      The water reached the crowd and they all blacked out from the hit. When they woke up, they looked for how to escape. They decided to head for the trees. Soon, they faced another problem. In front of them, a soldier from the opposite army was sleeping on their path. They needed some time to come up with a solution, but than Coriko suggested that the best idea was that he took a rock and hit the soldier with it. The hope was that he would black out. Pippa and some other Diggers were not so happy about this idea because
there is a chance that this hit might lead to death, which some people do not support. Coriko ignored them and headed for the masked man. He hits the man with the rock and succeeds to put him to sleep. Unfortunately, some of the soldiers on the same side as this one heard Coriko and started merging toward Coriko. The Diggers had to make a run for it, Trees were their shelter. As soon as they hid deep enough into the trees, they decided to make a overnight there, Some of them were fascinated by the trees because they did not see them before in their life.
    The next morning, the Diggers started early. They found a clear exit from the trees. The exit was a beach. They decided to follow the beach. At one point they came to a wooden object they did not see before. But,Tia and Bran did. They saw it before because they have just arrived to the island from the outside world. The object was a boat. They continued. At one point, they saw a village. They decided to go toward it and see what it looks like. On the entrance to the village, the Diggers found themselves in the middle of a bunch of black huge rocks. They had writing and symbols on them. Tia recognized what it was. It was a graveyard. The rocks were graves. She explained that dead people were buried under those. Diggers were very confused by this, because the Spears threw dead bodies into the ocean. And now this. The walk was resumed. After not so long, they came to the village. There was smoke around it. They entered. As soon as they entered they noticed dead bodies everywhere. Pippa saw there was a dead pregnant women. She wanted to help her, but she couldn't. Thief, one of the Diggers, alerted Coriko that he saw dead bodies of Spears.
