Sacrifice round
Welcome all teams, to our third round – Sacrifice round
It feels like we have been walking for days, but the accident just happened a few hours ago.
While I was thinking to myself I could hear the sob from the back of the group. How could we leave someone beHind? The pain was immense, but I knew that I had to be strong. The rest of the group were barely walking on their feet. They were tip-toeing. Everyone was afraid of what was going to happen next.
This feeling wouldn’t shake off. I knew that it was a matter of time. Something would happen very soon.
We kept on walking for several more hours. Suddenly the stony ground that we’ve been walking on disappeared. Everything became mossy and damp. I could see something far ahead. Was that…a light? Oh God! It was a lantern! I began to run ahead. It has been so long since I last saw something so comforting. I ran and ran, the rest of the group barely had a chance to keep up with me.
I was so close to the lantern now, it was only seconds away.
I grabbed it! The group just arrived as well. The fire was so warm and safe. Just now it felt as if this could be our new home. A warm and safe home. Of course the peace wouldn’t last for very long. I began to hear a Very weird noise. Almost mechanical, and the sound surrounded us. Oh no! IT’S A TRAP!!
The whole ground just collapsed. The group and myself just fell and fell. Perhaps hundred of feet. I knew it was too good to be true. How could I be this stupid?
“Splash, splash and splash!” sounded the water. We all fell right into a giant underground lake.
– “Hey guys, there’s an island over there!” yelled one of my team members.
We began to swim ovEr to the island. When we finally arrived we noticed that this wasn’t an ordinary island. The whole island was a giAnt altar! On the altar there was a sign written in an ancient language no one has seen in ages. Luckily my late parents taught me our history well.
But what was the name of this language now again? I know what it is called, it’s just so fuzzy.
Your scholar needs to solve the rest of the riddle now.
