The stone idol wasn’t in June’s care. That wasn’t her task. Her task had been to help her companions wade through the area surrounding the old underwater city. Strange sea creatures that looked nothing short of bizarre mutations to what one might expect to find in the depths of a real ocean lurked there -at this point they all knew anything was possible in The Grid, strange beasts and all- and June had made use of her portals to get them away from those potential threats and closer to the maze-like ruins.
“The layout of this level is encrypted. I’ll try to crack it to let you know which way to go, but it seems you’ll have to rely on that stone thing for now” Jonas’ voice was heard in their communication devices. “Noted” June replied before she looked back at her companions. “Anything? Is it glowing more?” she asked as she swan closer to the one who was carrying the stone idol. That thing had started to glow faintly the closer they got to the Ruins of Kandam, like the temple where it belonged was calling to it and the idol was calling back, wishing to be delivered.
