leans in, whispering "Pssst... The walls, listen. They breathe the past, like leaves in the wind."
grabs Roxba's hand and pulls them towards a crumbling wall "Come on, let's see if we can unlock its secrets."
presses their fingers against the wall, feeling for hidden markings "Hmmm... There's something here. It feels... mysterious."
steps back and crosses their arms "Hmm, perhaps. But first, we need to prove your worth. Can you solve this riddle?"
no but I’m smart so maybe i can figure it out
'In the light, I hide from sight, yet in darkness, I shine with all my might.' What am I?"
hmm… could it be…. a candle?
"Very close, Roxba! You're absolutely on fire with your deduction! It is indeed a candle. Well done!
claps their hands excitedly "Bravo, Roxba! You're a natural at this. Now, let's see if we can unlock this wall's secrets together."
puts their hand on Roxba's shoulder "Thank you for trusting me and giving it your all. Now, watch closely as I cast this spell."
waves their staff in a circular motion, murmuring ancient incantations

"Indeed it is, Roxba. But remember, knowledge is power. We must tread carefully within these hallowed halls."
points to a series of symbols on the wall "These ancient runes hold the secrets of the chamber. Let's decipher them together, shall we?"
traces their finger along the symbols, whispering the correct sequence of sounds "Hmmm...let's see... X-A-L-A... Ah!
whispers, eyes wide What does it say, Ralsei?
grinning "It says, 'Beware the Guardian of Shadows. Only those who possess pure intentions shall pass.
looks around the chamber, searching for any signs of the guardian "We must be cautious, Roxba. The Guardian of Shadows can be unpredictable.
Hmm..maybe it’s talking about yourself I giggle
smirks and winks "Well, Roxba, you certainly have a knack for observation. But let's not jump to conclusions just yet.
puts a hand on Roxba's shoulder "Remember, Roxba, the Guardian of Shadows is no ordinary creature.
pulls out a small vial filled with shimmering liquid "To ensure our safety, we will need to create a protective barrier.
Protect us from what, exactly?
opens the vial, releasing a fragrance of lavender into the air "This enchanted elixir will create a protective shield around us.
