows creep and sanity checks out?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: That one. But wait, it gets better. There is a
Speaker 1: mysterious ruin filled with secrets older than the stars. And
Speaker 1: let me tell you those secrets. They're not whispering, they're shouting.
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert, it's probably not friendly. Will Rylex finally embrace
Speaker 1: his destiny? Will Salmont figure out that carrying the team
Speaker 1: is not the same as carrying emotional baggage, and most importantly,
Speaker 1: what ancient force is stirring beneath those ruins. Buckle up, friends,
Speaker 1: because this episode has everything, high stakes, ancient mysteries, and
Speaker 1: just the right amount of what the heck did I
Speaker 1: just witness? Ready, let's dive in this place.
Speaker 3: It feels alive and yet so empty.
Speaker 4: It's a good reminder, Lex, a reminder of what we're
Speaker 4: fighting for.
Speaker 3: Do you think we'll find what we're looking for? Or
Speaker 3: will it find us?
Speaker 4: Don't be scared, Relex with my covenant band will handle
Speaker 4: whatever comes our way.
Speaker 5: Salmont, Look at that? Is that the White House? It's real,
Speaker 5: It's more than real. It's a relic of what we're
Speaker 5: fighting for.
Speaker 3: I think the President's still home.
Speaker 4: If they are, they always an explanation for this mass.
Speaker 4: I mean, where are the tax dollars going? Rylex? What
Speaker 4: is this?
Speaker 6: Sorry?
Speaker 4: I didn't mean to You're like a bull in a
Speaker 4: china shop. Be careful.
Speaker 3: We the people?
Speaker 4: Is this a constitution or what's left of it?
Speaker 3: They must have believed in something bigger than themselves.
Speaker 4: Just like us. Come on, let's keep moving.
Speaker 3: Do you think we'll ever know what really happened here?
Speaker 4: Maybe, but it won't change where we're going.
Speaker 3: It's kind of sad though, all this forgotten.
Speaker 4: Not forgotten, just waiting for someone to remember.
Speaker 7: With the White House fading into the distance, they continued
Speaker 7: their journey. The beacon pulse steadily, it's rhythm, guiding them
Speaker 7: ever forward into the unknown.
Speaker 6: This is a mistake, Ryles and Salmont should never have
Speaker 6: been chosen. They are weak and unworthy of this task.
Speaker 8: Your grievances are noted, Quinterras, but the selection was not
Speaker 8: made slightly.
Speaker 6: Not made lightly. Look at me. I have dedicated my
Speaker 6: life to Islama, mastering its secrets, perfecting myself despite my flaws,
Speaker 6: and you choose them children with no grasp of what
Speaker 6: is at stake. I am the one destined to lead,
Speaker 6: the one destined to rise above. You kept me here
Speaker 6: in jew You chose to let me remain because you
Speaker 6: see what I am capable of.
Speaker 8: Quinteras. You are indeed unique. Your determination is commendable. But
Speaker 8: it is not will alone that guides the beacon's light.
Speaker 8: It is purpose, unity, and the unseen threads of fate.
Speaker 6: Fate. Don't lecture me about fate. I am more than fate.
Speaker 6: I am the next great beacon of Hilma. I will
Speaker 6: rival King solomonte himself. Do you hear me? I will
Speaker 6: surpass the Founder's legacy.
Speaker 8: The founder, King salomonte knew that greatness is not achieved
Speaker 8: through ambition alone. It is through sacrifice, humility, and understanding
Speaker 8: what lies beyond one's own desires. You would do well
Speaker 8: to remember.
Speaker 6: That and yet it was his ambition that made him
Speaker 6: a legend.
Speaker 8: And it was his humidity that ensured his legacy endured.
Speaker 8: Be cautious, Quintus. Greatness without wisdom is a flame that
Speaker 8: consumes everything it touches.
Speaker 6: They will fail, and when they knew, you will see
Speaker 6: the truth. I am Hiloma's future.
Speaker 8: The future is not for you to decide, Quintius. It
Speaker 8: is for you to serve. Remember that.
Speaker 2: Alone.
Speaker 7: Once more, box pulsed softly, its vast intelligence processing the
Speaker 7: threads of what.
Speaker 2: Was to come.
Speaker 9: The jeez, they are saying, to the tune of a song,
Speaker 9: and the wind is gently ringing the bell, The rings
Speaker 9: the morning, the welcome of the dawn.
Speaker 7: The Ohio stretched before them like a graveyard of memories.
Speaker 7: Once teeming with life, it was now a wasteland of
Speaker 7: crumbling buildings, cracked highways, and nature reclaiming what humanity had abandoned.
Speaker 3: It's hard to believe this used to be a city.
Speaker 4: People lived here, worked here, laughed here.
Speaker 3: Now it's just gone, like everything else.
Speaker 4: Stay alert. This place isn't as empty as it looks.
Speaker 5: You think the ghosts of Ohio we are gonna jump
Speaker 5: out and get us.
