We decided to rest near the lamp for the time being, both for me and Lucecito to catch our breath, and for six to recover from nearly getting squeezed to death.
Amy was on the ground right next
to the lamp napping, while six and I
sat side-by-side with our backs on the
makeshift ladder of wooden boards
that led to the scaffolding above us.
Eventually, after a while of sitting there and making sure six was okay, I felt my exhaustion take effect and slipped into a peaceful slumber.

???: "..b-be..n" I heard gwen voice?
As I look around for her I found myself in a dark, misty area, with pretty much zero visibility.
BEN: "gwen!!.....where are you?"
Gwen: "...Im...talking to....y...you with a s-spell, where are....y-you ben"
BEN: "Im stuck in this maw place"
Gwen: "..Maw.?"
BEN: "yeah, I know It's kinda suck in here but I made some friends like six and amy, and is everything ok in your side"
Gwen: "don't worry about us were doing fine, and azmuth and paradox are working day and night to find you, and with this information we might have a better chance at.....i-it."
Suddenly my vision gone blurry and I feel to the ground holding my head in pain
BEN(holding his head): "uh,...what's going on gwen, my head"
Gwen: "..t-he li...nk..its...spell..ending.stay...stro..ng...don't..g-give...up"

I woke up with a start, opening my eyes rapidly while trying to
comprehend what the hell just happened.
BEN: "gwen...?" I got out before
remembering that I was seated on the ground against the makeshift ladder
As I did, I suddenly remembered what happened: I spoke to gwen
my dream and learned that if I survived long enough they might be able to find me and bring me back home, but what about six and amy?.
Whay if amy and six could tag along back with me to Bellwood.
BEN: "Goodness knows they would seriously love a world without hungry leeches, and apparently cannibalistic giants and evil witches trying to kill them all the time.." I muttered silently
*Snore *Sniffle*
Suddenly, I heard a noise come from next to me and I turned my head.
As I did, I finally remembered that Six was still sleeping next to me, with her hooded head resting on my shoulder while snoring so softly that I was surprised I heard it to begin with.
I couldn't make out her eyes under her long bangs and hood due to the angle I was looking at her from, and she still look as adorable as ever.
As I was looking at her, I heard a *yawn* from the warm lamp.
I turned to face the source of the sound, careful to not wake up Six, and saw amy walk up to us slowly, stopping directly in front of us.
Amy: "that was a nice nap *look up to me* so wanna keep going"
BEN: "your right amy but were are we going to"
Amy: "hmm" amy said looking around, "what about there" she said pointing upwards at the wooden ladder we were resting against.
Then I felt Six stir besides me, woken up by our conversation.
Six: "Whaddya need?"
Amy pointed again upwards repeatedly at the scaffolding above
us.
Six: "what did she say"
BEN: "she want us to keep going"
Six: "hmm" I heard six groggily say,
she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes
When she finally lifted her head, she
answered with a more awake voice.
Six: "Mhmm" She nodded
Getting up first, and then offered Six a hand at getting up.
BEN: "Feeling better?" I asked as she used my hand to pull herself up
Six: "Yep" she said with a small smile, her golden eyes barely peeking through her bangs
I also smiled, then turned to the ladder directly behind us.
BEN: "Let's go"
