The tension in the air was almost delicious as Creed stood in the glowing corridor of the Pyramid of Dominion, eyes locked onto the golden announcement screen that shimmered before him.
The letters still floated ominously, pulsating slightly, like they were alive and breathing.

His expression turned sharp, focused, the wheels in his mind spinning faster than a caffeine-addicted hamster on a treadmill.
He took a deep breath and turned to face the girls, his tone calm but firm.
"Alright, I need you two to listen carefully. This entire pyramid is more than just a trial—it's a strategic battleground."
