Third Pov
"We have to find the other waterfalls to fulfill our mission" Joshaque stated, but Exodus shook his head.
"I have to find someone first." Zeta becomes confused and comes to a halt.
"Can you tell me what you're saying?" How could you possibly find someone in a place you just entered a few hours ago?"
Before responding, Exodus sighs. "If you promise that you won't tell anybody Josh."
"You're such a strange guy." But assure me that whatever you say, I won't tell a soul."
"I need to locate the princess here." Because she might be thrown in here. Believe it or not, I saw her the night she turned into a wolf and rushed through the forest, diving into the waterfalls, only to be rescued by me. She's no longer here. I assumed she was no longer alive. But when I heard that there might be another way through the falls, I knew I had to come with you. Please don't misunderstand me. I didn't inform the late Alpha about this since I was worried they'd accuse me of murdering her. But believe me, if everything I say is a lie, I won't be this desperate. I have a hunch she was just a mess-lead into this place by accident. She couldn't just pass away like that. We both knew she was capable of much more. And she was the legitimate next leader of our clan, not the Beta, if I could find her."
Joshaque had been utterly taken aback. "Are you certain?" Yes, it's true that I haven't seen our princess in a day or two, but really? Because if it is then you're right. She was the rightful next to the Alpha though she was a girl since she hadn't married yet.
"I was thinking the same thing. "Are you going to assist me?" Joshaque nods as Exodus inquires.
"However, if we can't find her for a day, we'll have to proceed to the next waterfall." We don't have enough time in the world, you know. I was only doing it for our clan and the princess, despite the fact that she was a huge pain most of the time. I remained one of her bodyguards. Also, thanks for paying tribute to the late Alpha." Joshaque went on to say.

"What place is this Erich? It reminds me of our palace, but it's too old."
I said that because I couldn't help myself. Erich escorted me to a palace that looked exactly like ours. Our palace has a large wall in front of it, so you can't see the big front door. Unlike this one, there was no wall that could protect the whole palace. Despite this, the palace was extremely secure, with each window perfectly sealed. It doesn't have a wall, yet the palace's materials are powerful enough to withstand any stronger beast. No one attempted to crawl into the palace because I sensed a magical force around it.
"Did you know that no one could open this palace, and they said that inside of it was a map that could lead to the solution to how we could get out of the underworld?" No one could ever get inside since the pure blooded beast had vanished." Erich remarked.
I was blown away. This is the first time I've heard of a viable way out of this bleak environment. Is there a map? Is it for real? And what exactly did she mean by "pure blood"?
"Are you serious about this?" Or was it all a hoax? And what exactly are you saying about pure blood?" In a state of befuddlement, I inquire.
"Do I appear to be lying?" It wasn't a myth; everything I said was true. And when it came to pure blood, it was those of royal blood."
I make a brow furrow. Because the blood she was referring to was the hue of my blood, which was no myth to us in my clan because all royal blood has the same color.
"Look, I know it sounds ridiculous, but it happened. All I knew about those pure blood wolves was from our history books. I'm not sure if they were real or not because neither my mother, grandmother, nor great-grandmother have seen one. So if what I say was the first thing you heard, it's no longer my concern."
I let out a sigh. "All right, Erich, I believe you. You are not need to be enraged. But I'm confused about the pure blood that you've been implying. Because if a royal blood to all of you here was pure wolf then there is no pure blood? What was they look like?"
Erich laughed, and she even swatted my shoulder in the process. Even though it didn't hurt me, I was perplexed.
"You were hilarious, Serena. What part of the world did you come from? Have you gone to school or have your parents not sent you? You didn't know even the most basic facts about us? Full blood meant pure wolf and nothing else, but I and everyone else here was half snake. Why aren't you like the rest of us? Woah hold up. Maybe that's what my mother said. That you were unique. What are you if you're not like us?"
I didn't respond to her inquiry; instead, I asked her a question.
"How would this door open if it were opened by a pure blood wolf?" "What would a pure wolf have to do?" you might wonder.
Erich lets out a sigh. "Have you seen that hand mark on the front door?" he asked. They must lean their hand there for a little while, after which the pure blood hand will be slashed to release a small amount of blood."
I gave a nod. Isn't it possible that if I try, it won't cut my entire hand?
"It would be dangerous, Serena." "What if something happens to you?" you might wonder. Elena spoke up out of nowhere.
"However, have you heard that inside that old palace was the map for how we can get out of this underworld?" If that was true, it was hugely helpful. I'm sure I can convince my father that there is a way out."
"But what if it would harm you or something?" Elena continues to argue, but I have already determined to move closer to the entrance.
"Serena what are you doing?"
In a panic, Erich inquires.
"You said that the map of escaping to this place was inside of this palace right?"
"Yes, but I did tell you that only pure blood could enter that palace." And all of the pure blood was nowhere to be found, and just because you're from an unknown clan doesn't guarantee you'll be able to access it."
Erich expressed his dissatisfaction.
"But what if I could open it?" I said
