The team entered the new corridor, whose light columns had appeared after solving the platform puzzle, but it was unlike anything they had encountered before. The floor was strangely stepped, the walls were decorated with intricate patterns, and every step could trigger a mechanical trap.
> Neros: Hold on tight… The island is testing our intelligence and coordination right now.
> Ranor (excitedly): I can see parts of the floor moving… Every step here has a lot of weight!
> Silver (concentrating): Every panel here could be a trap… Watch out for the tiny movements beneath your feet.
> Lantos: The symbols on the walls indicate a specific order of steps… Any mistake could trigger the collapse mechanism.
The team began moving with extreme caution: Neros leading the team with measured movements, Silver watching the floor with a keen eye, Lantos constantly analyzing the symbols, Ranor testing every light step, and Petrus protecting the rear.
> Ranor (whispering): It feels like the corridor itself is breathing… Every movement reacts to it.
Nerus: Focus, don't be afraid... This isn't just a game.
With each step, the ground began to shift gradually, and rotating discs appeared under the snow, moving in sync with the team's steps.
> Silver: This is more like a live trap... One wrong move could send one of us sliding down!
Petrus (with a defiant smile): Let's see... Nothing will stop us!
The team began calculating each step:
Nerus pressed down on the first boards precisely.
Ranor pointed to the next boards after analyzing the movement pattern.
Silver moved continuously to secure the path.
Lantus monitored the speed of the discs and their interaction with the pressure.
Petrus ensured that any misstep could be quickly corrected.
> Lantus: Well done, the team is moving in unison... It seems we've passed the biggest trap.
Nerus: Good... Remember, what's next will be more difficult.
Suddenly, a hidden stone portal opened before them, leading to a larger hall filled with ancient symbols and signs pointing directly to the Black Crown.
> Ranor (excitedly): I think this is it… The Black Crown is very close!
Silver: Don't get too excited… The road is not easy, and the tests ahead will be harder.
Nerus: Every step brings us closer to it… But we must remain united and focused.
Petrus: Good… Every challenge we overcome brings us closer to our goal.
Lantos: Our intelligence, courage, and coordination will determine our success or failure.
The team cautiously advanced toward the hall, each sensing that the island was beginning to reveal its true power, and that each step led them closer to the Black Crown and its mysterious secrets.
