"The wind guide should arrive shortly to transport you to the sixth floor," said the two crystal golems. After those words, they slowly started to change back into the crystal slopes they had transformed from in the first place.
In the last moment before turning completely back into lifeless crystal, their voices echoed again to the group:
"Some of your friends should know that nothing in here can be brought outside."
"What does that mean?" Marian asked, confused, as she looked back at the group. But before she could find out anything more, a slight breeze swept over them. In the next second, a massive, forceful wind dragged them away through the same path they had arrived from—the narrow, tunnel-like passage and the slight crack they had entered through in the crystal—and straight out into the open.
From there, the wind continued to descend, bringing the group along with it as it headed toward the part where the sixth layer was located.
