Mostly because the human race was mostly forgotten during ancient times. Not that they were not there, but they were so rarely grouped together.
Due to that, the ancient humans would rarely be able to even build a home to be left in ruins many years later. Instead, they would leave behind stone or wooden homes or encampments that would be ruined by nature or the changes in the ancient world over time.
Therefore, no evidence would be left.
That was the same for some other races when it came to the ancient aspects of their civilizations.
Regardless, as these rumors about an ancient human ruin traveled, it riled up many people altogether. It was why Midnight had become very interested in what she began to do while helping one of the dragon hatchlings to use earth mana to build a wall.
The other hatchlings aside for the time being, Midnight had found one of the young earth dragons found and returned to the dragon villages to be raised differently than their natural choices in doing so.
Instead of being left in a cave to grow and eventually meet the other earth dragon when it was older, the parents went to find it and brought it back.They easily found a way to raise it a little more similar to the other dragons before they realized that as an earth dragon, it was much more capable of moving out of a nest earlier.
But evidence that it was still more stable because it had an adult with it while it hatched and was still struggling to walk in the first few weeks was there.
It was more active and even had sharper eyes for learning what was going on with the other earth dragons it saw.
One example of this was when it saw the elder earth dragon mother use some earth magic to move a pile of rocks in to a flat circle around their nest.
In just a few minutes, the little hatchling had started to move a small piece of stone with its own magic.
When Midnight was introduced to it, the hatchling was making holes and even breaking stones to entertain itself.
She immediately saw that this was the same as a few of the young children who had gotten mage classes because they were enamored with magic due to the boom of magical research.
As she was showing it the ways to use earth magic by demonstrating what she could do with it to cover her tail or her claws, an earth mage builder was remaking a wall and even adding more to it using earth magic.
In less than an hour, the earth dragon hatchling was copying them while Midnight kept it from losing its focus and breaking its own small garden wall for a nearby home. The little hatchling was able to keep learning above what a dragon hatchling its age should be able to do.
Further proving the fact that being within Genesis and changing the methods that dragon's used to raise their young to some degree was incredibly valuable to them.
When she heard the rumors for the fifth time, Midnight had finally lost her own concentration on the situation and called out to the earth mage builder helping teach the earth dragon hatchling.
She knew that the dragonkin nearby were there to help the hatchling and escort it around so that it didn't get in to trouble. So, she was more than comfortable leaving them all be.
"I was watching you and that little one, but you are running away already?" It was Mordant who caught her. Midnight had been with him training last and he had kept an eye on her waiting for the next time that she might get caught in her head with training.
He had also personally spent some time showing a few of the various hatchlings around.
He was very proud to know that he had been the one to help them find places where they could learn.
Another fire dragon hatchling who could do alchemy. A wind dragon hatchling that could help plant and spread seeds but also bring nutrients to plants using the wind to disperse certain fertilizers.
A dark dragon hatchling that had a talent to be a night guard within the city. All that he could brag about and watch develop over the coming years.
Most of all, he was proud of the shadow eating octopus which had settled right in the dark dragon territory. It had a lot of strength but it was exceptionally fast learning.
This made it able to easily figure out that the dark mana left within the dark dragon territory was ideal food and a way for it to help.
With just a little strength, the shadow eating octopus could use its tentacles to capture those who used the dark mana improperly.
Specifically those that sued it for stealth in the wrong ways. It sensed this and reached tentacles out in to Geneisi to help capture them.
While this was harder the further away and less comfortable the shadow eating octopus was, it was also valuable since certain skill sets were harder for guards to handle in the night.
Along with this, the shadow eating octopus reported directly to Mordant and Walker.
Meaning that it would quickly learn the laws of Genesis becoming an ideal guardian of sorts. Especially at night time when things were just as active nowadays.
"Going to help brother." Midnight responded to Mordant as she was moving toward the elemental rune teleportation formation.
Not many people were removing between them today and she knew that she could take them at any time.
"Onyx should be fine.
Even if he discovered another nearby ruin, it's to be expected with the location they are near." Mordant was mentioning how close the ruins were to the bridge to the elemental planes.
He knew very well that there might even be more ruins of some form or another nearby as well.
"Ancient humans.
All started as humans. Grew up different.
But started as humans." Her broken speech was still a little annoying and Mordant wished she would just speak in the dragon language if she was going to be so stubborn not to use proper sentences.
Yet, he understood what she meant.
"I know that all of your family are human and used to be so.
If you research the ruins with Onyx, they may be grateful. But that is not enough reason to leave Genesis right now."
He was sure that he was watching Midnight get carried away. But he was also looking for a reason.
"Ancient ruins. Ancient monsters.
Ancient races." Midnight's response just came back the same sort of blunt.
"Even with so many ancient pieces appearing, we can only learn so much. Those there can research it and bring that information back."
he stepped forward with a little more vigor to keep pace with Midnight.
"But, we can learn more faster and Get Onyx back here sooner if that's what you want to do."
Mordant was failing to hide his own curiosity.
Since humans were where things started, he sort of wanted to see what ancient humans were like.
He still was learning about his own ancestors, so why not match some of the other ancient races to what his ancestors were doing in ancient times?
Meanwhile, Onyx was witnessing the larger space underground.
"This ruin was made in the hollow of a cavern.
The humans who found it must have been very lucky." A human rune researcher had come over in the hopes that the ancient human ruins would have some magical runes here or there.
But he didn't find any. Yet, he found he was still curious since he was human and these ruins were from his very distant ancestors.
"I can see that in the way that it was carved. Before the ruins collapsed and showed us the entrance, it must have been the natural cave ceiling."
Onyx had also looked in awe at the large size and felt impressed that the ancient humans had shaped this cave in to a home.
"I am more interested in the statues and what they mean.
Some of them show the god class holders, but others show monsters we haven't seen yet." This was the key to why Onyx was here.
The ancient unknown monsters that might need to be faced again in today's life for all
The races.
"Yes, we found some roughly cut stone phrases about the dangers below some of the statues. It appeared this was a main hall of sorts.
"
