Memoirs of Kitty Siam - Statues and Obelisks.
Fascinating race, the Weeping Angels. The only psychopaths in the universe to kill you nicely. - The Doctor
We left the small village early in the morning and began following the road that led from the village. The road showed signs of not being used in the same manner as the stone path we had followed the day before. The island was much larger than I had originally thought and when the noon hour came we were still walking the road and from our current location, there was no end in sight.
We made a rest stop in a grove of fruit bearing trees and ate our fill of what tasted like pears and apples. It was not the meat that my body was craving but it was filling and the natural sugars gave us both enough of an energy boost to allow us to resume our journey.
We continued on until the late afternoon when we stopped again for refreshment. We decided that we would go a few more hours and if we found nothing by then we would stop somewhere safe for the night. Throughout the day we had passed a few small lone standing houses in what were now over grown fields. At one time these structures had probably belonged to family farmers and the fields surrounding the houses were once fertile farmland.
The sun was close to the horizon and would be setting in an hour or so, that is when we spotted a small structure in the distance, and we quickly agreed that we would stop there for the night. This rammed earth house was in similar disrepair as the one that we had stayed in the previous night, but unlike that one, this house only had one floor. There were no room dividers and the living areas, kitchen, dining area were in the same room.
Like we did the previous day, Ressa cleaned the kitchen while I went out and ran down dinner. It did not take me long to ambush a flock of birds that somewhat resembled a turkey, and snag one in my claws for dinner. I gave the bird to Ressa and she cooked it over the fire that she has built while I was out hunting. She was becoming quite the little housewife I thought as I watched her work in the kitchen. Perhaps she had missed her true calling, as she seemed to be a better housewife then she was a spy.
The evening was uneventful and we both slept well after a long day of walking, and when morning came we washed up in a nearby stream then hit the road again. As we walked the road yesterday we were walking over fairly level ground, but this morning the road was leading us to a group of low rolling hills. The road avoided the hills and snaked its way around them and then opened up again into a flat plain. As soon as we rounded the last hill we could see a small city in the center of the plain surrounded by low hills on all sides. Rising up from the center of the city was what appeared to be a man made hill or pyramid with a flat top that contained a white structure that looked like it was a temple of some sort.
Once we cleared the hills it was not long before we came to the first of many pure white marble statues that lined the road. At first the statues were spaced about a hundred feet apart but as we neared the city the distance between the statues became less until they were right next to each other and perhaps a man width apart. It was past the noon hour when we entered the city and we stopped for a rest and some nourishment. We took a snack break and killed a good hour or two munching on some fruits and nuts that we had come across near the city gates. During our stop and it was becoming obvious that Ressa's lack of conditioning was starting to take its toll on her. She had become sluggish and her muscles had tightened up once she stopped moving. It took some coaxing and some assistance to get her back onto her feet. She complained that her back was hurting her and I wanted to make a catty comment to her about the size of her breasts being the cause of her back problems, but there was no need for that sort of thing since we were getting along fairly well at the moment. Once I got her on her feet it did took a bit of prodding to get her to start walking again.
As we made our way toward the city center we stopped on occasion to inspect some of the more interesting statutes we came across. All of them in this area were of men and women of adult age, but there were no statues of children or animals that we could see. It appeared that the statues were a representation of the various races from the planet as some could be easily identified as Ishtan, Kreet, and Na'Tal, but there were many that neither Ressa nor I could identify as belonging to a specific country or ethnic group. I did note however that there were no statues that sported Asian features so I still considered myself a minority of one on this planet.
All of the statues were sans clothing and appeared to have been created from nude subjects. They appeared to be similar in style and appearance to the sort of statues that you would see in a Greek or Roman museum display except that no fig leafs were used to hide the genitalia. Speaking of genitalia, as we came closer to the center of the city and the temple, the male statues were in a surprising state of arousal. Ressa and I compared notes and erotic thoughts as we made our way down the main avenue that led to the temple.
