Chapter 7
The Hole To The Darkness Task
The water flew over their heads, the medallion 'reflected' it and water disappeared, the room went back to normal and the silver fountain was in the middle. The medallion changed a colour from blue to the green and appeared a flower symbol.
"Of course! It's the elements tasks. We've done the light so it means fire I guess, water and now the earth" Kowalski said, so they went back to find the right corridor. Over it there was a flower symbol and from the ending was going the green light.
"Congratulations, lemur!" Blowhole said in angry voice.
"Thank you" Julien said smug, Blowhole rolled his eyes.
"Not 'thank you' don't you see!? We are trapped!"
"Traptet?" Julien asked in his silly voice.
"T-r-a-p-p-e-d! You're..."
"Stop this!" Maurice said "This is the tunnel, if we'll go along, we'll get to the end right? And your quarrel is not helping us"
"Ok, but I'm not talking with this lemur" Blowhole crossed his arms so Julien did too.
They walked through the dark tunnel, it was a little scary, but they haven't got any other way...
The room was probably hollowed in the cave, or something like that. The walls looked weakly and it could ruin at any time. The light was coming from the big, I mean very big, flower in the middle on the room. The flower was golden with green, shining leaves. Penguins went closer, there was a recess for the medallion, in the middle of the flower.
"Um, I don't like it" Private said and stepped back.
"What do you mean?"
"I have... a bad feeling, please don't put there this medallion"
"And what do you prefer, stay here for forever?" Kowalski asked and took the medallion. But Private knew, that something bad will happen, he hid behind Skipper.
"Didn't you notice that we passed few corners, I think that it a maze" Maurice said.
"Maze! Excellent, we can play hide and seek" Julien said.
"No, we must stay together to not get lost. We should have left something behind us to not get lost, it's too late now"
"Well, in this fruit is a lot of seeds" Julien said showing them the fruit, which he had with him all the time.
"You idiot, you had this fruit all the time and you didn't tell us!?"
"You know, I'm modest, so I didn't want boast" Julien said and raised the fruit "whether or not I told you already that we complement, beautiful fruit?"
"Lunatic will be always the lunatic" Blowhole said, they heard a noise from the tunnel in front of them, it was scary feeling, when they couldn't see anything...
Kowalski placed the medallion in the recess, the green light went through the whole cave, the ground moved...
"What's happening?" Skipper asked.
"I don't know..." Kowalski walked far from the strange flower.
"I told you" Private said, they stepped back, the ground parted. Everything was destroying... and they had no way to escape. When they looked at the entry with the corridor, it was closed. Was it a part of the task? Or they made something wrong. Suddenly they heard a noise, noise from down, something terrible was there and they could only wish to not land there...
"Maybe let's choose other way..." Blowhole said and they stepped back, they didn't know what was further, but they were sure that it was not good. But when they wanted to choose different way, the tunnels closed, only way was in front of them.
"Are we going?" Maurice asked.
"Oh, excellent, we're playing, I'll start" Julien said and walked further to the tunnel with frightful noise...
"Julien, no!"
The hole in the ground was bigger and bigger, so nearer and nearer to the penguins, they couldn't step back because they were already in the farthest place from the gulf.
"I-I think it's over" Kowalski said.
"Any options?"
"Nope"
"It was a honour" Skipper said, they hugged before the gulf took the whole room.
It was a second; they fell down into the darkness gulf...
