"I tried to warn them-really I did; but they didn't listen and now they're gone," an old man cries out, panic evident within his voice.
"The old man's gone crazy again," a man comments.
"No! I'm telling the truth! I warned the young men but they just kept walking and walking, within the direction of the voice," the old man said, pulling at someone to follow him.
"Get off me old man!" The man, who was being tugged, yelled, pushing the old man to the ground.
"I'm sorry-but-but please! I beg of you, don't go within the direction of the voice. It will be the death of you," the old man pleads.
Everyone just ignores him as he runs out the cavern door, quite possibly trying to warn the others.
But sadly no one will listen.
Fools.
