"Do you need a light or –or something?" Rainy could hear the fear in her voice. The idea that fearless Maya was scared sent shivers down her spine. "What can we do to help?"

“I- I don’t know. A light would probably be helpful,” she called back.

//maya: ahah adventure this is fun
maya: …
maya: o sh*t I could actually die
maya: oh
maya: oh no

Rainy told Eli to toss his phone to Maya, which he did. "Use the flashlight on that," she said, rubbing her hands together anxiously.

//bye

Maya caught it, turning on the flashlight. “Thank you,” She said. “It’s the one on the right, I think.” She hesitantly stepped onto it and continued. At the very end, she visibly relaxed when she made it. “Rainy was the right - it’s the most faded ones. People have been down here before, that means.”

“People have been down here? Who would want to travel down this place?” Eli wondered aloud.

“Who knows? Anyways, you guys can come across now.”

"Okay, lead the way," Rainy said to Eli, taking a deep breath. She was relieved that Maya had reached the far side safely, but now it was her turn.

“This is going to be hard,” Eli murmured to himself. He went slow, directing Rainy’s movements to each stone.

"H-how close are we?" She asked shakily. "To the far side?"

“Not too far! You should be over in about a minute!” Maya called.

“Maya’s right, just go slow,” Eli said, watching their feet as they stepped.

"Okay," Rainy said. After a minute, she breathed, "sorry I came along. I didn't think I'd be so useless."

They soon reached the other side. “You aren’t useless,” Eli said back to her, shaking his head.

“You helped us figure out how to cross this, and you set of the lever,” Maya said. “Your turn, Pocky!”

Rainy smiled softly but let the subject drop. "Be careful Pocky!" she called.

Pocky took a deep breath, and crossed to the other side with the others.

//o sorry

Maya smiled. “We’ve all made it, just watch out for the poison trap next.”

Pocky groaned. "You say that so casually."

"Which way do we go now?" Rainy asked

“I’m honestly surprised these still work, thus thing is centuries old…” she said, moving on.

Eli helped to lead Rainy down the path, looking around at the walls for any levers.

"So, if I remember correctly, there's a secret door somewhere along these walls. The poison trap is just before it, and then the last one is inside it. After that, we get to the statue."

Pocky nodded. "Problem being, how will we tell where the poison trap is?"

"Poison sounds really…bad," Rainy spoke up. "Maybe there's a way to bypass that entirely?"

Pocky narrowed her eyes. "I don't think so." she said. "But maybe we could trick the trap somehow?"
