Dennis stood beneath the strange faces and spoke out loud.

Upon speaking the numbers, the floor shook. The heads began to slowly light up one by one. Suddenly one extended outwards and shifted, staring down at the group as if it were suddenly alive. It spoke in Ancient Greek and more followed suit.

As the voice spoke, the flowing waterfall shifted slightly. The mist began to form into an image of a room. It was a standard sized room with exits to the North and South. The room was full of training equipment and straw. There were wooden training dummies, although one dummy was fully armed with a sword and shield. It was wearing a very sturdy looking Greek breastplate.

For a while the room was perfectly still, but something emerged from the South as the group looked on. Time was shifting at a fast rate on the display but it was easy to see what was happening. A large skeletal figure, clad all in black was moving up from the South. It was wielding two silver daggers with skulls on the handles. They had the initials "DV" engraved on them. The figure reached the Northern exit and then phased through it in a flash of purple sparks.

The same thing happened again before too long, with another figure similar to the first one. And again shortly after that, marking three that had moved the same way. Then something new happened. Another figure came into the room from the South. This one wasn't a skeleton though. They all recognised Tyrese, standing there clear as day. He walked over to the training dummy and walked away again, heading up for the Northern exit. The dummy was now bare of all its equipment.

Another skeleton followed the same path as the others shortly after. Soon after that, there was a flash in the middle of the room. Purple sparks danced away across the floor, revealing a set of five figures standing suddenly in the middle of the room. They were Airlea, Eleanor, General Chuikov, Kristoff and Mark. The figures sat around and talked noiselessly for a while before all of them departed through the Northern exit.

One more skeleton made a path from South to North and then the image faded. The heads returned to their still stone form and the water flowed as normal.

Andrael took his turn standing at the foot of the stone watchers.

Once more the heads came to life, chanting in their mysterious Greek tongue and the waterfall shifted images to something different.

An image of a room appeared, twice the width of a standard room. An exit moved on on the East, and a Northern exit on the Eastern side. There was also a Southern exit on the Western side. The layout of the room was like that of a dank cave. It wasn't pitch black, and it seemed quite airy. An enormous stalactite overhead was teetering unsteadily. Beneath it, a geyser was bubbling away on the ground. It was sealed by rubble.

In a sudden flash, one of the skeletons appeared in the middle of the floor, screeching out silently and shaking. It stopped what it was doing and proceeded to drift towards the East, eventually phasing through the exit. Shortly after another one drifted in from the North, phasing out through the East exit. Two more followed from the North heading out South.

Then another entity appeared. It had the appearance of a woman, but it was shrouded in shadow and had a dark, coldness to it. It drifted across the floor, inhuman, trailing shadow behind it. It had come in through the East and it was moving up towards the Northern exit. Momentarily, it stopped and turned to the waterfall, flashing dark, cold empty eyes at the group of watchers. They felt a shiver run down their collective spines. But it quickly departed the room, leaving it empty once again.

Another skeleton drifted in from the East, moving North. After that one came in from the North and moved South, and a final one came in from the East again but moved South this time. The images slowly faded and the waterfall returned to normal.
