That evening, in great secrecy, Roy, Dimai, Eros, Lilian and Gerd headed towards the supposed location of this secret library.
Lilian:What do you think is in there?
Dimai:I hope great secrets of fencing and sword fighting.
Roy:A way to help me with my power.
Gerd:I hope for an interesting book on botany and biology.
Eros: Maybe ancient spells or forgotten enchantments that could enhance our magical abilities.
As they approached the location of the secret library, the air was thick with anticipation. The moonlight guided their way, casting eerie shadows on the cobblestone hallway. They finally found themselves standing before an inconspicuous door, barely noticeable among the other rooms.
Roy (whispering): Are we sure this is the place?
Lilian (nodding): According to the rumors, this is it. Let's see what mysteries it holds.
The group approached cautiously, but part of the floor seemed to sag beneath Gerd's foot.
Gerd:(alarmed) Stop!! I heard a clock!
The group froze in their tracks, their breaths held in anticipation. The faint sound of a ticking clock echoed through the quiet night, cutting through the hushed whispers of the city.
Dimai (whispering): A clock? Why would there be a clock here?
Suddenly, a spring-loaded trap was triggered, throwing the group out of the building and outside the school.
The group found themselves sprawled on the ground, dazed from the unexpected force of the trap. Dust and debris settled around them as they slowly got back on their feet, assessing the situation.
Eros (gritting his teeth): Well, that didn't go as planned.
Dimai (rubbing his sore backside): Note to self: always be cautious of suspicious floors.
Lilian (checking everyone): Is everyone alright?
Gerd (brushing off dust): I think so, just a bit shaken...Anyway, we have to go back to our rooms immediately, I want to remind you that there is a curfew!
Roy (nodding): Gerd's right. We need to get back before anyone notices we're missing. But this doesn't mean we give up on finding the hidden library. We'll just have to be more careful next time.
Eros:That's right, next time we won't get fooled!
Gerd:(disagreement) In my opinion we should leave it alone, guys, there could even be deadly traps!
Dimai:Not at all, we will enter that library, even if it means risking expulsion.
The group exchanged determined glances, their curiosity and adventurous spirit outweighing the risks. They knew the potential dangers but were driven by the thirst for knowledge and the thrill of uncovering ancient secrets.
Roy (firmly): Dimai's right. We can't let fear hold us back. Besides, if there are traps, it means there's something valuable inside that someone wants to protect. It could be the key to understanding my powers or something equally important.
Lilian (resolute): Roy's correct. We'll just have to be more cautious and watch out for traps. We've faced challenges together before, and we can handle this.
Eros (grinning): Count me in! I'm not one to back down from an adventure. Plus, we make a great team.
Gerd (reluctantly): That's fine but can we go back to the rooms please? I don't want to get into trouble!
