Chapter 2 - Don't Look Back Twice

Professor Larkin's proposition ignited Ethan and Seth's curiosity and made them apprehensive. While conducting his research, Professor Larkin had found an ancient manuscript that hinted at a connection between the mysterious symbol Ethan had doodled and a long-lost civilization that was said to possess profound knowledge of evolution and the origins of life.

Excited about the possibility of uncovering ancient mysteries, Professor Larkin expressed his eagerness to return to the village, where he believed answers were waiting to be revealed. Ethan and Seth agreed to accompany him on a research expedition, pretending that they were studying the village's historical significance for their college project.

As they returned to the secluded enclave, Ethan couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched. Shadows danced at the edge of his vision, whispers of forgotten languages brushed against his ears, and the air crackled with an ancient and alive energy.

Once they arrived, they began their research, poring over ancient texts and deciphering cryptic inscriptions. Each clue they uncovered painted a picture of a civilization that had harnessed powers beyond human comprehension.

One night, as they sat around a fire, Seth expressed his feeling of deja vu, as if they had been in this moment before, uncovering secrets that were meant to stay hidden. Ethan agreed, feeling as though their memories were playing tricks on them, showing them glimpses of a past they couldn't remember.

Suddenly, a gust of wind extinguished the fire, and whispers echoed from the shadows, warning them of the dangers of the past. But their curiosity drove them forward, leading them to a hidden chamber that held the key to unlocking the truth behind their forgotten past and the dark forces lurking in the shadows.
