Then a booming voice filled the entire trial world.
"Welcome to the Trial of Fire and Chains. Here, pain will bind your truth."
The monstrous figure's explanation was vague, but kranos could imagine it would be anything but easy!
Just then the bridge shifted beneath their feet and a loud metal shriek noise resounded in the vast space.
Then flames erupted from the sides of the bridge, and spikes of glowing crimson steel burst from the path ahead, forcing them to leap backward.
Kranos instinctively pulled Kathryn and Kevin aside just as one of the spikes almost impaled them.
The voice returned:
"Ahead of you are three paths, one of pain, one of bondage, one of truth. Each of you must walk alone and chose the right path. There shall be no helping."
At once, the bridge split into three. Kranos, Kathryn, and Kevin stood on separate iron lanes, all leading deeper into the crucible of fire.
