Galam's Chronicles

Chapter 76

The team members exchanged determined glances, their resolve strengthened by the challenge ahead.

Roy (grinning): Ready as we'll ever be.

With their orbs in hand and determination in their hearts, the Galam Dream Team set off on their 3-kilometer journey. Each step brought them closer to the hill, but also closer to the obstacles they would face.

Lilian (encouragingly): Stick together, everyone. We've got this.

Eros (focused): Watch your steps, and be mindful of the orbs.

The team moved forward cautiously, their eyes scanning the path for potential dangers. Along the way, they encountered obstacles designed to test their agility, magical prowess, and teamwork. They leaped over fallen tree trunks, used their magic to create bridges over small streams, and communicated with precision to ensure the fragile orbs remained unharmed.

Dimai (concentrating): Slow and steady, team. We can't afford to lose focus.

Dimai puts his foot on the ground and a mine explodes.

The deafening explosion rocked the forest, sending shockwaves through the air. Dust and debris scattered around the team as they instinctively shielded themselves from the blast. The force of the explosion knocked them off balance, and for a moment, chaos ensued.

Roy (shouting): Is everyone okay?

Eros (coughing): I think so. What was that?

Dimai (shaken): I... I didn't see the mine. I'm so sorry, everyone.

Lilian (checking on the orbs): My orbs are still intact. That's what matters. We need to be more cautious.

Roy:Yes, mine too. Don't worry Dimai, they are hidden in the foliage, watch where you step.

The team members regrouped, their focus sharpened by the unexpected explosion. They moved forward cautiously, their senses heightened, and their steps more deliberate. Dimai took the incident to heart, his awareness heightened as he scanned the forest floor for any signs of hidden traps.

Erik tripped on a wire that activated a large axe.

The sound of a mechanism clicking echoed through the forest, and suddenly, a massive axe swung down from the trees, narrowly missing Erik. The team's reflexes kicked in, and they quickly dispersed, avoiding the deadly blade.

Eros (wide-eyed): That was too close! We need to be careful of traps triggered by pressure plates or wires.

Lilian (analyzing the situation): Erik, are you alright?

Erik:(In shock) I saw my head cut off!!!

With hearts pounding and adrenaline coursing through their veins, the team gathered around Erik to ensure his safety. They breathed a collective sigh of relief that the axe had missed him by a hair's breadth.

Roy (concerned): Erik, that was too close for comfort. You're okay, right?

Erik (stuttering): I... I'm fine. Just a bit shaken up, but I'm fine.

Lilian stepped on something and felt like another piece of machinery.

Lilian's eyes widened in realization as she carefully examined the ground beneath her foot.

Roy: Watch Out!!

Roy saved Lilian from a large pike.

Roy: You're all right?

Lilian (breathing heavily): Th-thanks, Roy. That was too close. I'm okay, just a bit startled.

Dimai:We are surrounded by deadly traps, but those three have gone crazy!!
