Darkness. Everywhere. Surrounding you at every corner imaginable. In front of you as you run, following as you run. Nowhere to hide from it, because it is the darkness...

Yoshi felt nervous as he ran down the damp, mushy path, unable to see clear due to the Triceratops Cove's darkness. The green Yoshisaurus wasn't sure whether he would manage to make it back or through, so he kept telling himself to push forward as he ran. Turning left, Yoshi noticed that he started to head upward. He figured that the cruel ruler of the ceratopsid-inhabited cavern was waiting for him there, and Yoshi knew that he would have to go through the Triceratops Cove and its cruel leader to continue his adventure to rescue his best friend from the clutches of King Morton Senior Koopa.

Yoshi continued running upwards, until he stopped at a set or large rocks. Yoshi thought to himself, and then jumped up in the air, fluttering upwards and then going over the large rocks. He smirked, and turned around and started running up again. Yoshi could feel the coldness of the dark cavern getting to him, and he shivered as the cold started to freeze his body. Yoshi then stopped in front of a ledge, and he jumped up, grabbing the edge and climbing up the ledge. Yoshi glanced back to see the path he had run up to reach the ledge, and turned around and headed straight, turning right and going upwards once more.

After a few minutes of running and jumping over sharp-pointed rocks jagged from underneath the damp and mushy ground, Yoshi came across a dead end at a wall, noticing some scribbles on the cold, hard wall. Yoshi squinted, and he carefully read what the scribbles said, which was written in ceratopsid:

"Those who dare to reach the top of the Triceratops Cove and challenge the ruler must collect the two dark bluish Triceratops skulls and place them upon the podiums on both sides of this scribble."

Yoshi then looked up and turned to his left and right, to see each of the two podiums on the left and the right sides of the scribble. Scratching his head, Yoshi mumbled to himself, wondering where he could get the two dark bluish Triceratops skulls.

"Hmmm...this seems like a tough pickle," Yoshi mumbled, "Where can I find the two Triceratops skull-" He was caught by surprise when the ground suddenly started to shake, and the walls rumbled, the area where the scribbles were suddenly turned around, stopping horizontally.

Yoshi gasped as he approached the wall, and then carefully squeezed through the walls and managed to make it onto the other side. Much to his surprise, the entire area was down several feet from where he was. Yoshi noticed a ladder, and he started to climb down it, going slowly but cautiously. Yoshi then reached the bottom and let go of the ladder, turning around to see several Centrosauruses moving small, hard, gray-brownish boulders down the damp, mushy ground. Yoshi snuck quietly to the right, glancing back to see the boulder-moving Centrosauruses going into a dark entrance in the northern wall. Yoshi then realized that the two required Triceratops skulls could be located here, and he took that to mind as he then started to run down the southern direction, jumping down from the ledge and turning right, heading eastwards down the damp, mushy path, several different ceratopsids watching him.
