I stopped due to the extreme foul smell. It smelled like rotten eggs.

"Ugh, What is that?" Harold said.

They both coughed, I looked behind me and they looked terrible. Harold's checkered polo shirt was now gone, his white shirt was covered in dirt and some blood from supporting Tyler with his shoulder injured from the rock avalanche. Also his pants were soaked in blood, it must have been either from the arai's curse, from the minotaur, or from the avalanche. 

Tyler was not looking very well either. His gray shirt was a mess with dirt and blood. He was limping but hardly noticeable, like he's taking the pain. He kept on holding the platinum sword on his left hand, since his right shoulder is weak. Some parts of his shirt and pants were also burnt, when we opened the security system.

I sorta look good. My jumper was full of dirt and blood. My eyebrow was busted and bleeding slowly, I noticed it when I saw a pool of shining water, although it was really hard to make out my reflection because the dark atmosphere isn't letting any sunlight through, I could still see it a bit. I looked okay, but blood was still streaming down each of my shoulders, and I still couldn't entirely breath, but I didn't cough blood anymore. The poison must be paralyzing my body minute by minute. But I still fought it.

"It's sulfur." I said. They walked beside me until the rocky path we were taking turned into dark soft sand. I knelt but then regretted it.

"Ow!" I yelled. 
I tried to stand with Tyler and Harold supporting me. My knees were bleeding from microscopic places.
Tyler took a scoop of sand, "It's glass chips. This place is designed to hurt and kill."

"Obviously. Are you sure you can take the pain, Myrt? The poison's still kicking in, I know." Harold said.

"Ugh, I can take this." I groaned.
"You know out of the three of us here. You're the only one with serious wounds." Tyler said.

I just looked at him and we continued walking the caverns were already close and no danger on sight. 

"Looks like Jandira thought we couldn't make it this far." Tyler commented.

I winced when I tried to bend on my right.

"Looks like you're feeling the beatings you took on anyone now." Harold said.

I glared at him, "What did you guys get when you sliced the arai? You can't be that innocent to not hurt at least 3 persons."
"Oh, we felt something alright. Insecurity, heart broken, tripped and some of the punches we felt with each other." Harold stated.

I chuckled, "You guys are so... lame."

"We made it." Tyler said. 

I looked up ahead, and saw the first cave, the air was so sulfurous and the black glass chips were still ongoing to the dark cave.

"Should we get in?" Harold asked.

I went ahead as an answer. I couldn't see anything, but I was still, going. I bumped onto something hard with my forehead. 

"A door. We can't be careless, with this." I said and winced.

Tyler held my shoulder then held the door, "Why? Let's just get in."
"Each cave belongs to one of the Council Witchcrafts. If Jandira turned on her security system, she must be the only one here. So if the other witches and warlocks are not, they must have their security systems inside their caves." I replied.
Harold held my hand while it was on the door, then quickly took it away I could seriously sense he was blushing because he looked down and made a fist on the hand he held my hand with.

"Uh.. So.. Niner Caverns is like somewhat a fortress?" Harold asked nervously.

"Something like that." I replied.
"Can't you tell if this is Jandira's witch place?" Tyler asked.

I thought for a while, I only had dreams, I don't think they're really helpful.

"Whoa, this door's color is so emo." Harold said as he slid his hand down.

"Who has 2 rocks?!" I said practically yelling.

"I have a stick. I've been using it as a walking stick."Harold said.

I stole Tyler's sword and made fire by sliding it through my dagger and letting the spark to the stick.
The door's color was brown, black, blue and turquoise.

"Not this door." I said then started to walk outside.

I went to another cave. This time the colors were just like in my dream, "Crimson, Byzantium, Chartreuse. This is it." 
I pushed the door open slowly.

The place was just like in my dream, potions in every corner, some about to explode and some of them looked too old.

"Ew! Even Tyler can't keep something that gross." Harold said holding his nose.

Tyler picked up a jar and inside it were cut tongues of humans. No, highnesses.

"The blood is all they need. Other parts of the prince or princess' body would be made as an ingredient for their potions." I stated.

Tyler put the jar down and took a cut hand, "Whoa, this is so cool."
"Put that down, Sanchez! That's so gross!" Harold said.

I grinned evilly and took another arm and waved it in front of Harold.

Harold was running a bit then crouched to a corner until he screamed like a girl.

"Hahaha Oh man! That was hilarious!" Tyler said laughing so hard.
I laughed while throwing the arm away, "You scream even girlier than-"
AAAAHH!!

I turned to hear the sound again but it was gone.

"That was-" I started.

"Jammy!" Tyler said as he went through the potions and followed the yell.

"Wait, Tyler!" I desperately yelled. 

Jandira must be around here, if not, she might have filled this place with traps. We came to a narrowing corridor but we still kept on following Tyler, like we had choice. Note my sarcasm

Tyler stepped on a rock and it sunk a bit, Harold pulled me onto the side and leaned on me as a giant battle ax swung to our direction. It stopped swinging, Harold blushed and stepped away allowing me to follow the unharmed Tyler first.
"Tyler, you dumb ass! Stop!" I yelled.
"Myrtle, duck!" Harold yelled behind me.

I purposely made myself trip, and a bunch of arrows started to shoot from both sides. I started to crawl with Harold following. 

"That shit." I mumbled.

Harold came up beside still crawling, "Where did that idiot run off to?!"
I growled in response.

"You had a dream about this place. where is Jameine?" Harold asked.

"Jandira only teleported to Jameine's dungeon, so I don't know which way it is."
We reached the end of the narrow corridor and we kept on running to a rusty old place.

It was now a Great Hall. Tyler was running on the other side. He finally stopped, it's about time.

I jumped on his back and made him face me, "You idiot! You could've killed us in the process of saving that stupid damsel!" 
Tyler had bloodshot eyes, but when he blinked, tears did fall out. I still had a scowl on my face and I stood. Harold helped him up. The hallway was lit with torches with white fire. The hallway had high ceilings and the place was all dirty white with moss and scorch marks on the walls. Up ahead, was a giant wooden door with metal scraps on its random parts. I went to it and held the doorknobs.

"Jameine's on the other side." Tyler whispered to me.

"So is Jandira." I said.

"Oh deary, I'm right here."
We turned around and were immediately blasted to the door. I knelt to the ground and grudgingly stood.

"Jandira!" I growled.

She cackled while riding her witch's broom like crazy all over the room.

"And believe me sweet empress, there is nothing alive in that room." She added with a crooked smile.
