Lloyd ran upstairs after the snakes that had taken the pieces of the prophecy. He chased them down the breezeway.

As he turned a corner, he noticed the snakes were gone. There was no sign of them or where they'd gone. 

'What?' Lloyd asked himself. He eyed the floor and the walls, trying to see even a glimpse of the snakes. It was dark already, which only made the task harder for the teen.

Lloyd was about to let out a sigh in defeat when he noticed a single snake slithering up behind a painting on the wall. The teen walked over to the painting just as the snake disappeared behind it. Lloyd bent down and studied the frame of the painting. Reaching out a single finger, he gave the frame a nervous poke, noticing how one side hinged out from the wall. 

Lloyd raised an eyebrow. He stood straight again and carefully pulled the frame back only to reveal a secret passageway into the walls. 

The blond gulped nervously and stepped into the narrow, dark corridor that was filled with dust and had spiderwebs decorating the corners. 

Lloyd eyed the walls of the tall space, noticing how more cracks worked their way across one of them, creating the same sound that had become traumatic for the teen already. The cracks moved higher and higher until they'd reached the ceiling high up.

Lloyd's eyes grew worried but were soon focused on the floor as a snake slithered past him, hissing and carrying one of the pieces of glowing stone. It took it all the way to the corner of the corridor, where it slowly rose in the darkness. A flash of purple light was seen and a hooded figure was revealed holding the piece. 

Lloyd recoiled, holding back the scream that had almost made it out of his mouth. He felt like his heart had missed at least five beats from the sudden scare.

Another purple flash appeared and the figure was gone just as quickly as it had come. Lloyd wasted no time in running after the figure. 

The blond ran down the corridors, seeing the cloaked figure fleeing right before his eyes. 

"Hey!" Lloyd yelled as he chased the figure around the corners. The figure jumped up like a ninja and swung on a pipe that broke loose. Lloyd used his own skills he had learnt over the years and followed the hooded figure down below as the figure dashed over the wooden blanks with large gaps between them. 

Up ahead, Lloyd saw the blanks lowering into stairs that blocked his way. The teen slid low and broke through the final step of the stairs.

The teen ran so fast that another corner almost came out of nowhere. He attempted to slow down so he wouldn't break through the wall. Instead, he only banged on the wall.

Morro and Wu were in a small study room where it was the most quiet at the moment. Morro was sitting in a wooden chair, trying to calm down his wrecked nerves. 

"It's okay, luz de mis ojos, deep breath in, deep breath out." Wu said in a quiet, soothing tone while bringing a cup of tea to his son.

A sudden bang on the wall startled both the teen and the older man. It made Morro jump in his chair and create a massive blow of wind that knocked over his father, spilling the tea on the floor in the process.
