Drawfey:We should go through the river tunnel!

Lil:Water!

Aqua: Yay! Looks like we're going through the water tunnel!

Image: Yep. That's two votes for it now.

The gang goes through the dark water tunnel, using the small fireball Alika has floating beside her for a faint guiding light.

Ela: I can barely see anything.

Alika: Told you my fire powers would be powered down. This place is damp and cool. Not the best place for fire elementals or a Master of Heat... And I'm both.

Aviana: I see just fine as long as you guys are talking.

Radio: Me too. The sound is helpful.

Aqua: I'm just following the sound of the water.

Nightmare: I'm used to the dark.

T.B: This is kind of like the vents, but bigger!

Greninja: Everything echoes in here.

Aviana: Yep. Keep talking. It's definitely helping Radio and I to not bump into anything.

Alika: I can try to get some more light in here. I still have some energy saved up.

Alika attempts to grow the fireball a little bigger, and it works for a little while. The group is able to travel in a somewhat comfortable silence until the fire becomes smaller again.

Alika: And we're back to a small fireball. I don't have enough stored energy to keep it big for very long.

Star: That's alright. I have a form of night vision anyways. Kind of comes with the void-breathing ability.

Bendy: How does that work?

Star: Don't know. I've just always been able to see better in space and dark places.

Image: I bet it's your space theme. Now come on, I think we're almost out. I can hear wind nearby.

The group walks a little further until they come to a stronger light at the end of the tunnel. After their eyes adjust, they look around to see they're in the forest again. They've just come out the other side.

Chara: Well this was pointless.

Canada: What do we do now? We could continue upstream.

Frisk: We've been doing that for a long time now though!

Ontario: Hey, when we first came to the BHOM, I think somebody mentioned something about a nearby ruins. One of the ninjas maybe?

Gray: Sounds accurate. I got to know the members of Room 2 pretty well. If there was ever a ruins here, they'd know about it. But they wouldn't be open about its location.

Asriel: So then where do we go?

Bendy: Well, I think we should stick by our landmarks. The river is the most obvious choice, but if somebody wants to try and find those ruins...

Cyan: I say we go find the ruins! It's time to change things up a bit!

Clementine: Are you sure...?

Cyan: Yeah! And it'll be an adventure!

Image: Not so fast. We should let the readers choose, remember? They're important too.

Your Options:

- Continue to follow the RIVER towards the faint smell of roses.

- Change things up and attempt to locate the RUINS in the forest.
