Rhone is trying to use his magic, but the magic of the snake is stronger. As he charges towards the center of the snake, he is taken aback by the way the serpent’s torso begins to move and change. As some individuals are swallowed and transported elsewhere, Rhone’s focus is just on what lies in front of him. He watches as the archway takes shape, the berries beating like a beating heart. Slowly, he steps closer until he has passed through the archway.
In front of him lies the relic. He can almost taste it. It’s golden and beautiful and Rhone cannot help but wonder what will he have to encounter next. He sees the moat surrounding the relic and he spends several minutes studying it. It looks solid in some places, but weak in others. The logic in him says that he probably can cross, but there is a part of him that knows crossing the moat is too easy.
Eyes look to his right where a large bear is waiting. It looks angry and heavy and all the things he cannot be. He wonders briefly if the moat can hold the weight of the bear. If it cannot, then he knows he cannot cross. But should he wait and see? Or should he engage the bear? Perhaps the bear is his next task. But in the end, he knows to wait and see and to cross the moat are too easy. And so, he steps towards the bear to engage. He has to bring all of his courage. He has to try.
Rhone chooses option 2
