Last Breath Ch. 5: The Cave
He had been walking through the jungle for hours. He knew that he had to keep up his pace. He didn't want the others catching up with him. About two hours ago the sun had risen; he knew he was walking in the right direction. He could feel Marguerite pulling him towards her.
He continued his pace for several more hours until he reached a long mountain range. He knew he had finally reached his destination but as he looked around he couldn't find a cave opening anywhere. He walked up and down the range several times but couldn't find an opening anywhere. Panic began to weld up in his chest. He could feel Marguerite slipping from him with each passing minute. He slipped to his knee calling out her name, "Marguerite, Please help me." He waited for her answer but nothing happened. Roxton started to loose hope. Maybe the others were right; maybe he was just imaging everything.
Just as he was about to give up all together, a light breeze blew off the mountain range. Roxton could smell Marguerite's unique scent. He looked toward the source of the scent, but what he saw surprised him even more. At the top of the range there was a glint of light, as if a jewel was reflecting off the sun. Roxton knew this was where he would find the cave entrance. Slowly he made his way up the range.
It took him about a half and hour to reach the jewels that were reflecting the sun. He placed his hand over the green jewels and felt a rumbling from within the stone. Suddenly a hole appeared in the wall. Roxton carefully walked through it. It was pitch black in the cave. He kicked himself for not remembering to bring a torch with him. He continued down the tunnel for what seemed like hours. Every now and then he would trip over a loose stone but generally he had a pretty easy walk. After what seemed like forever, he felt himself enter a huge cavern. There was a faint light coming from the top of the cavern. He called out "Is anyone here?"
Slowly a light started floating down from the ceiling, it slowly took form. As Roxton looked on, he saw that it was taking on a familiar form. It was Summerlee.
