It was normal to ask such a question since the surface above them was nothing but sand and sand. Since the ceiling was dark, it only meant that it was locked.
This drove Felix to believe that when they reach it, it would open up automatically. But, when that happens, they would be buried under tons of sand.
Not mentioning the inconvenience of experiencing it, Felix was more worried about getting spotted by creating such large activity.
'At least, we will be invisible.' Felix looked at Malissa and requested, 'Please fly ahead of us and scout the ceiling.'
'On it.'
Malissa unfolded her bat wings and flew rapidly above them. In less than five seconds, she was already touching the metallic grey ceiling.
She scanned it with her bracelet and the Queen gave her its details. Upon seeing that the materials were breakable easily by them, she went to relay the Intel back.
'That's good, if the ceiling refuses to open up after we reach 5 meters away from it, I want you to break it apa...'
Creeek!
Before Felix could finish his order, the ceiling began opening up slowly from the center.
'Prepare for impact!' Malak said while creating a fire cover above them.
Those with mass defensive abilities also used them to protect the team from the incoming waves of sand.
However, the expected sand didn't fall, instead, they were welcomed by the bright light of a sunny day and a blue clear sky!
'The hell?'
'How is it possible?! Where is the sand?'
Everyone was baffled and stunned by the sight. They turned to Felix, believing that he might know what's going on but he was just as confused as them.
But, he didn't need to think too deeply about it as they were about to reach the surface in few seconds and clear their confusions.
'Samir we are about to emerge prepare to retrieve us.' Felix informed after breaking out of his confused state.
'Understood.'
Out of nowhere, the cubic silver Northern Sentinel had emerged in their line of sight, making them realize that the sky wasn't an illusion as some of them thought.
