Our companions vanished last night, but they left something awful behind them: they’d shed their skins like snakes. We anxiously followed two slithering trails into the forest.

The tracks have led us to what can only be the temple where Sally’s great-great grandfather found the Ikhata, which he donated to the Société Belge. The ruins are the source of the metamorphic otherworldly waters. This is where the meteorite must have landed in 1892.

Sally says she hears something. Is it Ramón? We have to enter the temple.

I’ve just realised — the Ikhata isn’t an effigy, it’s a key…
