Drishika knocked on the wall and put her ear against it. "I feel something," she said.

"If the stone is in here, how do we get through?" quizzed Rutuja.

"Step aside," they heard someone say.

Boom! The wall shattered into pieces.

"Ridaan?" Drishika rushed towards him. "Are you okay? O My God! You're bleeding," she said as she touched his forehead. "I wish I had my purse with me," she said. Ridaan snapped his fingers and a black purse appeared on the floor. "Thanks," she said and rushed towards it. She rummaged through it and removed a band-aid. "Come here," she said as Ridaan walked up to her. She nursed him and applied the band-aid. "Stay with me," she said.

"Drish," called Rutuja. "The stone."

Drishika held Ridaan's hand and dashed towards the remains of the wall. They stepped in, only to find an empty room. "I swear I felt the energy," said Drishika. "Feel it once again," said Rutuja. Drishika nodded her head and closed her eyes. She pointed to the left.

There hung a petite painting. It was covered with a layer of dust. Rutuja removed a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped off the dust.

"Blazeterra," she said and looked at Drishika. "It's the map of Blazeterra," said Ridaan. Rutuja removed the painting from the wall and kept it on the ground. There, she saw a hole in the wall. "Feels like you need a key to unlock it," guessed Drishika. Rutuja removed the dagger from its scabbard and inserted it into the hole.

The wall cracked open, cut into two halves. Rutuja stepped aside right away.
