Pool of Water II (or) the Backwards Tale

"Aaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiggghhhhhhhhhhhhssshhhhhhhiiiiiiiiii------!!!!!!!!" screamed Velus as he ran from the chamber back towards the blue pool.

"Aaaaaiiiiiigh!!!" screamed Exotica as she ran from the chamber back towards the blue pool.

"Aaaaaiiiiigh!!!!!!" screamed Fred as he ran from the chamber back towards the blue pool.

Two minutes ago:

There were boulders within the place and as they turned corners they found shadows and lichens, they saw strange webs and pebbles of sheer violet. The place was bright now with colors - greens and reds and purples and greys. Then they heard a sound.

Ten minutes ago:

The threesome walked dryshod through the center of the pool and headed down the cavern which appeared on it's other side. The knight, the witch, and Velus found themselves in yet another underground chamber. It was large with some stalagmites, the air seemed fresh and there was a gentle light filtering as if through the very stone sides. The threesome continued their walk, hoping to find an exit somewhere, anywhere.

Fifteen minutes ago:

The woman Exotica began to move her hips and raise her hands in a most smooth gesture, her fingertips seemed to be playing an invisible harp; then she uttered strange words, the sounds shooting forth from her lips in sharp contrast to the soft whirls of her body: "Hrvtzene sloup i nver kblam! Shoochouthuophoi, hram iy vlak brich towoh'o!!!"

A shimmering appeared over the pool of water and then it began to ripple, to waver, to flow backwards from the center! Then the threesome walked through.
