"Sometimes we're tested not to show our weaknesses, but to discover our strengths."

As they rushed to the tunnel entrance, Sky found himself watching Mitch whenever they came across another person. Watching him give orders and lead. His eyes looked away, thinking. 'H-How can they expect me to be like that? I'm not the leader type, I'm...I'm the following type.' Sky thought to himself. They went inside the castle, Jason was quick to get in front of the king and Seto while Sky stays behind the three.

"Sure hope this works," Jason spoke making Mitch nod, agreeing.

"It's our last hope, so it better," Mitch spoke. As they rushed, Mitch looked at Sky, seeing he's lost in his thoughts. He looked away from the Skaldian prince. "Which is it, Sky or Adam?" Sky looked at the King, questioning until his question processed.

"S-Sky...call me Sky, not Adam," Sky said. Mitch nods.

"Alright, then just call me Mitch," Mitch told Sky. Sky nodded a bit and looked away from the king. They went down a flight of stairs, reaching underground and stopping at a door with no handle, the door only had three shapes in the wood and that's it. Jason stared at it.

"You have got to be kidding me, what is that?!" Jason asked before Mitch pull his dog tag necklace out from under his shirt and took it off. He fitted the tags to the shape in the middle, holding it there until the metal glowed for a second. The door going from a reddish-brown color to a golden color that matches Mitch's dog tags. When it changed, a door handle appeared. Mitch pulled the dog tags down and put the chain around his neck. He opened the door, revealing a pitch-black tunnel on the other side. Seto was the first to step in, mumbling under his breath and letting a flame ignite and float above the palm of his hand, lighting the darkness. Jason went in, followed by Mitch and Sky.

Hard to breathe and compact, there was barely enough for a person to stand in. Sky could hear the trouble the others were having their footing, but he was going on without a problem, able to see the ground he's walking on. Sky could also hear the stomps and commotion going on on the surface.

"You know, you should clear this damn tunnel out when this is over!" Jason spoke making Mitch chuckle softly.

"Agreed--"

"It isn't that bad," Sky spoke suddenly. Jason looked over his shoulder at Sky, about to speak until his eyes connected with Sky's. Jason's eyes widen a bit looking at Sky. He looked away, making note of Sky's eyes being a different color. 'He definitely has some type of ability in his eyes, that must be why they are such a strange color.' Jason thought to himself. Jason stopped walking once he ran into Seto, Mitch stopping when he heard the crash in front of him. Seto pushed Jason off him.

"Get off!" Seto snapped. Jason felt himself fall back into the king, Mitch grabbing Jason's arms to keep him from falling over. Seto closed his hand, the flame extinguishing, he put his hand out and against a cold stone surface. He nodded a bit. "This is definitely a cave-in, it might be too dangerous to break in such a narrow space,"

"Can you do it?" Jason asked him. Seto nods a bit but speaks since he knows they can see them.

"Yeah, it should be--"

"But the ceiling is caving in above you, there's a crack that it that looks really to give," Sky spoke making Seto look behind him towards the voice.
