They were all walking for hours, occasionally using their skill, but tired nonetheless. Everybody eventually got tired, just as Alhaitham predicted. Mualani stopped for a rest, and leaned on a nearby rock. "Guys" She said panting "I need a break" She says out of breath. Murmurs of agreement came from the group, as they all leaned on numerous cliffs and trees. Just as Mualani leaned on a wall, It suddenly shifted- Silence. Nobody dared to move, just in case a landslide happened. Xilonen then came closer, and inspected the rock- a bit different. Like it had a pattern?

Xilonen came closer, and pushed a few rocks in, and some out. Then- It moved. The entire cliff moved, the one Citlali was leaning on. She fell, but all of them were too busy looking at it with awe.

When it finally finished moving, nobody knew what to do. They stumbled on it by complete accident, and Chasca didn't want to take the risk. "What if it's dangerous? She adds, but all of them were already halfway inside, Xilonen giving them all an awkward smile. "What if? What if she's in there?" Citlali says, returning the smile. Kinich sighs, as he nods, as if he was giving his permission.

They all walked in, Chasca still unsure about this decision. Suddenly, the ground below them collapsed: It was a trap. They all screamed, as Kinich held on to Ajaws tail for dear life. "STOP, KINICH! STOP!!!" He cried, but Kinich still held on. Only he made it back to the entrance, as the others were stuck on the bottom. There was an opening, but nobody knew where it led to.
