When Elyora entered the ancient temple, she found herself in a large, circular hall, the walls of which were decorated with complex runes glowing with golden light. Flames spread throughout the room, illuminating the majestic columns of black stone that supported the vaulted ceiling. The warmth was palpable, but not too scalding. Noticing a pedestal with an ancient artifact in the center of the hall, Elyora realized that there were challenges ahead of her.Eliora noticed that a passage opened in one corner of the hall, obscured by thick smoke. She resolutely headed there and found herself in a maze lined with red-hot stones and surrounded by walls of a flaming lava flow. The maze was confusing and full of traps, and although the path seemed obvious, every step was fraught with danger.

  Mysterious symbols and arrows pointing in different directions were engraved on the walls of the maze. Some of them were traps: when pressing on certain plates, jets of fire burst out of the walls. Eliora, remembering her experience and the teachings that the sage had taught her, used the amulet to avoid hot streams and find a safe path. She noticed that the symbols on the walls were glowing in a certain order, which allowed her to identify the correct paths.
