It was only after throwing himself into the dark pit that opened that Uriel realized that the trapdoor will soon close by itself, aning it was a one way trip and the only way out was through. Being trapped in a sealed chamber was already bad, but for Uriel it could possibly an an eternity of that as he didn't know if he was even able to age at this point.
Water warlock provided him many benefits that allowed him to take risks no one else could, but at the sa ti it added a whole set of different dangers. Being eaten alive, being trapped or anything that could potentially get him stuck for eternity.
Still, as he fell into the dark pit the only think he could think of was of his friends and how even risking being trapped forever was nothing compared to the thought of them dying.
Uriel then landed on a rock ledge, which caused him so pain but no harm whatsoever. Everything was dark, but he didn't miss sothing that ca flying directly from bellow the pit and crashed onto the now sealed trapdoor.
"Nooo!" Sam shouted when he confird that he was still trapped.
"Sam! You're ok!?"
"Uriel, what are you doing here?"
"I ca to rescue you all, where are the others?"
"Thank you! Thank you! We're losing our minds down here." Sam said as he leaned closer for a hug, realizing too late that one of his friend's arms was missing. "What happened to you?"
"I sort of lost it trying to open the entrance."

"So you did it! Quick! do it again!"
"I- I can't. The door closes as soon as the lever is let go." Uriel didn't understand what was going on but he noticed how Sam sounded so worried.
"You shouldn't have co, you really shouldn't. Why didn't you at least wait for to fly outside!?"
"How was I supposed to know you would do sothing like that?" Uriel rebuked and Sam finally cald himself down.
"There's no point in arguing, just co with ."
"Hang on a second," Uriel took the chance to buy himself so clothes from the souvenir shop, as well as so flashlights. "let's go."
With Sam's help, Uriel was able to land safely on the bottom of the pit and what he saw left him speechless. The flashlight revealed an open area where all of his crew mates and friends, along with the inhabitants of Hanga Roa, were lying flat on the ground.
"What happened here!?" Uriel let out thinking they were dead, but his loud voice prompted those with traits to wake up abruptly.
"We have no ans to know the ti of day, so we adjusted our ti schedules to keep so sort of sanity." Sam explained, though Uriel was more interested in looking for his friends.
The first one he found was dusa, whose trait made her stand out like a sore thumb in the dark cave. She was wearing Sam's T-shirt and the bikini bottom, which was hardly enough clothing to keep warm in such a humid and cold place.
"Uriel! You're finally here! I knew you'd co for us. I..." dusa said teary eyed as she went in for a hug. She was cold and her clothes were wet, which ca as no surprise given the conditions of the cave, but before Uriel could reply Sam cut dusa short.
"Don't be so excited yet, this moron ca in and the trapdoor closed behind him," Sam scoffed and then continued. "anyway, now that you're here there's a lot of things you need to know."
"Shhh! Let's talk about that in private, I'll go get the girls." dusa shushed.
Uriel wondered why his friends were scattered all over the place instead of remaining together, but he hoped that the explanation he would receive would make sense of things. Sam led Uriel to the other side of the cave, where the dirt on the ground gave way to sothing similar to gravel that made a crunching sound at every step.
It could have been many different things like gravel, sand, sea shells, but given the na of the cave Uriel already knew it was most likely crushed human bones. After a few minutes of awkward silence, dusa brought Nika, Luna and also a woman Uriel didn't know.
"This is Ika, a local, and I think it's better if the explanation cos from her mouth." dusa introduced the woman next to her.
"It's nice eting you, Ika." Uriel said, trying to act as though Luna wasn't desperately rubbing herself all over him like a puppy that missed its owner.
"Is it true that you ca from outside!? Did you see my boyfriend? He's a handso man on his thirties, he has kind eyes and the most gentle expression on his face all the ti." The woman whisper-shouted.
"Yes, I ca from outside. I don't know how to tell you this but," He really had no clue about the proper way to express his condolences to soone who just lost soone. "the only person I t was a hermit that wears camo pants, has a grumpy expression set on his face and a weird beard."
"It's him! That's Manu!" The woman cheered with what little energy was left in her famished body. "I'm so glad he's safe, why didn't he co with you?"
"I wonder the sa thing," Uriel shrugged his shoulders. "anyhow, soone needs to explain what's going on right now."
"I'll tell you what's going on," Soone that resembled Nika, only way thinner and paler, limped towards Uriel. "I need it, give it to ." She continued trying to sound sexy, only her tone of voice was disturbing.
Before Uriel could say anything, Nika knelt down in front of him and let herself fall into Uriel's shadow.
"There's so much to explain, but I don't know what would be the point. There's nothing you can do to help us now. We're all dood." Ika's expression beca grim.
