The Island of Destiny

You take the middle-right passage and keep one hand on the cave wall, the other on the lantern. There is a distinct eerieness in the soundless cave where the only thing you can hear is your own footsteps. But that all changes when you turn a corner in the cave passage and hear a strong wind blowing through farther on. As you come closer to the sound, you see that the wind is coming from a hole in the cave wall. You stand in front of it and it provides a very chilling breeze. You have to move out of its direction after a moment.

You then come to a cavern with a domed rocky ceiling and two skeletons lying on the ground. They are arranged in positions, one standing straight at attention and one sprawled like an angel. You wonder why they were placed like that. You see that there are two paths, one past each skeletion. Which path should you take?
