On their way to the tears of Angel Ilyana, Cerberio lead the party by using his nose to track where they are headed. Drakar, Scarlet, and Reid followed from behind. Still guided by the emitted lights coming from the glowing crystals embedded at the walls of the cave.

After running around the cave, The group finally stopped when they reached a room. The ceiling was filled with glowing crystals that served as a chandelier  lighting the whole room that looked like an altar.  At the middle, there is a monument of an angel with magnificent wings. Then an angel was standing behind a monumental fountain that looked like bird's bath. The water from above was still and clear. Along the perimeter of the ground of the room are streams of water.

"Wow. This place looks beautiful." Scarlet said in awe.

"We must hurry. We can't afford to lose more time. Mein is suffering and she is waiting for us." Reid said in a charismatic manner.

The group nodded in agreement. They hadn't forget their main goal. They must get the tears of Angel Ilyana to cure Mein from her family's curse.

*Grrgrgggrr!!!*

Suddenly, a loud roar echoed all throughout the cave. It caused a small earthquake and it shook the glowing crystal chandelier.

"Let's get that tears so we can get out of here." Cerberio said.

Scarlet, who was carrying the empty vial from her pocket, went to the fountain. From there, she released the cap of the vial and then filled the vial with the water from the fountain. After that, she closed the vial and she hurried back to the group.

"I got it!" Scarlet said.

"Great. Sir Cerberio, lead us out of here." Reid said and then Cerberio started sniffing his nose.

"Follow me." Cerberio said after he has tracked the exit and everyone followed.

*Ggrrgrrrr!!*

Another loud roar shakes the cave.

"It must be the beasts that we fled from earlier." Drakar said while running from the back.

They are now back at the bridge where they got scooped by the guarding giant beasts. Where they fell down.

"Everyone! Be careful. Those beasts might catch and pull us off the bridge again." Reid warned and the party went alert for any trouble that may come before them.

From below the bridge came the claws of the Cerberus that suddenly scratches on the bridge just behind Drakar.

"Oh sh*t!" Drakar said from almost getting caught.

From the other side of the bridge came the claws of then Hydra that scratches on the bridge just beside Drakar.

"Ughh!!" Drakar did not get hit but the blow that came from the scratch sent him flying and rolling on the ground.

"Drakar!" Scarlet who is about to turn back to help Drakar up.

"Go! I can take care of myself." As Drakar forcefully tried to stand up.

He got his foot sprained after that blow. He decided to not make Scarlet worry, so he faked that as if it felt nothing.

When Scarlet saw Drakar running just fine, she continued her way running towards the exit.

"F*ck." Drakar thought as he didn't anticipate that forcefully moving his body would hurt so much.

The party made it out alive from the bridge despite the cerberus and the hydra trying to get them.
