| 'huh.' her tone was one of contempt, still holding her knives in her hand, nostrils flared, smelling the air again, the strongest scents had...faded? they know we're here. | |

| Topher: "Can't they just say.. 'If ya weren't intimidated by the last door, go on in?'"
Matthew: "It doesn't matter what has to happen, we must protect Cynder." | |

| Layton looked calmly at Topher.
"Now, now. A true gentleman is always patient..."
A pause, a strike of realization crossed Layton. He turned to Artemis.
"Mr. Strayer, is it possible that you can read this? I have no doubt it some sort of pass-code..." | |

| Topher: -I look at Layton curiously.- "You would REALLY get along with my mum wouldn't you?"
Artemis: "Perhaps... let me see what I can do." -I walk forward and start trying to decipher it.- | |

| Useless as usual, Amaya. she snorted to herself, almost being dragged out of her concentration, splitting into another duplicate. 'Whereas I, have no mannerisms what-so-ever.' she smirked. | |

| Layton looked curiously over at Amaya.
"Miss Amaya, don't worry. If I'm correct, it seems that each door so far has matched something of each of us, as if designed from either Cynder's memories themselves, or as a test to show that they know more then we think they do."
A pause, Layton watched Artemis quietly, straightening his hat.
"... But I have this feeling like something terrible will happen... I just know it..."
------Meanwhile------
The ironworks was a large place, with the huge furnace burning brightly with the hot fire used to mine the iron, and to make several things. Cynder already was sweating from the heat, and she curled herself into a ball, her shoulders shaking.
Ged watched the door quietly, touching his wounded arm. Fuin was helping the women with the bellows.
The other men from the Underground got to work with guns and swords and things of the like, while the free women began to cook to help keep up the others' strength.
And it seemed slow. As if every minute that ticked by was hours. | |

| 'And that, is foreshadowing my friend. Bad shit always happens.' she shrugged, her duplicate looking around dumbly. Amaya had an ominous patience about her, mainly because she'd really had nothing better to do than be here. | |

| Topher: "Hey May! Try for a little optimism, would ya?" -I whisper to her pointing at Matthew who was worried sick.-
Artemis: "Got it." -I say as I finish the code.- | |

| Layton blinked, a surprised look crossing his face at the second door shook, slowly pulling open.
And there was the third door, right in front of them again.
This time, impenetrable, with a small cross-shaped indent.
"Intriguing.." | |

-I take off the cross Cynder gave me, for the first time ever. I kiss it and go to place it into the slot.- | |

| Amaya? optimistic?
She wandered over to Matthew and placed an arm comfortingly around his shoulder. 'It's a'ight, I'm sure we'll be all riding on unicorns and painting rainbows together soon enough.'
Amaya pointed to the door. 'Chin up, Cyn needs you.' | |

| (( Oh my God. I want to ride unicorns and paint rainbows. :DDDD I'll go get Voldy, he'll be thrilled to hear this. -runs off- )))
Layton was smiling. These doors seemed easy enough to pass.
The third door slowly lowered, opening to the person who had given it the key. And again, there was another door a few paces ahead, with thick gearwork and levers and things of the like. But no key. No key slot. Just a painting of a four-leafed clover.
The fourth door- the second to last. | |

Easy, too easy? nah, you're just being paranoid Maya. she and her duplicate stood side by side, waiting and watching, slightly curious, but overall calm. | |

| Topher: "Well... what the hell do we do for this one?"
Artemis: "Well the insignia IS of a four leaf clover, commonly associated with good luck."
Topher: "So what? I need to feed the door good luck?"
Artemis: "That's my bet."
Topher: "Alright then..." -I close my eyes and think of Potion, especially of her agreeing to marry me. And then my eyes snap open and I look at the door, lacing it with good luck.- | |

| (( Happy Voldy is happy. c: And Mer, Amaya's door is next. c: The last, as well. woloolooooo))
Good Luck. Pure luck. There seemed to be a chuckle emanating from the door as the painting turned bright gold, the gearworks beginning to turn and the levers pumping in mass effort. The iron door lifted.
And the last door sat before them. Just a blank plate of iron. No Hint. No picture. No Riddle. No Puzzle. Just an iron wall with one small hole, large enough for a blade.
"... mmm..." | |

| woo!
She wandered up to the gap, eyeing it for a long moment, before fumbling in her belt for the appropriate blade. Amaya gestured for the others to move back, and shutting her eyes briefly, she hurled the knife, wedging it precisely into the gap.
'Simple enough, am i right?' | |

| At the blade meeting the indent, a sudden screech sounded from the door.
It echoed around the room in intense chaos, shaking the walls, sending dirt down the sides of it.
The door gleamed, as a sudden heat swept over the thing, turning the iron red in fiery heat that could melt flesh clear off bone.
Layton moved forward quickly and took hold of Amaya's shoulder, pulling her backwards slightly, away from the door as the thing swung towards them and slammed into the walls, where Amaya could have been killed if she hadn't moved or been moved.
The dirt walls hissed with the heat of the doors- but that wasn't what awed Layton.
Light had poured into the door-room, and an astounding place shone clearly. This was the underground, then. But it seemed completely deserted. | |

| The feel of hands on her shoulder brought her into awareness again, face setting into her concentrated mask. 'Thank you....' she inhaled deeply, noting the lack of smells now, they had moved. 'Damn.' | |

| Topher: -I look around at everything in wonder.- "Holy crap.... " -I say in amazement.-
Artemis: "This is just like my home... an entire city, buried under the ground." -It makes me wonder if the Strayers and these people had any kind of connection.-
Matthew: "Why isn't anyone here? I would think if they knew we were coming they'd have everyone ready to fight us." | |

| Layton remained quiet as he removed his hand from Amaya's shoulder and straightened his hat.
He walked forward quietly and blinked out as his eyes adjusted to the light. A strange wave of dizzyness seemed to sweep over him, but soon faded again.
He scowled at this strange happening before smiling slightly.
"Probably because their leader is more concerned with protection. Look there-"
He motioned to a large dome-looking building with clouds of smoke pouring from the chimney.
Footprints and hoofprints lead down toward it.
"They're in there.." | |

| -I nod my head.- "I agree. We need to get inside, get Cynder and get out. We're at an overwhelming disadvantage in this place."
-I speak with wisdom beyond my years.-
