As phoenix flew through the turning tunnels,' mechanical doors' shutting down, one after another behind us.

We began approaching a light at the end of the tunnel, we could feel a gush of strong air as we felt a pull; dragging us into a new chamber. With a sudden burst, we found ourselves in the next chamber, half filled with very deep water. The bird stopped in midair, and with a heavy jerk, we was thrown forward.

Myself and Corcoran looked around at the new chamber; we could see no other exit. With the last exit now closed off, we was trapped. We looked down at the water, it seemed the only way forward. So with the pulling up of the reins' and the covering of the book, we headed straight for the dive.

We swam deep into the depths' of the water, before we found the connecting hole, we had to resurface again, for air. The water was bitter cold and shaking with shock; we had no time to waste. We inhaled a deep breath and went in for the dive again. we searched down into the depths' of the water and eventually found the hole. Leading through; it was a small narrow tunnel. In desperation, we found ourselves' squeezing through, in hope that we would find something on the other side.

The water was much warmer as we swam through and it didn't have much depth, so we resurfaced very fast and with that we found ourselves gasping for air. When we managed to get our breath back; we swam over to a small mound of rocks', that lined the water's edge.
