Colton went through the ruins counter clock wise, as a he traveled he had noticed that the he moved out from one district, the one with the ruined cathedral, to another. This was was dominated by the ruins of a castle/mansion.
Colton could see a road leading toward the castle but he would need to navigate the ruins before he could reach it, assuming he was interested.
As he walked in the ruins of the streets, his shoes tapping on the dark cobble stones, he saw something odd. On a second floor window he spotted a bird made of pewter. It was very life like with wings opened on the verge of flight.
He paused in a plaza there was a fountain shape like a terrible beast, with ten tentacles, four of which were pushing a young female into its maw.
On the side of the fountain he saw a graffiti in English:
Johnny is still alive!

The arrow was pointing toward a street leading deeper into the district and if Colton had to guess, to the castle.
