80
00:00:01.930 seconds
More mist blows around them.
81
00:00:02.431 seconds
She steps forwards, hand raised, middle and index fingers glowing with magic.

92
00:00:01.780 seconds
Elsewhere, Darra searches for Kyra.
93
00:00:04.750 seconds
The mist seems to thin a little. He stops near a stand of bamboo and takes out the sphere.
94
00:00:03.540 seconds
The sphere is glowing a bright purple, and he looks around.
95
00:00:03.300 seconds

101
00:00:01.000 seconds

00:00:02.981 seconds
The eyes glow and the rhombus markings on the hood blaze with light.
103
00:00:05.050 seconds
In the mist, Kyra stops. She has a vision of Darra being slammed back into a tree by tendrils of light.

The lounge room is small, but well lit by windows. The walls are hung with paintings.
108
00:00:04.940 seconds
Some of the tension goes out of Tayla's posture and she sits next to Imogen.
109
00:00:01.640 seconds
Imogen leaves through the front door.
110
00:00:01.850 seconds

00:00:02.000 seconds
She turns towards it, and cautiously steps forward.
115
00:00:02.270 seconds
Closer now, she stares up at the statue looming over her.
116
00:00:02.530 seconds
The eyes and mouth of the statue glow with golden light.
117
00:00:02.830 seconds
Like molten gold, something forms between the snake's fangs.
118
00:00:03.590 seconds
The key, a diamond shaped golden tile, floats towards Kyra.
119
00:00:02.680 seconds

120
00:00:02.110 seconds

126
00:00:02.460 seconds
Hands on hips, Maxwell looks stern.
127
00:00:01.550 seconds

Arms crossed, Kyra walks around, thinking.
