>"Hey, wait," says Maribel. "If you're doing that, I'm coming with you. It's one thing to split up normally, but I don't want to be left behind when tiny!"

>With Maribel in tow, you open a gap to the twisted pillar, and step through it to find yourself in front of the shrine, small enough to fit into it. From there, it is easy enough to open a gap and bring yourself to the tunnel
>Stepping into the mouth of the tunnel, you can see that it is smooth and vaguely oval-shaped. descending down into the mountain. Ahead, it curves to the left. You can definitely feel the sensation of power from the whatever is creating it below.
>"Mind if I hold that glass so I can see?" says Maribel. "I'll do my best not to drop it."

>Proceed down the tunnel.

>You produce the disk and give it to Maribel, who takes it in hand and holds it like a tray in front of her with both hands. "Yeah, that's a bit better," she says.
>The two of you proceed down the tunnel, taking care to keep your footing as it descends. Following it as it turns leftward, the tunnel takes you further and further downward, its walls featureless and smooth. After a few moments, you can see white markings along the walls, forming three roughly square-shaped spirals. You can feel the power emanating from them clearly. You don't think Maribel can see them yet, the light doesn't seem to have reached that far.

>Closely examine the markings.

>You approach the markings, and take a closer look at them. The markings themselves are rough, but has a same general sort of artistic style as the one underneath the tiny shrine. The power it contains is related to borders. You are quite sure this must compose the rest of your wrench.
>"Ah, there it is," says Maribel, as she finally comes within sight of the spirals. "I knew there had to be another one down here. Do you think that they move?"

>"Right," says Maribel, as she falls into step behind you.
>Descending deeper down, the path continues to gently spiral leftward. After a short distance, you note that the ground becomes to develop cracks in it. Then it becomes rougher and more broken, as though there were some kind of earthquake. Footing becomes treacherous. Then you stop suddenly, nearly causing Maribel to collide into you, see a root along the right wall, the scales of its bark like the side of a rocky cliff, clashing with the surrounding tunnel. It is a little difficult to keep your breathing under control, and very difficult to ignore the cold knot that has blossomed in your stomach.

>You touch the sigil. Much like the other one, you can feel as though it is trying to reach out toward you for a moment, which fades away. You can sense its potential easily.
