The team advanced into the Great Hall, each step on the icy floor accompanied by a faint glow from the central platform. The light beams that had appeared in the previous chapter formed a mysterious path, but it wasn't as safe as it first seemed.
> Nerus: Hold on tight... Each beam here could be part of a clever mechanical trap.
> Ranor (surprised and slightly frightened): The beams are moving in a strange way... It's like a living light show!
> Silver: Concentration is everything now... A misstep could trigger something we didn't expect.
> Lantos: The symbols on the walls indicate a specific sequence of light... We must read the message carefully before moving.
> Petros (excited): This is amazing... Every step here tests our courage! We won't back down.
The team began studying the light path:
> Nerus: I'll move first and make sure it's safe... Ranor, watch the beams and their movements.
Ranor: Yes! I see a pattern... Each beam pulses before disappearing.
Silver: Don't rush... any haste could be fatal.
Lantus: Calculate every step before executing... Concentration is more important than speed.
The team began moving with extreme caution: Nerus steps in first, Ranor watches the light and warns of any errant beam, Silver monitors the perimeter, Lantos analyzes every step, and Petros ensures no one falls into the trap.
> Ranor (whispering): Every step feels like we're moving over a living net... This is a strange feeling!
Nerus: Focus... We are stronger together than any trap we could face.
Suddenly, the light beams sent a short shockwave through the floor in front of Petros, and he nearly slipped.
> Petros (quickly regaining his balance): That was too close! I won't let anything stop us.
Silver: Keep going... This is just the beginning of the greatest test.
After minutes of intense tension and concentration, the team safely passed the light trap. The beams began to converge to form a new path leading directly toward a larger platform deep within the hall, where the Black Crown appeared to be very close.
> Nerus (with a faint smile): Good… Every successful step brings us closer to our goal.
Ranor (excitedly): I feel we're nearing the heart of the island… The Black Crown is very close!
Lantos: There are still dangers, and what's coming will be more difficult… Everything requires wisdom and focus.
Silver: Prepare… The path is more challenging now, and every move is calculated.
Petrus: Good… We won't back down, no matter the risks.
The team advanced cautiously toward the larger platform, their eyes sparkling with both excitement and fear, aware that every step now could reveal the Black Crown or confront them with a new test more difficult than anything they'd faced before.
