He pauses. He expected Lethe to know... but seems to know just about as much as him.

"You said this was from a place once lost."

One civilization comes to mind, along with Mercury's tales of her own ancient civilization prior to mankind.

The Spartan steps forward -- when the entire desert around the ruins begins to drain, but refraining itself from even taking the human or the senshi. It all seems to drain around a gleaming, massive sphere at least a hundred meters wide. Around it, several inert figures with seemingly detached limbs await, taller than the Spartan.

He takes a tentative step towards the silvery mass. He expects to sink, but the sand holds his weight. Every further step he takes towards the sunken artifact is held with a supernatural strength, acting as stairs as the silvery sands of every abandoned step get back in place. Not a grain of it clings to his metallic feet.

The area around the massive sphere glows to his eyes, but not as much as Lethe.

Forerunner.
