(Welcome back! That's strange, because I definitely sent you a few. No worries, I thought you'd pop in eventually to explain what was happening. No harm done. Sakura, Stan is also an adventurer, while Mathew is a Warrior. Sorry for the wait all, I would have replied sooner, but the next part required a visual!)<br/><br/>The King bounced happily at the question, "I can! I can do lots of things in Trials that normal people can't do, but that's only because of the Trials I've completed, some have given me powers. Don't expect anymore help though!"<br/><br/>Down the tunnel, the trial opened up into the first room of the Trial. It was an enormous room, domed slightly from the edges to the top high overhead. It was roughly square, but hard to tell through the torrents of water that fell from the ceiling. It seemed random, until someone from the group stepped further into the room and the waterfalls all stopped. A second of lag before it all cascaded into what seemed to be a simple pit of water several dozen meters below the edge of the piece of stone they were currently standing upon. several meters away.<br/><br/>About three meters away, and suspended by nothing at all, was a large square stone slab. Throughout the room there was numerous stone pads exactly like it, spread out from each other and just floating in midair, all at about the same level.<br/><br/>Water poured down over the walls and light seemed to shimmer through it at various points, giving the entire room a shimmering, wavering look, even the solid stone slabs looking as if they were shivering and swimming before the groups eyes.<br/><br/><div class="inline-attachment">

To either of the spell blades, it would read very plainly as "Do not fear what lies below by taking a step back. That will only send you to their clutches all the faster."<br/><br/>Mathew smiled weakly at the newcomer, a surprised as anyone at the mini-king and Lulu's arrival. "Um...nice to meet you..." She seemed slightly uncomfortable, but that was to be expected when a very strange looking person from a race you've never seen before suddenly drops through a portal and you're told to work with them.
