The Wandering of Bone Strength
Chapter 14: The Test of Team Harmony

After successfully passing the test of courage and inner strength, Ardi, Valen, and Aria stepped confidently in front of Elyra. The challenges they face have brought them even closer to each other, and their spirits are burning even more to face the ultimate test inside this ancient temple.

Elyra smiled in appreciation. "You have shown incredible determination and courage. Now, it's time to face the final test: the test of team harmony. In this exam, you will be faced with a situation where you have to work together perfectly as a team."

With the words of the spirit-burning Elyra, they walked towards the door of the third portal. They entered a world full of mystery, where the sky was bright purple and huge trees seemed to face the sky. Before them lay a vast meadow, with towering trees around it.

"Your job is to find a precious object hidden in this forest" said Elyra. "However, on this journey, you must work together perfectly. Only by collaborating and understanding each other's roles will you be able to successfully complete this exam."

Ardi, Valen, and Aria looked at each other with enthusiasm. They are ready to prove that team harmony is not an obstacle. Each step presents new challenges, and each situation demands cooperation and good communication.

The moment they entered the forest, they were immediately greeted by a beautiful expanse of glowing flowers. However, they felt an unusual energy vibration, as if this forest had a kind of feeling of its own. They walked deeply, following the trail that led them deeper into the forest.

Suddenly, they were faced with a flowing river. There were no bridges or paths to cross, and they knew that in order to continue, they had to find a way to cross together.

"What should we do?" valen asked, feeling a dilemma.

Ardi looked around and saw some large rocks near the river. "Maybe we can use those stones as a foothold to cross."

However, as they tried to cross the river on a rock footing, they realized that they needed a longer time and a lot of effort to move along. Aria suddenly got the idea and took out her magic wand.

"With magic power, I can create a temporary bridge over the river" Aria said. With the movement of his staff, a bridge of light appeared above the river. They walked together on the bridge carefully, feeling grateful for the contribution Aria made.

As they continued their journey, the forest suddenly became darker and busier. They had to find a way out of the dense maze of trees, and this situation required them to support each other and direct each other.

"We'll get lost if we don't know the right direction" Ardi said, trying to stay calm.

Valen looked at the surrounding trees and picked up a small trunk. "I'll mark our path by scratching the tree with this mark."

Valen stopped his steps and looked at his two friends with faces full of doubt. "We have to find a way out of here. But how can we determine the right direction?"

Aria tried to use her magic power to recognize the direction of the wind eye, but her magic energy felt different in this place. "I feel like my magic energy is not working as it should be here."

In uncertainty and doubt, they try to recognize sounds and light patterns that may be able to provide clues. However, everything felt blurry and difficult to decipher. They feel like the magical power of this place is obscuring all the clues that exist.

Time passed, and they remained lost in the maze of fickle trees. The longer, the harder it is for them to recognize each other in the midst of darkness and uncertainty. Desperation began to take hold of their minds.

"I don't know how to get out of here," Aria said in a depressed voice.

Valen looked at the sky which now looked dark red. "Is this the end of our journey?"

However, just as they were about to succumb to a sense of despair, Ardi saw a small light flickering behind the bushes. With a feeling of hope, he stepped closer and found something they never expected: a small crystal that emitted a gentle light.

"You guys see this?" asked Ardi enthusiastically. "Maybe this is the key to getting out of here."

With hope growing, they held onto the crystal and felt the warmth of the energy within. When they looked closely, they saw fickle blurred images on the surface of the crystal. The pictures looked like the clues they were looking for.

"Maybe this is a hint of the right direction" Valen said as he looked at the crystal with hope.

They decided to follow the pictures on the crystal. Each step they took took took them deeper into the changing forest. When they got to a certain point, the images on the crystal stopped changing and appeared to be pointing in a certain direction.

The ground under their feet felt suddenly sturdy and stable. The dim moonlight illuminated the place where they stood. Before them lay a dead end that ended with a luminous portal.

"I feel like this is the real way out" Aria said with a sense of hope.

With steady steps, they stepped towards the portal and felt a magical vibe filling them.

In this clearing, they found a precious artifact promised by Elyra. However, just after they grabbed it, the ground around them started to shake and those precious objects turned into grains of light.

Elyra appeared before them, with a satisfied smile. "You guys have passed the team harmony test. The artifact is just an illusion reflecting the power of your togetherness and collaboration."
