Temple Entrance?

Ella had a death grip on Clark's shoulders. She was sure that he was reading things that made no sense to the rest of them. However, she also recognized some of the broken statues covered in moss and vines. Things lost to time since the violent jungle had grown around it much larger. Or at least that's what nature does. It grows. 

"Is it just me or do all of these statues look like they have longer ears and stand taller?" Maria was trying to distract Ella since it was clear that she was not letting Clark go. Mentally she told herself that this was the reason, the only reason she would be helping Clark stop Ella from touching him. 

"What!? Don't tell me you are trying to say that these are elves!? Statues of elves…" Ella felt that she was in a hurricane of ideas. Theories were too great without more information. If this was the case, then why had no one else come here.
