“Is that supposed to help? How do I save my mate with this? This isn’t guidance, this is nothing!” In a pressing situation like this, when I am desperately begging for guidance to save my mate, this is what I get? Just a name, no meaning, no direction, no clue? How am I supposed to use this? How can something so empty, so frustratingly vague, possibly lead me to him?

"Sorry dude, I don't do it fast, I choose to be faster." "Huh?" With my furrowed brows, I literally turned to him with a question mark above my head. Why does it seem like there is something wrong with the sentence he just spouted? He closed the door after giving me a smirk. And because of that, the wrinkles on my forehead deepened. I even tilted my head because I really didn't understand what he meant. After a few minutes..

His mind was in turmoil. "I wished I would just get knocked out" he was taking himself as he used unnecessary force to open the door. Grace heard him talking but what he said was incoherent to her. "Are you talking to me sir?" Marcus looked at her "would you please get the hell out of my way miss" "I thought...." "I wouldn't repeat myself Grace" he knew better than to push her out of the way Grace moved hurriedly from his way, confusion written all over her face.

Every single one carries the same mysterious message. My heart quickens as I run to the first window, hoping for a clue. Nothing. A bare, empty view greets me. The second window seems too obvious, yet again—nothing. I dart from one window to the next, chasing shadows and hints, but every attempt leads only to frustration. Finally, I sink gently back to the floor, surrounded by the scattered notes. The pile seems almost endless, each message whispering the same tantalizing, teasing instruction. My mind races, wondering what messages I have missed.

I didn’t have to say anything at all, although the comedic relief was much needed to lift our spirits. “That’s it?!” he said shocked. “That’s all you have to do and it’s all better? No smoke, no flashes of light? No chanting in some weird kind of language that doesn’t even have a translation dictionary for it? What a rip off!” We both laughed at him as he got up and tested out his no longer broken leg. “Eh, if it works, it works” he said with a shrug and we all proceeded again towards the hole in the cave’s floor.

The coach’s instructions echoed in my mind: puzzle before progress. I knelt beside it. A small grid of buttons lit up, and above them, numbers shifted constantly. I frowned. “Okay… we need a sequence, but it keeps changing.” Fred studied it. “We need to communicate and watch carefully. Each press affects the next number.” We started experimenting, calling out numbers, adjusting based on trial and error. The tension built with every wrong press, the box let out a loud beep, warning us of failure. My hands shook as I pressed a button, and it clicked correctly. Slowly, painstakingly, we solved the sequence.

I was handed the mic and the aerial vision of the way to the finish line as Trent put on the blindfold. "Ten steps straight ahead and then turn left." I instructed him while watching him through the screen and he did as I said. "Five steps forward and turn right. Watch out for the ball in front of you. Step to the left. That's right. Oops, there's a ball on your right. Just make a big step over it. When you turn to your left, take a step to the right so you won't walk through the grass." My voice remained calm and I was satisfied that Trent fully trusts my instructions and did not hesitate.

It’s instruction. And whatever comes next— Won’t make the same mistakes twice.

It was a blurry night as the heat was unbearable for Alice, not that the room is hot but she was feeling hot. The conversation she had earlier with her grandmother had taken her off the edge. One thing Alice know off and she is sure of is that she has no interest in marrying any of the princes.

One decision at a time. One thread at a time. The direction clear.
