Emily's P.O.V

If anyone had told me a month ago that there was a world beneath our feet, I`d perform a brain surgery on them and declare the idiot to be mentally unstable. But, this Slugterra world was so real that I had to pinch myself several times to wake myself up, if this were one of those dreams.

Thanks to Flame`s directions and Jane`s letter, I found myself at Talon Falls. As I made my way through the vegetation, I noticed the long, thin waterfall in a distance. It streamed down into a pool of foam and blue, a faint mist rolling all around the place.

I held Flame up and queried. `Ok girl, we`re here. So now what?`

The female Infurnus pointed to the far left of the waterfall. I squinted for a better view, a high wall of rocks were all I could see even at its opposite side. I spared a questioning look at Flame, who gave an assurring, curt nod. Ok, here we go.

It was a good thing the shape of the pool was roughly circular, I was able to make my way around by keeping to its stony banks. Soon, I was staring at what seemed like hundreds of moss-covered rocks at ground level. I had to crane back my head so hard to see its top. A nudge from Iggy forced me out my musings.

Come on, Emily. Focus.

According to my mother`s instructions, in order to have access to the Blasters` hideout I was supposed to push in three diamond-shaped rocks. I ran my fingers through my hair, this could take a while.

Fortunately, I, Flame and Iggy had solved the puzzle before noon. The resulting effect of the pressed rocks was quite unexpected

There was a faint rumbling to my right. I managed to hear the sound above the drowning roar of the waterfall. It was as if someone was rubbing a large rock over several small stones. Wait, that doesn`t even make sense.

With a jerk, I looked to that direction. From what I`ve read so far of Jane`s letter, it appears that there is a cave behind the waterfall. In the cave, was a labrynith of tunnels and traps. The seemingly endless amount of passages were designed as a last line of defense against any enemy, should they discover the Blaster`s hideout. It was a system that could grant its users more than enough time to escape while the enemy ventured further into the centre of cave . The irony was that the real hideout of the cave was at least a hundred feet away from its entrance and hidden behind a very thick wall of rock and steel. It made me remember my mother`s words.

Not everything you see, appears to be.

I`ll try to hold onto that. And with that, I swivelled around and left for the cave.

Before I could find a good path to the cave, an hour had elasped. I took the one on the far right side of the waterfall. Though it was slippery, I still made it through the thin curtain of water.

The stone doors closed down, cutting off any external light and sound. It was now dark. So dark, I could not see my own nose. I groped for Flame`s slug tube and held up the female Infurnus up. Soon, a warm and pulsating blue light emitted from the slug, bathing the walls of the cave with its glow. The once roaring sound of the waterfall was muffled to an annoying buzz in the background. Though the cave was supported by natural pillars, stalactities and staglamites, its wet, moss-covered walls looked like it was burrowed by a giant worm. The very thought made a shiver crawl through my body. The air was damp and warm, it also had this pleasant, earthy scent that was always present after rain comes in contact with dry soil.

As I made another turn, a thought occured to me.

If I'm here, then where could Jane be?