Speaker 4: Not ghosts scavengers, wild packs, things we haven't even thought
Speaker 4: of yet.
Speaker 8: Soon someone will.
Speaker 2: Welcome of the dog.
Speaker 3: Do you think this is what it'll all look like someday?
Speaker 4: Everything? I mean, maybe if we fail.
Speaker 3: We're trying to fix something we didn't even break. It
Speaker 3: doesn't seem fair.
Speaker 4: It's not fair. But that doesn't mean we get to stop.
Speaker 7: The weight of the mission pressing down on both of them.
Speaker 7: Sam once a gaze was steady, but the tension in
Speaker 7: his jaw betrayed his own doubts.
Speaker 6: The warm days.
Speaker 9: They are not forever gone, That the does rings, and
Speaker 9: that the summer rains. The ball before beloved the dogs comes, bling,
Speaker 9: rings them on the down they lad is calling.
Speaker 5: Do you ever feel like like we're being watched every second.
Speaker 3: Some month? Do you ever wonder if we're chasing a
Speaker 3: ghost something that isn't even real?
Speaker 4: I wonder about a lot of things, but not that
Speaker 4: we've seen too much for this to be a ghost.
Speaker 4: It's real, Ryles, and so are we.
Speaker 7: The roads stretched on their shadows, long and distorted under
Speaker 7: the fading sun. With every step, the silence grew heavier,
Speaker 7: broken only by the occasional groan of a collapsing structure.
Speaker 7: Or the distant cry of some unseen creature. As the
Speaker 7: night descended, they set up camp by a river. The
Speaker 7: fire cast flickering shadows across their faces, and the stars
Speaker 7: above burned brightly, silent witnesses to the unspoken tension between them.
Speaker 3: Do you ever miss it? The way things used to be?
Speaker 4: Every day? But missing it won't bring it back. All
Speaker 4: we can do is keep moving forward.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I feel like I'm not strong enough for this.
Speaker 4: You are, You're stronger than you think, Rylex, I see
Speaker 4: it every day.
Speaker 7: The closeness between them grew heavy, their breath mingling in
Speaker 7: the cool night air. But before either could speak, a
Speaker 7: growl shattered the moment.
Speaker 4: What was that stay close to me?
Speaker 7: From the shadows emerged a wolf dog, high bred creature,
Speaker 7: its glowing eyes locked onto them with predatory intent. It
Speaker 7: moved with terrifying grace, its low growl vibrating the beast lunges,
Speaker 7: a feral snarl erupting as it pins Rylecs to the ground.
Speaker 7: Calls tore into the earth around Drylys. As he struggled,
Speaker 7: His cries of fear mingled with the creature's snarls. Some
Speaker 7: to wasted time.
Speaker 4: Hold on, I've got you.
Speaker 7: The covenant Man activates a humbuilding to a deafening crescendo,
Speaker 7: before releasing a blinding surge of energy. As silence fell,
Speaker 7: somewhat rushed to Relex's aside.
Speaker 4: Are you okay? Did it hurt you?
Speaker 3: I'm fine thanks to you. I don't know what I'd
Speaker 3: do without you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you'll never have to find out.
Speaker 7: For a moment, they sat frozen in the dim light
Speaker 7: of the fire. Their eyes were inches apart, and in
Speaker 7: the silence, their eyes spoke with their words could not.
Speaker 7: Relex reached up his hand, brushing against Salmon's cheek. The
Speaker 7: distance between them disappeared as they kissed, tentative at first,
Speaker 7: but growing deeper with each pressing second. It was a
Speaker 7: kiss that held everything fear, oh love, and the promise
Speaker 7: of the future they would fight to protended under the
Speaker 7: stars amidst the chaos of their world, Rilex and Salmon
Speaker 7: found a moment of peace, and in that moment they
Speaker 7: knew they would face whatever came next together.
Speaker 10: It's gone saved, it's gone making.
Speaker 7: Their journey led them southward through the rolling hills of
Speaker 7: Kentucky and verdant valleys of Tennessee. Each step a bridge
Speaker 7: between the past and the present, a path littered with
Speaker 7: silent tributes to a world that once thrived. They moved
Speaker 7: through ancient forests and along winding rivers, the glow of
Speaker 7: their beacon slicing through the echoing darkness, while the stars
Speaker 7: above offered faint, eternal guidance.
Speaker 5: You think this is what Huck and Jim saw, a
Speaker 5: sky like this with nothing but the river and the
Speaker 5: trees around them. Huck Finn, I can't believe you're bringing
Speaker 5: that up now. What we had to read it in school.
Speaker 5: It's a classic. You didn't like it, It was all right,
Speaker 5: but you know it's funny how you always liked the
Speaker 5: stories where people run away from home.
Speaker 3: I guess I thought it sounded freeing.
Speaker 5: Now look at us, not running away, just running maybe,
Speaker 5: but surrunning together.
Speaker 3: This place is massive. It's like stepping into another world.
Speaker 4: It kind of is.
