Intrigued, they set off to find it, starting at the old stone well. After discovering a secret passage, they descend into the well and crawl through a tunnel that leads to an ancient, forgotten city. As they explore, they feel an eerie energy surrounding them and find a glowing orb that reveals the history of the city.
