After turning left and following the path for a little while we ca to a dead end with a single room. Within this room was a chest. Just how I never imagined I would enter a dungeon, I never thought I would ever have a day where I would see a real live treasure chest. Sadly it was not a very good looking treasure chest. It looked weathered and old but nonetheless, it was still a bonafide treasure chest.
Of course, I was not stupid enough to rush into the room. Although there was one person who did. "Sam, get back here!" Able yelled out but it was already too late, he already ran into the room causing the rest of us to quickly follow. As soon as the four of us entered the room the door slamd shut and the chest in the room opened on its own. You could hear the sounds of ancient gears grinding together as a wooden board ca out of the treasure chest. It then folded out into a large square, that reached the ceiling. When I looked at the board I felt a headache co on since I recognized what the board was instantly.
"What is this!? A bunch of squiggly lines?" Marsil looked at the board. She seed very confused when looking at the ss of squiggly lines drawn on the board.
"It's a puzzle." I answered. Yes, it was a puzzle a lot of people would spot it right away. A slide puzzle. The only problem was that I could not understand what the picture was supposed to be of.
"So this is a puzzle room. This dungeon really hates us." Able let out a sigh.
"Puzzle room?" I asked curiously.
"A puzzle room will lock people in and they can only leave when they solve the puzzle. The problem is, is that every ti you make a wrong move you will end up needing to fight a group of monsters. The more mistakes, the stronger the monsters... " Able said as his eyes fell on and asked: "Rei you realized it was a puzzle right away, do you understand how to do this puzzle?"
Nodding my head I answered: "I understand it but whether or not I can do it right from the start is another story. I will need you all to yell out when monsters spawn."
"Alright we will leave it to you but before we start we have to deal with sothing. Sam!" Able angrily yelled out causing Sam to shrink his neck. "If I ever catch you running off on your own again, even after I tell you to stop, you will never be able to co with us on a guild request again do you understand?"
"Y-yes I-I'm sorry..." Guilt was written all over Sam's face. I felt bad for him because he was getting scolded but this ti he really ssed up.
"Alright good. Rei, it is all up to you." Able said with a smile.
I nodded my head and walked over to the large board and realized sothing crucial. I couldn't reach the top! Feeling a little bit embarrassed I turned to Able and said: "Able can you let sit on your shoulders."
Able smiled and nodded before walking over to . He leaned in and kissed my forehead before spinning around and grabbing by the waist. Before I could grasp what was going on he had already placed on his shoulders. I had never expected him to pick right up off the ground like that! It was tis like these that I was glad I was small and petite!
In front of was over one hundred blocks. With one space missing. Just looking at it was already giving a headache. I let out a sigh as I said: "Be prepared to fight so hectic battles. This will take a while."
"It's fine, just do your best." Able said with a smile. Like always, he was always on my side.
I turned my focus back to the puzzle in front of and looked at all the squiggly lines trying to make heads or tails of what I was looking at. There was only one spot I could move into so I had two options at the start to work with. I looked at them and quickly made my choice. The one at the top was more straight on its left side aning it was not a corner piece. With this thought in mind, I nervously reached up and pushed the tile on the left upwards. It was slightly curved and when I did this, I heard a clicking sound as the tile clicked into place. It also matched the tile perfectly next to it. Although it seed to be right I still looked around to check to see if any monsters spawned. Only when I saw an empty room did I finally let out a sigh of relief.
But the next problem was the next piece was not sothing that would fit together. This was the hard part about slide puzzles. Sotis the piece you want is on the other side of the puzzle and you have to slowly move it towards the other side. But in order to get to such a piece in this room would result in monsters spawning. I looked at the puzzle carefully and discovered that the next piece looked to be three tiles to the right and two tiles down easy to get to but that was five monster spawns. I turned my head and looked down at Marsil and Sam who were looking back at , I just hoped the monsters that spawned would not be too difficult to defeat.
Letting out a sigh I said: "Get ready for battle."
