We decided to stay together during the mission. We all went through the same tunnel. As we entered it, we found crystals of purplish-grey metal present on its wall along with rock pieces. I was mind blown by the fact that such a complex structure of tunnel was hidden below the ground of the entire city, and the kingdom was completely unaware of it.

The circular tunnel then led to a massive ground with wet sand particles present on the floor. There were pieces of the same kind of metal on the sides of the path. I was amazed at the view. The ground was empty. I was getting anxious at the sight of this large, peculiar ground which was muffled in darkness. We could barely see a thing until Musif lighted a fire with the help of the rocks present in our surrounding.

We could now spot thousands of tunnels which led to this ground in our surroundings which were connected to the city in an organised manner. The scene dropped my jaws. I was impressed by the architectural work of Shakaras and how they built the marvellous tunnel and hid it. Though the question was long it took them to build these tunnels.

"This ground is like a puzzle, which direction are we supposed to go?" I asked.

" I say let's follow the tunnels and see where they end." answered my father. We then followed the tunnels in our surrounding which provided an entry point to the ground on which we were standing.

"You are on your bright side, right?" Asked Roderick to cheer me up.

"Absolutely, my friend," I responded calmly.

After a long walk of forty minutes, we crossed all the tunnels and reached the dead end. But to our surprise, we found swords, shields, and armour laying alongside the wall. They were all made up of the greyish purplish metal found earlier.

"Its structure is as hard as the metal which blocked our way in King Tisdale's room," Musif leren said holding one of the armour. The same blade responsible for both the king's death was also there.

"But where are they right now?" I questioned.

"It seems like a dead end. Maybe the Shakaras don't stay here," said father.

"Excuse me warrior John, I think there is a hidden way through this wall," remarked Roderick pointing towards the wall present to our right.

The tiny hole which hid the tunnel in the entire city was also present on the wall. My father then destroyed the hole, from its boundary, and we got to see another circular tunnel. Behind which, it seemed to live, another city.
