Her own eyes aglow, Daphne took the other side of the pillar in question and ran her experienced fingers over its surface with a sense of urgency. Silently, she swooped in and looked over his shoulder to scrutinize the location under the amulet's glow. Wetting her lips, she pressed down on his hand until the amulet was touching the surface of the stone. "Easy now..." she whispered, more to herself than to the kid.
The low rumble of massive stones grinding against each other cause the ground to shake below their feet. In the next moment, the very pillar they had been inspecting began to sink beneath the ground and gradually rotate so that it created a downwards slope into a dark tunnel. Hand held out in front of the kid and wand drawn, Daphne pushed them both back a few steps until the tremors had ceased and they were not presented with a kind of stone slide leading deep into the ground beneath the shrine.
"Well done," she mused, ruffling his hair and taking the lead. "See you down there," she winked, giving the kid a wink and a salute before balancing her boots on the stone pillar, now smooth after its transformation, and slide down it into the darkness.
