She passes the pictures she is holding over to April. “Yeah, that’s it,” April says as she lays the photo in the middle of the table. “Does that symbol look familiar to anyone else?” The photo is of a craving on a cave wall. Well, actually it looks more like silver has been inlaid into the rock. There is one center image of a moon with a wolf silhouette. It has a circle of vines around it that branch out to each side to create circles around images of a wolf head baying. The two side images are mirrors of each other. I know I have seen this before I just can’t place it at the moment.

Cass squeezed my shoulders and gave a sympathetic half-smile. "Right, we have just this chance so by all means, kindly carry on, riddle man." I sighed and thrust my hands in my pocket, grasping the emptiness so tightly like they could serve some form of comfort to me right now. "The rules of the riddles goes as follows." The giant man stood tall, making precise movements as he led us to the innermost part of the cave that was designed with old drawings and paintings of ancient warriors and mummies. It reminded me of Egyptian history and I couldn't help but wonder if the indigenes were once nomadic hunters that documented their history with drawings because they were not exposed to the knowle

Because they somehow shares the same mindset. Soon, I can already see the cave. As moments passed, the figure went bigger and bigger. Until Demitri reigned the horse to a stop. "This must be it," Prince Evan said, facing the entrance of the creepy looking cave near a tall cedar with a carved symbol of a star and a sun. It's not a very huge cave but I guess just enough for someone to get lost inside. Demitri unmounted his horse and stood beside me. "You still willing to come inside?"

Logan approached the mouth of one of the larger caves, the rough-hewn rock face a testament to the raw, untamed nature of the environment. As he drew closer, an invisible barrier parted, a silent, seamless opening revealed by the activation of concealed sensory lights. The interior of the cave, bathed in the cool, artificial glow, was lined with the macabre trophies of past incursions: the stuffed heads of animals, their once-vibrant eyes now glassy and lifeless, a stark warning to any creature that dared to trespass. He ventured deeper into the cave's depths, his footsteps echoing softly against the damp rock.

“We can bring snacks, and maybe even do a scavenger hunt inside the cave!” The idea sent a wave of excitement through the group. “I’m in!” shouted Jace. “Let’s make it an adventure day!” As they discussed the details, Leo pulled out his sketchbook, showing the drawings they had made of the cave’s symbols and formations. “Look at this!” he said, flipping through the pages. “These are some of the things we found inside.” The other kids gathered around, marveling at the sketches. “These are amazing!” Mia said, tracing a finger over the intricate designs. “You guys really captured the magic of the cave!”

The only sounds left are our footsteps and Damian’s heavy, pained breathing. Suddenly, Fredrick’s flashlight catches something on the cave wall. Not roots, or a natural rock formation, either. A metal emblem is embedded in the wall. The rusted symbol of the Capitolis government. Half-buried beneath ancient moss. “What the hell is this?” Ash mutters in confusion.

He ducked his head to avoid the hard rock up above, marveling at how cold the cave was. "Did you know about this Tink?" "Tink know. House have secrets. Make no sense, but Tink accept." She slid her goggles over her eyes. "Tink see prints." "I'm glad one of use sees something." Mike was busy looking at the random doodles on the cave walls. Some of them looked ancient, animals being hunted by men with spears, drawn with charcoal. Others were the doodle of children, done in crayon and chalk. "Where the fuck are we?"

Finally, with a grunt, she hauled herself over the jagged lip of the peak, collapsing onto the unforgiving stone. The wind, whipped around her, tugging at her clothes and pricking her skin. A low, mournful howl amplified the lingering shock. Nichole was gone, Riana still could not believe it. Even when the image kept flashing behind her eyelids, a reminder ofhw real the situation was. Her vision swam, the landscape blurring. It took a moment to focus on the entrance to a colossal cave. A massive door, seemingly hewn from shadow, sealed its depths. Dull and ancient, it radiated an aura of mysterious stillness.
