As soon as his father saw him Cruz saw the disappointment on his face. He'd took the lead the moment he got in ear shot. The man was dead but his father thought he was going to make a mess of this. He ordered him to cut the light off and Cruz would have protested if he thought it would get anywhere, but he knew better than that. And he was more concerned why they weren't going home right away.
They walked through the tunnels, Cruz's map was complete and his Dad kept going as if he had one of his own. "Sage has been preoccupied, you hacked into his system."
His dad laughed. "I told them what to look for and they found the hook. Sage will bury it once I tell him."
"Why? You could have just called. Let us know you were alive and all."
"Because I don't want Yun Kao to know about you or Sage." His father shushed him as they rounded a corner. In front of them was an iron grill that looked like it had been welded shut.
His father sighed. "Looks like we are finding another way out."
Cruz shook his head. "I may not be Nox, Dad, but I can do this." He seized the power behind the light and fire lept into his hands and he tried to losen the weld with the fire but it didn't work.
"Try a pry bar."
Cruz laughed. "I guess Nox uses fire a lot."
His dad joined in with is laughter. "He does, but only when it's the right tool for the job."
Cruz nodded and tried to take note of it. Earth and Air were a better use here. So he formed an lever and used the power and his own strength to pry the iron grate from the opening to the outside world.
