Aria and Kael followed the Oracle's instructions to the Cavern of Elements, where the Crown of Light was hidden. To claim it, Aria would need to pass four elemental trials: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Each trial would test her strength, resolve, and ability to wield her magic.
The first trial, Earth, brought them deep into a labyrinth of shifting stone walls. Giant golems, forged of rock and moss, emerged to block their path. Aria closed her eyes, focusing her magic to steady the ground beneath her feet. With determination, she dismantled the golems and stabilized the cavern, passing the trial.
The second trial, Air, required Aria to navigate a series of floating platforms over a bottomless chasm. Gusts of wind threatened to throw her into the abyss. Aria called upon the air around her, bending it to her will, and soared across the gap with Kael following closely.
The third trial, Fire, was the most grueling yet. A river of lava stood in their way, guarded by a fiery serpent. Summoning courage, Aria used her growing power to tame the flames, calming the serpent and clearing the path.
Though exhausted, Aria stood taller. Three trials down, one remained. With the Crown of Light closer than ever, she prepared to face the final challenge.
