The little girl name Camilla tagged his arm and ran off into the darkness. 

'Shit!' Ricardo thought to himself. [b]"What's she thinking?"[/b] This second thought escaped his lips rather loudly as he began to chase after her. Slowly, he began closing in on her footsteps. His longer legs and love for soccer made this an easy task. Light started shining from the end of the tunnel, and at the tunnels edge stood Camilla. He slowed his pace gradually until he stood by her side. 

At first he wanted to scold her for running off so carelessly, but the sight below was too overwhelming. How could an entire city like this exist underground? It was beautiful but eerie at the same time. The lights and music were jolly, but there seemed to be lava flowing around between the buildings. He couldn't put his finger on it, but something was terribly wrong. 

Ricardo didn't even notice Grey's presence until he spoke up, talking about the city below. 

[b]"No, I've never seen anything like this."[/b] Looking down at the steep slope below, Ricardo could only agree, [b]"Yeah, very carefully."[/b] With this he sat down at the edge of the tunnel. His feet found a couple rocks. As he started shifting his wieght onto the rocks, he looked back into the tunnel. He wondered if he should wait on the other two... Andy and Abby. 

Ricardo should have been concentrating more. The rocks beneath his feet gave way. He found himself sliding down the hill on his back. It would almost have been an exciting experience if the occasional jagged rock didn't rip up his back side. Compared to the hall of fire though, it wasn't that bad. 

Now at the bottom, Ricardo sat as still as he could till the pain went away, which was surprisingly fast. Standing up, he looked up the side of the slope and yelled out, [b]"Yeah, very VERY carefully!"[/b] On the bright side, he knocked most of the rocks loose on the way down. If anyone slid down the same way he did, it probably wouldn't be as bad.
