The trio made their way through the winding corridor and came up to the first of three trials when Arlhenwe held up her hand. "Watch your step, Serna. Walk where I walk as in walk exactly where I walk and do not step on any other stones."
"No problem," Serna replied as she prepared to walk literally in Arlhenwe's footsteps, "Lead the way and I will follow."
Even Caliaphy followed in the loremaster's footsteps after the shield maiden without saying one word after noticing a series of holes on the walls on both sides of the room. Once across, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Phew! That went rather well, do you think, Serna?"
"We're still alive and we're still in one piece," Serna checked herself to make sure her words were true, "So yeah, I think it went well."
Arlhenwe nodded, "Agreed. You did well, Serna but our journey is far from over. Come along."
"Okay," The Shield Maiden followed along eager to complete their mission and get the heck out of there.
The next challenge portrayed a series of statues on movable pedestals in a square containing nine smaller squares. The loremaster could see a stone at the far end of the chamber and then looked back at the girl, "Serna, you said you were good at solving puzzles? This is a puzzle in which one must light up all the stones of each statue simultaneously in order for the barrier on the opposite side to open, are you up for the challenge?"
