Civilization before the gods :

Arielle was having trouble with the thing while our freaky hero Owen was out for a moment but our girl isn't a normal one. she immediately hold up her emotions and kicked Owen with that thing, that kick was enough for Owen to be on his feet.
Owen while cleaning clothes," it wasn't necessary to kick, madam. you are going to jail if my kidney failed?"
with an angry expression Arielle again kicked him on his torso saying,"shut up you cry baby. have a look at thing over there."
Owen nodded with an expression of extreme fear closing half of his eyes, again opening, again closing, again opening chanting god's name,
Arielle knew what's he doing so she gave him a little push over but that push make Owen fall on that thing again but this time at least he didn't cry to maintain his prestige before his girl.
that thing was a human skeleton covered in white fabric lab coat and an unusual type of pants that has small pockets on sides. it's eyes were covered by a something looking like glass panes but smaller in size and crystal clear. Owen said," what is it ? some kind of glass but it's too small and why is it on his eyes. it looks so stupid."
but Arielle had a sharp mind and good deduction skill, she replied saying," may be these are used to see through." saying that she immediately took them in her hands, cleaned them and try to look through.
those pair of glasses were good in shape so she was able to see through clearly and deduce how was this used.
but besides that the main question remained same whose skeleton is this ? why he is here deep underground? for the answers they need to get into that dark place again and they did that without a single thought.
Arielle said," it's futile to overthink, we can't go back as we can't see the path behind so there is only one option, we have to get in?"
Owen agreed with her and said," yes it's the only option we have but before that lets check this skeleton carefully may be we can get something important out of him."
Arielle was thinking the same so they checked that skeleton his every inch of a body while they were checking they heard an unusual sound track like a part of musical melody that was coming from front pocket of skeleton with dim light. this time Owen didn't frightened out but behaved like a brave one and put his hand inside that pocket and took that thing which was playing melody.
putting it before Arielle he said," what the hell is this think? I haven't seen or heard about something like this. do you?"
with an upmost restless look she replied,"no I haven't either. may be it's an ancient artifact and this skeleton is one of the ancestors."
it was a strange rectangular object, with glass on the one side and metal like body on other side that glass like body was glowing when that thing played a melody and shows a portrait of a watch. on the right edge of that thing was a single switch Owen accidentally pressed it and the sound track stopped so do the glowing glass with a last audio respond saying "good morning doc".

Arielle instantly recognise the word "doc" and deducted a theory of her own.
she said," Owen it said doc right "
Owen confirmed with a humming sound and she continued," doc was a word used for doctor, like a short name or Nick name but it was used more than ages ago before the age of Gods."
it was a whole new story for Owen he didn't knew there was a part of history before the age of Gods, so he was surprised in that situation while holding himself he what do you mean?
Arielle clarify her statement saying," I don't know the details Owen but some of the historians like 'Lonan' 'Archinose-1' and 'leonardo craptus' had said that there was a civilization living on this planet before the age of gods they even found evidence of that civilization. And if I am not wrong this skeleton is one of that civilization and that message that we heard was in English and if it's correct then that means writings on that door have to be in English too."
it was totally new for Owen his mind wasn't ready to process all of that so he asked again," what it really mean? Arielle"
with and angry expression on her face Arielle said," you dummy, I said this skeleton is from a civilization that lived ages ago before the age of gods and the language we we heard was called english, we can't understand what it really mean as it's a lost language but we do know some of the words like 'doc or doctor' 'girl' ' pigeon ' and 50 - 70 words mostly."
Owen wasn't convinced with the explanation he said," it's impossible Arielle a skeleton can't survive that long, if it belonged to that age it should have been reduced to soil."
Arielle knew Owen was saying truth if it had been from age before how can it be still around but Arielle catched up quick saying," may be something is inside that place, which doesn't let it reduce."
Owen knew it can be possible, he had worked part time in hospital for some time he knew to delay decaying of a body we can use salt or put it in ice, something like that may have been used here but it was just a peculiar assumption.
so both of them finally decided to check inside.
