The ghost comes

The ghost, floating a couple feet of the ground, was either not paying attention, or could not understand what Fred said. Fred ran up to her and jumped, tring to pull her robes to get her attention. Obviously, he went clean through the robes, and fell back down.

The ghost, however, seemed to notice this odd behavior, and floated until she was level with him.

Fred got up, and spoke very slowly in case the ghost didn't understand him. "I... said..." he made a gesture towards his mouth to indicate talking, "you're... coming..." he mimed the action of pulling her arms towards him, even though his hands still went clean through her, "with... us..." he pointed towards velus and himself, and then to the tunnel leading back to the market place.

The ghost was overjoyed! She flew high into the air, and spread her arms out. There were several flashes of colored light, as if fireworks had materialized out of nowhere.

"Well," said Fred, rather pleased with himself, "she seems to have gotten it."

Velus, however stared in awe. How could she do that? How many ghostly powers did she have?

The ghost then flew down to Fred and put his arms around him, being careful to not let them fall through him. Velus saw as tears came out of the ghost's eyes, and rolled down towards her robe.

"Right, right," said Fred, pushing himself away from her "We need to move on." Since he still wasn't sure if the ghost understood him, he pointed towards the tunnel.

The ghost nodded, and followed them through the tunnel. They soon found themselves back at the marketplace. Fred looked around; everything was exactly as they had left it. However, from here he could spot two other tunnels. One of them was obviously the one they had followed to get here, the other led deeper into the cave.

1. They went back through the tunnel that led them here
2. They went deeper into the cave
