Chapter 2: The sealed Princess
" If I take these trials and can't complete it what will happen." He asks giving the old rabbit a glance.
"...Simple, you'll die."

" Well, I guess I expected as much. But I'll take you on that bet. Without risk, there's no reward."
" Very well said, child. Then let's get things started." Headon smiles through his eye slit and taps his staff down on the ground creating a rumbling sound there.
A passageway appeared in one of the murals. He couldn't see inside as it was pitch black.
" Inside two trials await you. The trial of the mind And the trial of fortitude. You must first complete these two trials before completing the last trial here. Are you ready irregular?" Headon asked in a teasing manner as if egging him on to do it.
" I'll do it. Best get that reward ready." He said before walking into the passageway.
" Then I wish you luck Irregular, kekekeke, things are getting more and more interesting. The towers been a bit quiet recently. This irregular should make a bit of a buzz.
(In the trial area)
As Noah was walking he noticed it was still pitch black even after walking straight for 5 minutes. When he walked 30 minutes and still saw no sight of the first trial he started to sprint ahead finally after 2 whole hours of running there was finally a sigh of light.
When he got to the exit he found himself in a dimly lit room similar to the one he woke up in, but this one had a slight difference. This room didn't have any murals just a stone slab with squiggles on it.
But soon those incoherent squiggles started to change shape to form a coherent sentence.
It can't be seen, can't be felt, can't be heard, and can't be smelt. It lies behind stars and under hills, And empty holes it fills. It comes first and follows after, Ends life, and kills laughter. What is it?
You may have two guesses.
'Huh! A riddle, seriously. Well, it seems simple enough. What can't be seen felt or heard...wind no wind can be heard, and felt, maybe...maybe time, but time doest fill up empty holes, what about atoms, no that makes no senses either...wait a minute.'
Noah looked behind him and looked into the corridor he came out of.' If not that I have no clue. So it has to be..'
" Darkness. The answer is the dark." Noah waited..and waited... until finally there was a reaction. The stone slab started breaking apart and turning to dust revealing a brand new corridor. But now this one had torches so he could see.
This time he only needed to walk 5 minutes before finding the room for the second trial. As he walked in the very first thing he noticed were the thousands of glowing symbols on the walls and the floor.
He could feel each symbol represented something but he didn't know why. Looking around more he found a similar stone slab with words.
You have 7 hours to find the exit.
'That was it. No more explanation. He just needed to find the exit. There wasn't even a clue or hint said as to where the exit could be.'
Sigh, first let's just see what's at the end of this tunnel.
As he walked forward he could still see dimly lit symbols on the walls but also support collums that seem to have been destroyed.
While Noah was trying to find the exit of the test, the cogs of fate were showing themselves slowly.
(Secrete Sealed area in The tower)
It was dark and gloomy. Barley any visible light could be seen beside the 2 Shin-Soo torches on each side of the walls.
But there was also a stone-like bridge expanding from the entrance to the end of the hall. And besides, the bridge was a chasm so deep it caused the room to echo.
Besides the bridge and torches, there was also something else. The room was full of this red like substance.
Reminiscent of a spiders web, but thicker. It was attached to the walls and the ceiling. But the main purpose of these webs wasn't for show, but to seal something.
Something said to have gone crazy and something too dangerous to let loose.
That something was Eurasia Enne Zahard
Former active Princess of jahad and daughter of Eurasia Blossom and Po Bidau Gustang. And 7th strongest high ranker in the tower.
She was a beauty to behold. One that would make men blush from just the thought of her and women rethink their sexual preference.
Sadly she had been sealed for a few thousand years and what looked to be a few thousand more. That's how it was supposed to be. But things don't always go according to plan.
(Swish)
Out of nowhere a bright blue spherical light appeared in the dim room and made its way to the princess dodging and passing through any traps laid to stop intruders
Finally, after all that it finally got to its destination. In front of it, there was a woman sealed in the spider wax-like webbing. The webbing covered most of her body besides her head and nape.
" Pi, pipipi." The light immediately flew to Eurasia and rubbed its body to Eurasia cheek.
" I see your still safe Pi. Have you got any news for me?"
Pi the light to happy to see its master forgot it rushed here to give important news.
" Pi, PI, PI, Pi, pi. ( づ￣ ³￣ )づ"
Hearing what Pi had said Eurasia went silent for a moment. Her overgrown hair covered her eyes masking most of her emotions. That was until...
" Hee hehe Haha HAHAHA." She went straight from a soft chuckle to a full-blown hysterical laugh. If people saw her now they would have thought she went crazy again. But that wasn't why she was laughing.
" So you've finally decided to come. Took you long enough. Looks like it won't be long until that woman's child comes to."
" Pi, Piiii. ( ๑>ᴗ<๑ )" Pi called out in excitement.
" Yes, Pi it's Time to act." Eurasia confirmed before gathering something in her mouth and blowing it out. It looked like Pi but it didn't have the bluish colour Pi had. It was more reddish Purple.
" I'll leave the rest to you Pi. Now leave before your found out."
" Pi, pi." Pi saluted with its non-existent hands and grabbed the red ball of light before flying away."
Eurasia for the first time in years smiled. Sadly no one was there to see it.' We will meet again soon, my king.' That's the last thought that went through her mind before she went into a deep slumber.
