Helm headed South, leaving the sand behind her. It had been a fun little diversion but reality was all too quick to catch up. They hadn't wanted to come this way but it seemed that circumstances left them with no choice. Forlornly, she pushed open the door and stepped into the beyond.

This room was soothing. It was where they'd all began, but even so it was so peaceful and pleasant looking. A real calm before the storm. So much had transpired since then, back when they believed it would be such an easy mission. The room stretched out in all directions. The South was still fully blocked by rockfall. No chance of an easy escape was there? She sighed and stepped beneath a waterfall.

There were two of them cascading down into small pools in the rocky floor. The lighting was gentle and smooth and the water felt refreshing. She was acutely aware of the presence of others though as she stepped aside and shook her head.

"Apologies...the water feels good..." She murmured.

Marek smiled and tried it out for himself. It did feel good.

Boone's attention was preoccupied with the swirling purple vortex. It was dancing away and unlike all the others, it didn't seem like it was about to vanish out of existence.

"That was not heeEre before." He said sagely rubbing his chin.

Two chalk messages were still fresh on the walls. They read:
"! Krstf Lies"
"4 N"
