Penny widened her eyes in shock, her face full of disbelief. Rosie looked visibly shaken. Wasn't it supposed to be fake? How did it go off? The mountain pass was in complete disarray. The cliffs on both sides had collapsed, large and small rocks tumbled down, forming a makeshift barrier. A massive crater, over ten meters in diameter and nearly five meters deep, scarred the ground. Water from an underground spring began to seep out.

He looked at the oak tree, at the symbols carved into its trunk, at the ground beneath his feet. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "I think I know," he said, his voice filled with excitement.

The path is now open." As the voice faded away, the ground before them began to tremble. The oak tree slowly rotated, revealing a hidden passage beneath its roots.

"The pass is wider than it appears, I have studied the rivers and seas around Astalion very deeply, my father made sure I knew every route and I loved to learn about our ocean.

"I think she’s right." "So, are we going to go into this on blind faith, just to save time?" Flynn added doubtfully. "It’s not just the time, it’s safer. In a narrower setting, we will be more aware if something big is coming." I persisted, pointing to the exit through the mountains. "Look, Bellmead Island is here. These mountains do hav

The mountain pass was a formidable challenge, a trial of endurance that pushed their limits. At last, as the peaks gave way to a sprawling valley, the heroes beheld a sight that took their breath away. Before them lay the entrance to a mystical cavern, its mouth adorned with intricate symbols that seemed to pulse with energy. Elysia's heart quickened this was the threshold of discovery they had sought.

Her finger stopped on a small, hand-drawn symbol—a tiny archway hidden beneath a cliff outline just ten meters above their current position. "We don't go around the mountain," Anaya said, pointing up toward a steep, overgrown rocky incline that led to a darkened crevice in the limestone wall. "The old cart road had a structural escape tunnel—the Koti Bypass. It was built by the British to move artillery through the mountain during the monsoon season. It’s completely unmapped by modern digital GPS." "Is it stable?" Vikram asked, picking up his hard drive and checking the blinking green LED, which was now pulsing in erratic, uneven spurts.

He looked up at Martha, then back at me. "The back trail," Dominic said, his voice regaining its strength. "Is the pass clear?" "The goat path behind the granite peak," Martha nodded. "It drops straight down to the northern river bed. It's steep, loose rock, and there's zero cover. But it's the only way out that doesn't end in a bullet." I pushed myself up, using Dominic's shoulder to take my weight off my heel. I looked over at Clara, who was standing by the cold hearth, her small hands holding a wooden stick, her eyes fixed on us.

Climbing up a mountain is that difficult? Seeing my puzzled look, Derek stared at me. “To reach Yohan Mountain, you have to cross a forest first.” Okay??

The scent of pine turned to the sharp, metallic tang of ozone as she climbed. At the entrance to the pass, a dozen sets of eyes glowed in the dark. These weren't the Silver Moon guards. These were mercenaries. They stood around a starting line marked in white ash. Austin stood in the center, a silver box clutched in his shaking hands. "Where's the car, Madison?" he asked, looking past her at the empty road. "I don't need a car for a mountain pass, Austin. Stop stalling."

She opened the hidden passage, and I followed her inside, grabbing a torch to light our path. The passageway led to a small tunnel, big enough for one person to move through easily.
