The guardian raised a hand, and the chamber transformed around them. The walls shimmered, revealing three distinct paths, each leading into darkness. "Each trial will test your strength, wisdom, and unity. Choose wisely, for the path you take will reflect the bonds you share."
Evelyn exchanged glances with her companions, sensing the weight of their decision. "We should face them together," she declared. "No matter which path we choose, we'll support one another."
Kael nodded, determination etched on his face. "I agree. We've come this far as a team, and we'll continue to stand together."
Mira stepped forward, her eyes bright with resolve. "Let's choose the path that speaks to our greatest fear. If we can confront that together, we'll grow even stronger."
