An Exit Too High to Reach

After less than ten minutes of walking, Arias found a huge chamber hidden deep inside the cave. The chamber was big enough to accommodate hundreds of humans. In the center of the chamber was a beautiful pond. The water in that pond was as clear as crystal. If you looked down, you would easily be able to see the bottom of the pond.

There was an opening in the ceiling of the cave that led to the outside world. It wasn’t a very big opening, but it wasn’t so small either. Every day, when the sun was right above your head, you would see golden rays of light shining down like the light from heaven. When the light fell on the surface of the water, it would sparkle even more beautifully. Even at night like this, the gentle moonlight could still be seen shining down onto the surface of the water.
