Chapter 7: The Forbidden Temple

After days of grueling travel, the team arrived at the outskirts of Zilar. Towering above them was the Forbidden Temple, its massive stone walls covered in vines. According to legend, this temple housed the greatest treasures of Zilar and was protected by ancient traps. As they entered the temple, Elena's heart raced with a mix of fear and excitement. Inside, they encountered a series of puzzles and traps, each more deadly than the last. Sophie's expertise in ancient languages proved invaluable as she deciphered the inscriptions that guided them through the temple's labyrinthine passages.
