Eric received no harm after he fell, so as the other. Everyone seemed to be despair, even Eric too, but knowing that they couldn’t turn back anymore. They followed the deep dark pathway, it full of ancient artefact from around the world. They started searching for lost Karl. They walked through many hall way, many room, but found nothing. For hours they have been searching, but nothing progressed. Charles started to give up and insist Eric to accept the truth that Karl was gone, but he refused. That made Charles got really mad, but before they could talk any further the glowing eyes were staring at them and this time it didn’t come alone.
The only thing they could do were ran. The glowing eyes came from many direction. Through this bizarre cavern structure, The Fishmen were everywhere. They have got no way to ran, not until they came across the small tunnel near the wall. Sure it was narrow, but it was their only choice. The Fishmen couldn’t enter due to their size were larger than average human. The tunnel was ended at a large room with three exit. The room was full of mural, in the middle of the room there was a large pedestal made entirely out of strange greenish stone. It the darkness, as the group walked around the room, Eric stumbled upon something, something large. When he shone a flashlight, he found something unpleasant.
“He’s here!” shouted Eric. The next thing that they saw from the flashlight was the lifeless corpse and it’s belongs to Karl. His body received severely wound, but it’s fatal, the most possible way for his demise was drowning. It was end, they’ve found Karl. No body known how to react, they literally thrown their life away for their lifeless friend. Freesia sitting down on the floor, her grey eyes shown her fear in her heart, Charles walked toward Eric and punch him right in his face, it would go even further if not Freesia who stopped Charles first. He shouted at Eric with his anger. He cursed Eric with nearly every word he can think of. He asked why he didn’t die alone. Eric stand still, he realise the situation clearly.
While the conversations was going, the necklace on Daisy’s started to sparked again. She started to acting strange, but this time it was the worst. Her eyes teared a lot, she felt she couldn’t breathe, like drowning. Somethings told her to walk to the pedestal. Freesia tried to stop her, but when she did Daisy started to dying, like when she was drown. Freesia tried to asked her what happened, but she couldn’t answer. Freesia finally let Daisy go, she walked right to the pedestal, the moment that her hand interact with the greenish stone, she went back to normal. Freesia took care of Daisy closely while Eric and Charles explored the room. Eric found that the room actually full of skeletons, but that didn’t shake his mind anymore. Charles was checking the wall which was full of mural. He noticed that he mural didn’t seemed to fit any culture he know so far, so he tried to decode it. That made him discovered the truth, the forgotten truth about the accursed human race who had forgot their home, they were banished from their home, ocean. He continue reading until he realise the jealousy of humanity and the stolen key. No word could explain his emotion right now, both fulfil and empty.
After a few minutes they have explored the entire room. Daisy was feeling better. Eric walked in, but didn’t talk. They all were hopeless knowing there were not any escape from the cave, until Charles came in. he claimed that he found the way out, so he told the group all of his speculation about the message of the mural, the accursed jealousy that stole the precious from the Fishmen. The necklace was the key, the key to open the door. Everyone even Daisy were agree except Freesia. After she heard the story she blamed the necklace that cause them a trouble and killed Karl, so she decided to destroy it in order to get revenge. She was about to take the necklace from Daisy’s neck if not Charles who stopped her first. He told Freesia that this necklace was the only way to get out from this cave, she didn’t listen and tried it again, but this time she was interfere by other thing, the things that were worst.
The Fishmen came from the left exit. Everyone was scared, Charles told Daisy to give them a necklace, but Freesia refuse before Daisy could say a word, she took Daisy with her. Eric asked Charles what to do, but he said that it was Eric who took us here, so he have to take the responsibility of all life. Eric told them to run to the right exit.
They ran to the room that full of stone that stack to the ceiling, some dust also fell on their head. They’ve ran so far, far away from that room, it going to took sometime for the Fishmen to get there. Freesia started to cried. She tried to take the necklace from Daisy once again, and yet again that she failed. Eric asked her why. She replied that the necklace have to pay, she started acting mad, and that mad Charles need to calm her down, but she refused his help. No one could calm her down until she notice Daisy, she looked at Freesia with sadness in her eyes. She said sorry to Freesia, everybody was in the emotional scene, but not so long. The Fishmen finally catch up. They had no choice but to climbed the rocky stack. Eric climbed first, but as long as he climbed, the rock started to fell down harder, the cave was about to collapse.
