Makings of an empire (2)

Aleks was pleased with what he saw as the horde neared what appeared a town under construction. When Aleks originally left the valley, many servants, laborers and slaves had been left behind to begin construction on a new city. This would be the capital of Aleks's future empire and it was also the spiritual resting place of the Tower of Babel. Although this world was no longer the exact same world he once lived in, it was still his world in essence. The Tower of Babel, which the denizens of his world had thought was a scientific marvel, was in fact not entirely built through scientific principles. Even Aleks hadn't been aware that at that time, there was more to the Tower of Babel then he ever imagined.
