Skeleton Guarded Ruins

I was riding a dirt bike through a mountain pass. Following a dusty gravel path that wound up a mountain. Reminded me of the local mountain range Mudengsun, in Gwangju South Korea where i lived for a year. Old stone barriers on the corners. I get to a point in the road then decide to turn off into the forest. I navigate through for a time then stop as the bike wouldn't make it through the forest ahead. I go on foot. Maybe 50 metres. I notice building like structures through the now mangrove Amazon type forest, white, modern Malibu style buildings. Modern looking even though the ruins look like they'd been there for hundreds of years. I also note movement on them. Feet, legs walking. I crouch hidden in the closest ruin looking to see who was patrolling. It was dark but as the closest figure walked to the closest buildings edge i could see it was a skeleton, black in the shadows but the bones of a human. There were several through the complex, each wielding a long katana like blade. I move an inch and snap a twig. The closest skeleton id been watching turns in alert and makes in my direction, fast. I'm found! I stand and as the skeleton strikes his blow I block it with my hand, the sword glides through it with ease. 5 or so skeleton guards now faced me. I pass out/wake up.
