The team entered the Great Hall, a vast space carved into the ice. Pillars extended to the sloping ceiling, and light filtered through cracks in the ice, creating strange halos on the floor and walls. In the center of the hall stood a massive, carefully carved platform, engraved with a crown-like inscription, shining with a mysterious glow that caught everyone's attention.
> Neros (firmly): Stop, everyone... This place is different. Everything here feels real and immediate.
> Ranor (astonished): This is amazing! I've never seen anything like this before... I can feel the power here.
> Silver (concentrating): This platform isn't just a decoration... The Black Crown is nearby, and any wrong move could be fatal.
> Lantos: The symbols on the pillars and walls indicate a specific sequence of movements... We must decipher this sequence before approaching.
The team approached the platform cautiously, each one carefully observing the symbols.
> Neros: Every step is calculated... No one touches anything until I calculate the sequence.
Ranor: I see circles connected by lines, perhaps representing the order in which the panels are pressed...
Silver: Focus, any hesitation could set us back.
Petrus: Good... Every step now is a test of our courage and intelligence.
The team began moving the panels in sequence: Nerus leading the movement, Ranor monitoring the changes, Silver protecting the path, Lantus analyzing each step, and Petrus ensuring everyone's safety.
> Lantus: Well done, the platform is reacting... It seems the path to the Black Crown is starting to become clear!
Nerus: Great... but don't celebrate just yet, there's more to come.
Suddenly, the platform emitted a series of light beams that formed a mysterious path down the hall, as if the island itself was guiding the team toward the location of the crown.
> Ranor (excited): Look! These are direct signals... We're on the right path!
Silver: There are still risks, and every step along this path must be calculated.
Petrus: Good... Every challenge we overcome brings us closer to the goal.
Lantos: Our focus and coordination now will determine success.
The team approached the Light Path, each one feeling the power of the place, as if the mysterious power of the Black Crown surrounded them, testing their courage, patience, and sanity.
> Nerus: Remember, we are one team… The Black Crown will only grant power to those who truly deserve it.
Ranor: I feel we have grown stronger already… Each step teaches us patience and planning.
Silver: What's next will be harder… Prepare for anything.
Petrus: Good… We won't back down, no matter the risks.
The team advanced cautiously toward the Light Path, their eyes sparkling with excitement, aware that each step now brought them closer to the Black Crown, and that the Great Hall was the true beginning of the Great Island Trials.
