With Trollex: 

The Techno Troll had stopped to read what was written in the black notebook, deciding that now was a good time to do so after leaving the other four. 

Where he decided to stop, he found himself in the old mine shaft that Branch had mentioned on the map. It was a large cave with three separate tunnels leading in different directions. There was an old lift that looked like it had to be hand-cranked in order to go up or down. The lift was old though, the rope barely held together. There were some old torches along the walls that had been burned out, and there were some mine tracks leading down the different tunnels.

The tunnel Trollex had come from was probably going to be a new mining tunnel, the tracks for the carts being left unfinished near the entrance. There were only two empty minecarts, both on the same track for one of the tunnels. 

Trollex was sitting on the cave floor, his back resting against one of the rocks while Beat was asleep on his satchel that he had resting beside him. He had gone pretty far since the time he left, and he could only hope that he found the fountain soon. He also hoped the others would decide to leave and go back up to the surface. Barb and Riff were already injured enough, and a group with five Trolls and a Beat Drop Button fish was slowing them down from finding the fountain faster. 

Trollex felt his anger bubble inside of him, wishing that the others had just let him go alone, because then none of this would have happened, and he would have found the fountain by now.

He then sighed, turning the page and continued reading. 

He had to admit, Riff had outdone himself with the research he had done. He had changed since the Krill incident, he and Barb both, and it was impressive to see the two getting along after an argument like the one they had in the tunnel of acidic fungi.

Trollex turned the page again, a sketch of the fountain catching his eye. 

Even sketched out, it looked mystical and had the magical capabilities of healing whomever needed it. 

It made Trollex wonder where it had even come from. 

The six strings were created to govern and embody the spirit of each genre of music. Before the strings, there was no music, no singing, no parties, nothing. It had been silent. It was the six different Trolls Leader ancestors that created the strings. 

The fountain, though, was more difficult to understand. From what Riff found out and wrote down in his notebook, apparently the fountain had been created by the very first Troll Leader ancestors, way before the strings were created. That meant that this supposed fountain was hundreds, maybe even thousands of years old. 

The entire fountain was made of stone, one of the first materials they could use to make the fountain with. All of the Tribe Leader ancestors took part in carving the stone and helping create the fountain in the image of all six tribes. 

The stone had been provided by the Rock Trolls, the color being a light grey as opposed to the usual dark colors that Rock Trolls are more accustomed to. 

The base of the fountain, also known as the reservoir/bison, was created by the Country Trolls. They had carved it as a reminder that everything needs a strong base to help support it. 

The two tiers were created by the Funk Trolls, to always remember that everyone has a different layer to themselves that they should never forget about. Something they shouldn’t keep hidden.
