"Yeah! It looks more like they wanted to split us onto diffrent paths! Is there an opening of any kind over there!"

'Yes,' she said simply, looking down into the newly revealed passage.
'Its the only way out...' she said, turning and entering it.
'I hope this leads back to Silver,' she mumbled, her eyes straining into the gloom.

There are torches along the path up ahead, and the ground is made up of a fine sand. There is a faint breeze running along the tunnel, carrying the scent of wildflowers.

Well, she thought, as she hoisted the pack up again, and crunched along the passage, this was turning out fun. Thankfully there was now light in the form of torches - but that also gave her a momentary pause. Who had lit the torches? The breeze carried a pleasant scent, and it refreshed her slightly. She hurried on, eager to join up with Silver again.

The path ahead twisted and turned, and as she turns a corner, there is a sudden pit in front of her, blocking her way. Every 5 feet or so there is a platform wide enough for one person to stand on.

'What the ?' she exclaimed, as she came across the next obstacle. Well she already knew that she couldnt use her powers, she had tried when the block had fallen down to no avail. She eyed the gap between the edge of the pit and the first platform. She could make it - she hoped. Backing up, she jogged a moment on the spot before running and launching herself from the edge of the pit. She landed heavily on the first platform and staggered as she fought to regain her balance.

The platform wobbled a little, and started leaning to one side as Sati stood upon it.

'Crap, crap,' she muttered, backing up as it tilted under her and leaping to the next one.

The first pillar crashed into the second one, sending it tilting and falling towards the third.

She gave a scream, leaping from the pillar onto the one that it was falling towards. And in one movement she jumped onto the next one, panting hard wth exertion.

The pillars continue to fall into each other as Sati leaps across them, the hallway ringing with the sound of falling stones.

'What the hell is up with this place,' she hissed, through gritted teeth as she leapt from pillar to pillar, the muscles in her legs straining as she worked them into jumping again and again.

As soon as Sati's feet are back on solid ground on the other side of the pit, there is a grinding noise, along with some mechanical clanks as the pillars all right themselves again, and a stone slab slides over the pit, making it seem as if it had never been there.

She sat on the ground, blinking as the floor became solid. She laughed, until she cried and sat, breathing heavily as she wiped her eyes.
'You have a sick sense of humour!' she shouted, not sure who she was even shouting at, but feeling better all the same. She got to her feet and carried on, untying the straps from across her belly that she had secured before starting her athletics.

The path is long and winding, and eventually opens up on a meadow filled with wild flowers of all sorts, secluded from the outside world by a dome of stone. It appeared that this had once been a cave whos roof had collapsed in, creating this little meadow.
