| "I guess it's time to go through the final door." Casey commented as the door started to creak open. As everyone headed off towards it, Rocky didn't move. She was staring at the hourglass, fixated on it for some reason.

| Everyone was headed to the door, but Vincent stopped when he reached Rocky.
"Come on, Racquel." he said to her.
"We must make haste, and finish this."

| She didn't seem to be listening for a moment before approaching the hourglass, which was shockingly large, and looking at the top half from several different angles.
"Guys, don't go through that door." She said after a minute, not taking her eyes off of the sand in front of her.
"It's a ruse."

| Ash and Ashley were the ones closest to the door, but they stopped when they heard Rocky.
"What? A ruse?" Ash asked.
"Racquel, what are you referring to?" Vincent asked her, as he and the other looked to the giant hourglass.

| Rocky just motioned to the hourglass.
"I saw a glimmer of metal in there." She told them.
"I'm pretty sure the locket is actually located within the glass."
"... that would make sense. It would help to protect it." Kalin commented.
"But, how would we get it out?" Casey asked.

| Everyone seemed to turn and make their way over to the hourglass.
"Break it!" Ash said.
"Yeah, that works!" Rene added, as he started running towards it.

| Demi just sighed.
"Something tells me that won't work as well as you're thinking." She commented, and was right. As there were several attempts on the glass, Averie seemed to be thinking of something before walking over to Vincent.
"Do you happen to have a diamond on you at all?" She asked

| "A diamond?" he asked, before taking out a necklace with a small diamond on the end of it.
"Yeah... it's Rowena's. First piece of jewellery I've ever given to her." he said.
"The necklace part snapped, so she gave it to me to keep in my pocket for safe keeping... guess it came with me to the dream world."

| "Well, at least this isn't the real world." Averie said
"May I?" She asked. When he handed it to her, she headed back to the hourglass and very carefully used the diamond to score along the outside, close to the top, of the glass. When she reached the beginning point, she knocked on the glass a few times, and it cracked. The sand within fell free as she removed the top, and as the sand fell away the locket was revealed.

| "Most impressive." Vincent complimented.
"Damn... I don't think we could have done this without you." Rene added with a chuckle.

| "I work in law enforcement, I have to be resourceful." Averie said with a shrug as she grabbed the locket. As she did so though, it seemed everything in the room vanished, there was nothing there. It almost felt like even every sense of everything was gone. It wasn't, if one person decided to talk, they would all hear it, but none of the women were brave enough to try.

| All the males seemed to be completely lost, before Jaden broke the silence.
"Um... hello?" he asked.
"Can anyone... anyone hear me?"

| "Jaden!" Desiree exclaimed, relief in her voice moments before he could see her running towards him. He couldn't see very far in front of him, no one could, but he could still see.
"What is going on?" Ashley's voice echoed around them.

| "Good question." Andrew's voice replied, as Jaden started to make his way over to her.
"Seems this place has suddenly become unstable." Vincent commented.
"It's probably from the fact that one of us grabbed the locket." Lindsay surmised, as they all seemed to come into view... albeit looking like it was through a thick fog.
"It's probably an artefact that's not truly meant for a being of our realm to possess." he continued.
"Then why... would we even be told to search for it?" Rene then asked.
"Wish I knew..." Lindsay responded.

| Before anyone could answer, they felt a shift in that area of the realm.
"What was that!?" Averie asked, something almost akin to fear in her voice.
"Hey, Ave's, chill." Demi said. "I doubt any harm can truly come to us right now anyway."
"I..." Averie started but was cut off by a voice, the same voice from the order member earlier.
"That was a test." They told them. "It can only be held by those who reside in this realm, those that have the mark of the order."