Speaker 5: This place has been here for millions of years, long
Speaker 5: before us. Makes everything we're doing feel small.
Speaker 4: Not small, just part of something bigger. You think old
Speaker 4: Huckleberry ever ended up in a place like this.
Speaker 5: Not unless someone added a cave chapter. I don't remember.
Speaker 5: But he was always searching, wasn't he for freedom for
Speaker 5: something better.
Speaker 4: Maybe that's all any of us are doing, just searching.
Speaker 3: Do you think we'll find it that freedom?
Speaker 4: Think we'll find something. Might not be what we expect,
Speaker 4: but we'll find it.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I wonder if I'm strong enough for this.
Speaker 4: You are. You don't even see it, but you're stronger
Speaker 4: than anyone I've ever met.
Speaker 3: You really think so? I know. So what's that?
Speaker 4: Looks like an amusement park? Dolly would guess this is
Speaker 4: where we're stopping for the night.
Speaker 7: The park wasn't just a ruin. It was a memory,
Speaker 7: a fragment of a world they were fighting to protect.
Speaker 7: The bus was a relic of the old world, its
Speaker 7: rusted exterior blending into the overgrowth that had claimed the
Speaker 7: amusement park. Inside, the worn seats and faded upholstery told
Speaker 7: stories of countless journeys long past. Now it was their refuge,
Speaker 7: a fragile barrier against the wilderness that pressed in on
Speaker 7: all sides. The beacon rested between them, its rhythmic pulse
Speaker 7: the only thing breaking the stillness. The kiss they had
Speaker 7: shared lingered unspoken in the air, an invisible thread tying
Speaker 7: them closer together.
Speaker 5: You think this place was fun back when it wasn't
Speaker 5: this Dollywood.
Speaker 4: I bet it was wild, rollercoasters, music, fried food. Probably
Speaker 4: the kind of place you'd hate.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and what kind of place would you think?
Speaker 4: I'd like?
Speaker 5: Something quiet, boring, a library. Maybe you're not wrong, but
Speaker 5: I don't know. There's something about this place now. It's sad, yeah,
Speaker 5: but it's still beautiful. It's weird, isn't it feeling happy here?
Speaker 4: It's not weird. It's rare, and rare things are worth
Speaker 4: holding on to.
Speaker 7: The Next morning, the sunlight streamed through the tattered sheets
Speaker 7: covering the windows, filling the bus with a soft golden glow.
Speaker 7: Salmont stirred first, his hand brushing the beacon as he
Speaker 7: sat up. The other side of the bus was empty.
Speaker 4: Rylex.
Speaker 7: Salmon's heart raced as he searched. He found Rylex in
Speaker 7: the chapel, seated in the front pew, bathed in the
Speaker 7: kaleidoscopic light streaming through the shattered stained glass.
Speaker 4: You can't do that, Rylex, Okay, you can't disappear like that.
Speaker 3: I didn't disappear. I just needed a minute.
Speaker 4: A minute. You scared the hell out of me.
Speaker 3: Were you scared for me?
Speaker 4: Of course I was scared for you. I don't know
Speaker 4: what I would do if I lost you.
Speaker 3: Salmont, You're not going to lose me. I'm here and
Speaker 3: I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 7: That night, Salmont led Rylex to the heart of the park.
Speaker 3: Salmont, seriously, what are you doing?
Speaker 4: You'll see just.
Speaker 7: Trust me, his hands covering Rylex's eyes. The air buzzed
Speaker 7: faintly with energy, the park's dormant systems stirring to life.
Speaker 3: You got this thing working.
Speaker 4: Took me all day, but yeah, I remember the days.
Speaker 7: They rode it over and over, their laughter breaking the
Speaker 7: stillness of the park like a beacon of life. For
Speaker 7: a few hours, the weight of the world lifted, and
Speaker 7: they were just two young men chasing joy in the
Speaker 7: ruins of the past. The ride slows. They're breathing soft
Speaker 7: as they look out over the park from the top
Speaker 7: of the track.
Speaker 3: This feels like how it should have been.
Speaker 4: Maybe, but this right now is ours.
Speaker 7: Wrapped in blankets in the safety of the bus, they
Speaker 7: fell asleep, side by side, their breathing steady and synchronized,
Speaker 7: but the park was not asleep. The surge of power
Speaker 7: had awakened something deep within, and from the shadows eyes
Speaker 7: watched the laughter, The light the life. They had disturbed,
Speaker 7: something that had been restless for centuries. They have awakened
Speaker 7: something that should have remained sleeping.
Speaker 2: And you see them, God, and you smell them.
Speaker 5: It is time.
Speaker 2: They have got to take what is ours. They are
Speaker 2: unworthy and we will eradicate them from our lands.
Speaker 1: And there you have it, folks, another whirlwind adventure in
Speaker 1: the books, The Awakening Beneath the Ruins, an episode packed
Speaker 1: with cosmic intrigue, ancient revelations, and just a pinch of
Speaker 1: good old fashioned danger. Did it leave you breathless?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Me too.
