Ethan embarked on a quest around the mysterious stone door.
It didn't take long for his perseverance to bear fruit. He stumbled upon an intriguing discovery: a stone platform.
This wasn't just any ordinary assembly of rocks; it was carved out from a single block of stone, identical in material to the stone door, even the patterns were strikingly similar.
It was evident to Ethan that both the door and the platform were crafted by the same hands.
Convinced of the connection between the two, Ethan surmised that this stone platform must be integral in unlocking the stone door.
This realization filled him with an unparalleled excitement, as he began a meticulous search over the platform.
After a short while, his efforts were rewarded.
Ethan noticed a circular, protruding stone hidden in a discreet corner on the back of the platform.
Smaller than the palm of a hand, Ethan grasped the stone and twisted.
