[color=ec008c]"Yes."[/color] Raiya concurred, [color=ec008c]"Sensibly, we know that Academia were the ones to place the Paragon in here, and this only happened within the last century. If they had wanted to, they could have used magic to conceal the wear on the ground. But on top of the trodden ground, there is also the mana crystal, which obviously has more power than the others."[/color] Raiya stretched her hands up behind her head, and interlocked her fingers as she thought.

[color=ec008c]"With those things together, we can pretty much so guarantee that the middle passage is a trap, it's much too sloppy to not be on purpose. But what about the one to the right? It's mana crystal has more power than the others. But..." [/color] Raiya sighed, [color=ec008c]"It's pretty likely the one to the right is a trap too. It's easy enough to transfer mana between crystals. To leave any mana in the crystals of any of the passageways would be counter intuitive. Unless you fueled all the crystals with the same amount. So, the one to the right of the middle one has to be a trap as well."[/color]

Raiya dropped her arms back down to her side and reached for her flask, but then remembered it was empty, and let out an even larger sigh than her last.

[color=ec008c]"Let's see... So that just leaves the last passage all the way to the right, and the first two on the left."[/color] Raiya explained.
