A sliver of thought was more pronounced than the rest: “We should leave. This is growing pointless.”
<Vanth’s agreement / disagreement>
17 and Vanth stood together, drawing the eyes of the silent room. <Vanth informs the room they're headed to train and then learn of the temple’s secrets. Maybe Aella brings up the library as a good place to look. Ask Ian and/or Haven if they will join their company.>
<Where or not they agree, we continue to the training rooms>
17 began toying with his powers on the way there, seeing what he was able to do to sound. He could feel the expanding and compacting of space against his skin as the sounds of their footsteps reflected off the walls. He pushed back at them mentally, causing a louder second echo. He smiled mouthlessly beneath the bandana.
<anything else happen on the way there? People asking about the headphones?>
Upon arrival, all four stepped into the room. It shook violently, then the large room became even larger and created their first trial: the Trial of Chronus. The room exploded with sound as the group of four suddenly began slowly spinning. The brass floor extended to the walls in a series of spinning gears and mechanisms. A fan on one end whirred violently, while the other end sounded like sparks were flying across a corridor. The group of four froze and took in their surroundings when a voice started speaking above the volume of the grinding and ticking.
“I am Chronus, the first of three Guardians for you to encounter. These prisons were designed with you in mind, so please, waste no time.”
A clock at the top of the room began slowly but distinctly ticking.
“You have one hour.”
