The tribespeople didn't hesitate; they turned and ran desperately towards the entrance of the cave.
Children cried as adults held them tightly in their arms, while the elderly members of the tribe relied on the shoulders of the young people, trudging along with difficulty.

He didn't understand why the outsiders were taking such extreme measures. Didn't they know the power of the altar couldn't be buried?
"Do they... do they really think this can stop the power of the altar?"
