Drakar, Selare, Reid, and Cerberio set out on a quest to find the tears of Angel Ilyana from the underground cave in order to save the Maid Mein from a curse.

The group finally went inside the cave they found from below the mountain.

"It sure is dark in here." Scarlet exploring her eyes around the cave.

"Yeah. Good thing I made a torch." Reid while holding the torch he made before they entered the cave.

The group suddenly came across a splitting path.

*Sniff sniff* "This way." Cerberio points out to the left.

They are taking a path where there can be water to find an underground lake which can be the way inside the underground cave.

Cerberio was leading at the front since he has more experience roaming around cave, followed by Reid who is holding the torch to light the way, behind him was Scarlet who is at the look out, lastly, Drakar who just follows from behind and has no contribution and whatsoever.

He is still considered as a villager. Despite knowing some things about combat, he can't fight because that would blow his cover.

"This is."

The group finally found them selves in an area inside a cave where there are spikes above and below and a lake at the center. The water from the lake creates an illuminating light that gets reflected back by the spikes which makes up a wonderful scenery.

"It's beautiful." Scarlet mesmerized by the scene.

"Let's go."

The group approached the lake to investigate. They found that there is a hole deep below the lake that leads to somewhere.

"I guess that's our entrance to the underground cave the doctor was talking about." Drakar deducts.

"Yeah, the other paths leads to a dead end. So this must be it." Cerberio confirmed that by simply sniffing around the cave.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get down there and get the tears already. Mein is waiting for us." Scarlet said.

Drakar turned to look at Reid and scanned him from head to toe. And then turned to look at Scarlet and scanned her from head to toe. Scarlet noticed Drakar's eyes looking intently at her body so she quickly covered her chest with her arms.

"Pervert!" Scarlet yelled at Drakar with cheeks flushed red.

Drakar ignored what she said then said "Are you sure you can swim down there with that armor?" raising a brow.

Reid and Scarlet were wearing armors while Drakar and Cerberio were wearing casual clothes.

They need to dive down the lake in order to get to the underground cave. But with a heavy armor it would be hard to swim down.

"He's right Scarlet, our armors would only cause an hindrance to us." Reid agrees.

"What about the monster that is guarding the tears that the Doctor warned us about? Without our armor we would be defenseless." Scarlet argues.

"I know but if we swim with our armors on, I doubt that we would even reach the underground cave without drowning." Reid pursued.

Scarlet pouted and stomped her feet. She wanted to keep her armor on.

Reid and Scarlet removed their armors and dropped them on the floor. They kept their weapons on since they will need it for when in case they come across the guarding monster.

"What about you Dog? Can you swim?" Drakar asked Cerberio.

Scarlet and Reid Realized that they never knew whether Cerberio can swim or not. Since Cerberio was born and raised from a cave.
