2. Under the Stones
Under the temple erected in the heart of the island lies a vast network of caves and underground passages.
In one of the many caves of this labyrinth, a young man regains consciousness, disoriented and confused. Lying on the ground near a lava pit, he does not understand how he got there.
He slowly emerges, trying to gather his memories that gradually return. An unpleasant sensation of endless falling, like in a night- mare, grips him. Suddenly, he remembers: he was fighting along- side his brother Scott, then... nothingness. Emptiness. What hap- pened? How long has he been unconscious?
The heat is suffocating. He stands up and realizes he can stay standing. Although he struggles to find his balance, he does not seem injured. Just dizzy.
His clothes are strangely clean, a water flask is placed near him, but he is missing something essential: his sword.
Since he can walk, an urgency presses on him: he must leave this place as quickly as possible to find open air.
