As I walked more into the cave, I saw more and more writing. And as I advanced through the cave, the writing got more and more familiar... I finally ran into ome in Roman script, searching for a message in English. 'Um, Enrique, did you find one that is comprehendable yet?' "Not... yet..." ...Until I came to a turn in the cave. At the end of the wall before the turn was the message I was looking for...

Oh my lord, oh my lady, I call on you to give you a present, please take it in your name. Said the script on the wall. Near it it was also in Spanish and French.

'Hm... I wonder what that supposed to mean...' "It means you use your name in some sort of way to get the present..." 'What am I supposed to do with it?!' "How am I supposed to know that?! Maybe it'll tell you if you walk down the hall a little bit..." I turned the corner, searching the walls for more writing, hoping to find a clue of some sort...

I sat up and opened my eyes, blinking a few times and looked around, I was on a sandy beach, it seemed to be around dusk. "How did I get here?" I asked myself, I stood up and looked out toward the sea, and then noticed an object in my hand... the charred remains of an electrical cable, yet my hand wasn't burned, nor did I look beat up. I walked along the beach for a few minutes, but when nothing came into view, I decided to head for the forest inland. As I approached the forest I began to comprehend the whole situation, "How will I get off this island? I don't even know where I am or how I got here, for all I know, this may be a deserted island and I might be the only one here..."

<Hmm... there's other presences here.> Charon informed me. Champ charged through the trees in the direction that the light was, and I had to jog to keep up.

(You guys have better make sure you can get shelter before the night. If you don't think You'll come back on tonight, make sure you mention shelter.)
A monkey jumped out and hopped on the newly arrived yoshi, practically mugged him, took his cable and ran away screaming. If you could understand him, he would be saying some very unkind things. Anyways, the sun was starting to set. It wouldn't be very long until night came.

"I'm getting tired, Ishathod." Ishathod yawned. 'So do I. Hey, how are we going to get out of this cave?' "I don't know. And I don't really care right now. I just need some sleep." I yawned as well, and laid down on the floor. Ishathod slithered off my head, and found a comfortable spot for him to sleep. I started to drift off...

"GRRRR!!!" I jumped to my feet and chased after the thieving monkey, but after a few minutes I stopped, "why am I chasing a monkey just for some piece of trash?" I noticed that the sun was setting and I had gotten lost in the forest. It was getting cold, which seemed somewhat unusual for a tropical island but it meant I had to find shelter soon or risk getting sick from the chill that seemed to be approaching. I continued to walk, having no idea where I was or where I was going...

A faraway dark voice seemed to be echoing...in the distance...night was coming and fast...

I ran through the forest, often stumbling on shallow tree roots, it was late and I had the feeling that I was being pursued, although that might have just been my natural paranoia. Eventually I came across a cave, and since I was tired from running and because it was late, I figured it would be a good idea to stop there for the night. The cave was dark and damp, but it was better than nothing, I ventured deep inside the cave until the entrance was barely visible and then sat against a wall and tried to doze off.

<It's night again already?> Charon looked up at the twinkling stars appearing averhead. "It gives Champ a reason to stop... Hey, Champ! We need to find shelter again!" I hollered. <We could dig a hole, since I don't see any caves...> "Good idea." I started doggy-digging a hole in the dirt. Champ brought back a few branches from the trees to use as a roof, then began helping.

But in the process of pulling a branch, Champ reveils a hole. This was the hole which connected to the ungerground area which Enrique had found...

<Wait... Champ, you uncovered a hole.> Charon pointed. <?> Champ looked back, and I stopped digging. "Well, that sure beats our shelter. Let's go!" I jumped in feetfirst. It was a little warmer in here, better than outside. Champ and Charon followed a few seconds later.

I felt footsteps. It woke me up a little bit. "Uh... Who's there?" I looked around a bit, but my vision was impaired slightly due to sleepiness.

<Someone's in here!> Champ said, hearing the other being's calls. <Umm... we are?> He answered. I crouched down to avoid being spotted. Champ looked a lot more harmless than I did.

Ishathod woke up and crawled back up onto my head. "Um, hello?" I called to the other voice. 'Someone else is here?!' I peeked around the other corner of the cave, not the one I just came out of.

<Hello! Hello! Hello!> Champ imitated an echo. "Stop being an idiot, Champ." I said, then covered my mouth. Now the other thing in here would definitely know there were more of us.

I peeked around the corner again. There is defintely someone else here... "Uh, who is it?" 'Show yourself!' I wanted to slap Ishathod; I should have. "Shut up, Ishathod!" I whispered to him. "Uh, never mind him..." I called to the other voice.

<Ahahaha, they have an annoying friend too.> Charon laughed. "You might want to show yourselves, too. I'm going to come around the corner now!" I called. Something sounded familiar with the voice... But I couldn't put my finger on it.

"Okay...!" I walked down the corner... That voice did seem a little familiar for some reason...
