In the blink of an eye, Willow floated a great distance ahead.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Alright, let's see what you're up to. How you plan to test me? I'm ready for any challenge!" Daniel said cheerfully, following behind her. Chloe, sensing something amiss, quickly caught up. She leaned in close to Daniel, whispering her disapproval.

"Daniel, do you seriously trust a ghost? She asks you to follow her, and you just go? Aren't you afraid she might lead you into a trap?"

“She's just a ghost. She can't hurt me. At worst, she might lead me to an even prettier ghost. Either way, it's no big deal. No ghost can harm me!” Daniel replied confidently.

"You're so full of it! I'm telling you, this Willow is definitely planning to trick you! She's leading you into a trap, and soon enough, she might kill you," Chloe snapped.

"Kill me? Are you serious? If she kills me, I'll just become a ghost. And if that happens, I'll come back to haunt your bed at night and scare you to death!"

"If you dare crawl into my bed, I'll kick you right off! I'll make sure you disappear for good, so you'll know what regret is!"

"When I'm already dead, I won't care about regret. I'll be a ghost, remember?"

"Keep laughing! I'll kick you until you're howling!" Chloe retorted fiercely.

Daniel and Chloe bantered back and forth, their argument sounding almost flirtatious.

Eventually, Willow stopped in front of a stone wall covered with strange symbols and numbers.

Pointing to the wall, Willow challenged Daniel, "Can you unlock this?"

Daniel glanced at it, replying nonchalantly, "Easy as pie."

"Easy? No way! I've been trying to figure this out for years and still couldn't open it," Willow said skeptically. "Why do you want to open it?" Daniel asked curiously.

"I'm curious about what's inside," Willow responded, though she was clearly lying. She knew exactly what was inside and wanted Daniel to open the secret chamber to obtain it.

“Do you really need to see inside? Don't you already know what's in there?" Daniel asked with a sly smile.

"What would I know? I know nothing! That's why I asked you to open it," Willow insisted.

"Willow, if you're lying to me, I won't open it," Daniel warned.

"If you don't open this, you won't be able to see Dog! Actually, you won't meet Dog at all! There's a secret passage inside that leads to a

cavern where Dog is hiding

If you want to see Dog, you need to open this secret chamber."

Willow's statement was both a lie and a truth. While it was true that the chamber contained a passage to the cavern, it was not the only way to get there.
