"Well if you say so." said Viviana

"I trust you, Moon, you'll be fine." said Chika

"Okay, in any case, I'll start revealing the pathways." said Vermillion

Vermillion then uses his powers to create lines throughout a large amount of area above the ocean...this can take a while...

"Unfortunately, I can't reveal the switch with my power, but you can sense it as you get closer to it. Also be careful not to walk the same path lines too many times, the paths will vanish which you'll then fall into the ocean, but you'll be fine." said Vermillion

"I see... Well at least we won't be running around blindly. Let's do this." said Viviana

"Yeah!" said Chika

"Okay, go for it you three." said Vermillion

Viviana and Chika start to run up to the lines as they start to split up into different directions. As they walk along the pathways, for each step they take, the path behind them turns from blue to yellow.

"Hmm... Interesting... Well good luck everyone..." said Vermillion

She started to walk along the pathway and took a right. She closed her eyes and tried to sense the switch as she walked...She took a left path.

Since the path's color change while they walk it was very easy for them to keep track, and not retrace any steps...unless if they really have to... 10 minutes later, everyone makes excellent ground as their combined efforts covered 25% of the paths, but eventually Vermillion's power gives out as then the lines vanish too. Viviana and Chika immediately stop walking as walking blindly can be dangerous, especially if one misstep will make them all into the ocean.

"Sorry ladies... I got to take a break... Give me about ten minutes, and I'll get the lines back." said Vermillion

"Fine by me. Just so as long as our waiting spots don't disappear on us." said Viviana

"With so many forks and paths... Unless if you got a photographic memory, there's no way I'm walking blindly until the lines come back." said Chika

Moon continued to walk...She didn't notice the lines had disappeared, but she walked without fear...She kept her eyes closed and kept walking...She seemed to be walking along the path. She took a middle path. Viviana and Chika would be able to see her...

"Moon is continuing walking along the paths...despite them being invisible..." said Viviana

"And not even looking either..." said Chika

As Moon continues to walk she can start to feel a faint pulse, which also made Vermillion feel it as well, but if she keeps walking without any guidance she's going to fall through a gap at a incoming three way fork that splits diagonally-left, diagonally-right, and right paths.

"Moon is getting closer to the secret switch, but how can she continue to walk despite not seeing where the paths are... Does she have a photographic memory?" said Vermillion deep within his thoughts

She continued to walk and she reached the gap. She jumped over it and landed on the other side. She continued to walk.

Everyone was surprised by Moon jumping over the gap, and still landed on a pathway regardless of not seeing it.

"That's unbelieveable..." said everyone deep within their thoughts

Eventually the feeling gets a bit more stronger, but still not enough for an exact pinpoint. Moon still needs to go straight ahead, but also which out for upcoming gaps. Vermillion needs three more minutes to charge up for them to move forward.

She continues to go forward...She jumped over an incoming gap and continued.

Vermillion rested long enough for him to recreate the pathway line, allowing Viviana and Chika to move again.

"Try to converge where Moon is at, she's getting closer to the area where the switch is." said Vermillion

The two obeyed as they start to try and converge close to Moon, carefully avoiding crossing her pathway as she continues forward. Eventually the signal is getting stronger now, but this time the directional sense changes as it's now coming more from the top-right area now.

"Moon, try to head to the top right area, the signal is getting stronger there. There's also another upcoming fork on your path that splits between top-left, left, and right. Take the right path...even though it's going to take you a bit off the track, but it's still a very slight detour that you can easily get back to. Also Viviana and Chika are on their way." said Vermillion

She nodded acknowledging that she heard and continued in silence. She reached the fork and took a right.

Viviana and Chika almost were about to converge on Moon's location as she moves forward in the right direction, with Viviana coming in on the her left, and Chika coming in on her right. Eventually they too sense that they're close as they look around for any possible spots where the switch lies. As time passes, with Moon still being the closest as she continues to head more to the top-right area, Vermillion starts to sense something strange as Moon is headed for another gap, but this time it's not from a fork in the road, instead it vanishes suddenly.

"Wait, Moon, don't jump over that upcoming gap! Please stop where you are!" cried Vermillion

She immediately stopped. She kept her eyes closed and breathed in and out deeply...

Vermillion breathes a sigh of relief that Moon stopped where she's at instead of jumping over the gap this time.

"Something is not right where you are at, Moon... I wonder... Moon, can you feel something beyond the area where the gap is?" said Vermillion

If Moon takes out her hand forward to the gap, she'll feel an invisible wall blocking her path.

She reaches out her hand. She keeps her eyes closed. ~There's a wall blocking the path.~ She thought to him.

"Thought as much... You three are getting closer to the switch, so naturally there are actual dead ends..." said Vermillion

Suddenly, once again, Vermillion power runs out again as the lines disappear again.

"I need to rest again, be sure to stay still for a bit ladies, as walking around in a pathway maze without guiding lines and invisible walls is very dangerous. Just give me time, once again." said Vermillion

"Okay." said both Viviana and Chika

She turned back and went along the path and stopped at the fork.

"Still keeping going, I see Moon. Unfortunately I don't have a photographic memory, especially seeing how far you three have gotten, so you're on your own until I can remake the lines. I suggest you really stay put as you can't just jump or fly over the invisible walls, I'm sure whoever put this together has made an account to such." said Vermillion

Meanwhile, Viviana and Chika patiently await for the guide lines to appear again, now that they know that paths can become dead ends without anyway to bypass them other than going around them.

She makes a staff appear in her hand. She holds it out straight. She walks along the path while holding the staff out. This will tell her when she reaches a dead end.

"Now why haven't I thought of that?" said both Viviana and Chika deep within their thoughts

Both Viviana and Chika summons out their staffs as they used them similar how blind people walk by letting the bottom of the stickpoint run down on the ground. This allows them to make progress despite not seeing the guide lines, but it's still a slow progress to search around.

"Goodness you ladies are very resourceful... If I was a Life Crystal, I would say that I really underestimated you." said Vermillion deep within his thoughts

After a while, Vermillion's has enough power again as he makes the guide lines appear again.

"Okay, let's see if you can find it during this pass." said Vermillion

"Mistress Chika, this is a good time as any to double time it." said Viviana

"I agree, let's run." said Chika

This time, with the guide lines appeared, both Viviana and Chika run throughout the area, bumping down dead ends and routes very quickly.

She starts to run as well, but at a faster pace. She takes a left-right and then a left and then a middle passage.
