Descent

Descent is a chicken game commonly played by Elleniotos youth. Each player, in turn, delves into a grotto with a candle and a bell; when the player reaches the deepest they're willing to go, they ring the bell, and start ascending. The winner is the one who reached the deepest.   The game has garnered notoriety in the Free Islands due to a large number of deadly drowning incidents, and due to its constant reemergence in unrelated communities.
Something whispered from the grotto. It gave me the idea to play this game, and it told me about the bell and candle.
It had to be made of bronze, and the wax had to be dark blue. It told me to go in first, and to bring three friends.  
When Lucia delved in, it asked me if
I want to save her,
and I said yes.
 
When Gineus delved in, it asked me
If I want to save him,
and I said yes.
 
When Agia delved, it didn't ask me
It just took her.
She's still there. Now
she whispers of
 
a bronze bell   and a   dark   blue   candle
