The tombstones

The leader enters the cave. So the line of slaves obediently marches into the right cave entrance. Followed by the guards.

A very stale odor that reminds everyone of rotting flesh insults the nostrils of everyone who marched into the cave. All the slaves pinch their nostrils shut, the guards do the same, but the leader does not.

"Are you sure this is the right entrance?" asks the navigator.
"Shut up or I will make you a slave!" snaps the leader.

The slave line and the guards continue into the cave. Strangely it did not get any darker as they proceed. They soon reach several makeshift tombstones (not the pizza). The tombstones are at the fork that split in two different directions.

1. The leader marches the slave line down the path that leads towards the light.
2. The leader marches the slave line down the path that leads towards the water.
3. The leader stops and examines the tombstones.
4. The leader marches on, but the Navigator asks the leader to stop to read the tombstones.
5. Nobody knows how to read, so the tombstones are dug up for future examination.
