Chapter 20: Shrine of the Seal Part 3 Air

It was a square room, which only contained a small, wooden bridge, which formed a right angle in the top right-hand corner. This bridge had a windmill on the side of the horizontal half while the vertical half led to the wall of the room and so to a dead end. Besides the door, which was located eastern and through which the group had entered, there were two other doors. One southern and the other one western.

''So, what now?'' Alan asked after he had looked around.

''We take the bridge to get to the rooms.'' Issun answered.

''If you haven't realized it yet, the bridge leads to the wall and not to the rooms. So how shall we use it to get to them if it's not even leading to them?'' Alan asked rationally.

''We have to move the bridge.'' Issun replied casually.

''And how are we supposed to move it?'' Alan asked while crossing his arms in front of his chest and looking expectant at Issun.

''It's not that hard.'' Issun responded.

Alan looked unconvinced at him.

He sighed at this before he raised his voice to explain:

''The key to move the bridge is the windmill on the side of it. If it rotates, the bridge will move. So furball just has to use Galestorm on the windmill while we are on the bridge and it will move.''

''Wow, that sounds pretty easy.'' Manon said cheerfully.

Issun smiled at her and the group went on the bridge, where they stopped in front of the windmill.

Then time froze and Amaterasu drew a loop with the tip of her tail. When time moved on a strong wind blew and caused the windmill to rotate and the bridge to turn 90 degrees.

After that, the group went south, opened the door and entered the next room.

It was a square room, which contained a stone staircase, that was divided into three parts and was in the back of the room. Between the gaps were two holes, which had the size of a football and from which lightning emerged, on the wall. This happened for a few seconds. Then it stopped for a little while before lightning emerged again. Underneath the holes hung two long, light gray flags with the symbol of a white spiral on it. At the end of the staircase was a platform, which contained the door to the next room in the top left-hand corner and a yellow Platform Spider in the opposite direction.

After the group had looked around, they headed to the staircase and went to the end of the first part.

''How can we get to the other side?'' Manon asked once they reached it.

''Well ...'' Issun began but was interrupted by Alan, who had looked at the flags intensely.

''We can use the flags, which are hanging on the wall. Amaterasu just has to use this Galestorm technique, so that the flags build a bridge for us.''

''You're right, but we need to be fast. The effects of Galestorm will only last for a few seconds and besides that, we must time it right so that no lightning emerges from the holes when we cross the flags.'' Issun said a little taken aback, that Alan had figured it out what they had to do.

Alan grabbed Manon's hand, which caused her to blush slightly, smiled at her lovingly and waited with the rest of the group for the lightning to stop. Once that was the case, Ammy froze the time and drew a loop with the tip of her tail. When time moved on a strong gust blew, which heaved the flags so that the group could cross them.

They jumped from the first part of the staircase on the first flag, then the second one and eventually on the second part of the staircase just before lightning started to emerge from the holes again.
