I looked around, and I saw that the surface that was once all opened space to jump through, was closed.

Athena's Prov.:
I was awakened by various noises coming from the ground below.. 'Probably just Shadow, battling and healing, and being important and all.' I thought, but then I was awakened by yet another noise, but three times as powerful.

'This wasn't, Shadow.' I thought. I opened one eye from my lazy sleeping position, and I looked around me.

I looked around and I saw the trees, grass, and closed cave. Wait! Closed cave? What!?

This ruffled my feathers, and I shook myself upwards. I was worried...

Shadow, Lucy, and.. That other dog, were trapped down there! How was I going to get them out!?

Ugh. I would just have to find a way, just like I did when Lucy and Shadow got transported to that village..

........
'Oh no.' I thought.

"This is bad, this is bad, this is bad!" I could hear Nebulas murmur to herself.

I could practically see Lucy and Echo's shaken faces, and I knew.. This was bad.

'How were we going to escape?'
'Will we ever get out?'
'Will I ever continue my adventure?'
'Could I keep my promise?'
'What about the creatures!?'
'...What about Athena!? Oh no! Athena!?' All these thoughts raced through my head, and I was overwhelmed.. I needed to think of something and fast.

"Cave defense system, turning: on." I heard a robotic generated voice echo through the cave system, and I knew it must not be good.

"You may be wondering, why is all this happening? Well, first, the caving system closes and relocates itself, due to the humans finding it quickly.. And the defense system.. Well, that was also to stop the humans.. These were both installed by the brothers before I arrived here..

I never really found out a way to get through it.." Ended Nebulas.
