Flint was running out of time. The first trial was about to end yet his attention was focused on Ella. He was about to take another step to stop Ella from jumping off the cliff when Cassie's beautiful face suddenly flashed in the back of his mind.
He recalled that Cassie was fighting the evil witch right now. It was dangerous for her because the witch was powerful.
"That's right! I'm here because I need to acquire power. Ella is not here. This is just part of the trial." When realization came to him, Flint didn't waste his time. He turned around, ignoring Ella's illusion. This was not real.
Able to distinguish reality from illusion, Flint managed to move forward, heading to the entrance door of the second trial. The magical flying orb was already waiting for him at the entrance.
"I thought you were going to be trapped here forever," the flying orb talked to him upon reaching the door.
