The Summit

Apollo could not continue because thick vines and bushes blocked the way. He lifted his two front hooves in the air and continued neighing. Then it looked at Vasquez and snorted. 

"Cut the vines!" Marx worded what Apollo cannot say.

Vasquez got off his horse, took out his folding knife, and started cutting through the vines. His knife was very sharp. Though it wasn't long like a sword it cut like a sword.

Soon, Vasquez made an opening big enough for one horse to enter. 

"It is a tunnel but it is just around two meters long." Vasquez stepped back to allow  Marx to peep.

"Let's go." 

He led Apollo inside the tunnel. Amaya and Artemis followed while Vaquez and his horse who he called Toffee went last.

At the end of the tunnel, a huge plateau greeted their sight.

Princess Amaya gasped in surprise.

Marx froze.

Vasquez's mouth formed a big O without making any sound.
