“It’s moving!”

“It’s moving!”

“Mr. Hale, look! That giant stone is being pushed!”

“As long as both boulders obstruct the dam, the engineering team can begin

fortifying it! All the gear onshore is already in place and prepared!”

Ethan’s assistant and the others excitedly shouted in his ear.

Ethan felt just as exhilarated–and even more anxious!

One boulder alone wouldn’t suffice; they needed both to seal the breach so

the engineering team could assist.

“Come on! You guys can do it!”

Ethan led the cheers, even though he knew Emmanuel and Santiago

underwater probably couldn’t hear them.

“Push harder!”

“Let’s go!”

“Keep going!”

Even if one voice couldn’t reach them, the combined cheers of hundreds, if

not thousands, would surely drown out the roar of the raging river.

Under the water, Emmanuel heard the encouragement echoing from above

and was deeply moved. Overcome with emotion, he pushed forward with

every ounce of strength, even though it felt like his body might tear apart.

Around his neck, the Heart of the Sun began to glow faintly beneath the

water.

“Look! It’s moving!”

“They’re merging!”

Boom!

Finally, the two giant boulders came together, sealing the breach in the dam.

The river’s flow slowed dramatically, and the force of the current diminished

almost instantly. The rescue team on the shore rushed in to reinforce the

dam.

Beneath the water, Emmanuel and Santiago exchanged a glance. Both of

them were utterly exhausted, pushed to their limits, yet they smiled at each

other.

“We did it!”

“We actually did it!”

“With the dam repaired, we’ve contained the disaster!”

Cheers erupted from the crowd on the shore as they celebrated the success.
