Rooting For 8 To5

The Medallion



I have searched the Earth for Mankind's birth
Stumbled across some petrified wood in the southeast
Inside was a medallion carved with strange markings
An inscription that said, we came in peace

Very inventive, Frederic!!! Best of luck in this fun contest and thanks for what you said about me and Pleasant Grove! I do like the place but I just miss not having my sisters around.
