After finishing eating their lunch, Aquarina and her friends had a lot of free time to do whatever they wanted. With the entire Ritual finally done, there wasn't much they could do other than explore the vast jungles within the Crater Oasis.
Apparently the place formed a jungle not only because of the water but also due to the Crater itself, the temperatures were much lower, and the shade created by the cliffs, alongside the water and more humid temperatures created a rich soil that didn't constantly burn below the strong sun above the skies.
Aquarina and her friends learned most of this by talking with Agua and her mother, whose name was Aguarapida, something they discovered only recently when someone came looking for her.
"Chief Aguarapida, we'll need some of your assistance giving the finishing touches to the formation…" The shamans walked to her side. "The structure itself is fine, but we thought we could perfect it a bit more to please the Spirit."
