The team walks inside the dark castle carefully. Max carries a small light and shows the way. Lia looks around with a quiet face but with her eyes wide open. Zed holds a tool in his hand ready for any problems.
The walls are cold and wet. Strange marks cover the walls in a strange pattern. Tess touches the wall and feels something rough and old. She points to some marks that look like old symbols.
Max stops and looks closely at the symbols. He asks Lia what she thinks they mean. Lia steps forward and studies the marks with a slow voice. She says, 'These marks may show danger or warnings.'
Lia steps closer to the wall and looks at the marks again. She frowns and says, "These signs mean danger is near." Max listens carefully and feels the cold air in the castle. Tess watches Lia with a worried look on her face.
Meanwhile, Zed moves to another room and looks around. He finds machines on the floor, broken and silent. Zed picks up a small piece and tries to fix it. "This place had technology, but it is old and dead," he says.
The team stays close and waits for more signs. Max checks his equipment and asks everyone to be ready. Lia cleans her glasses and looks at the marks again. "We must move carefully. This castle hides something bad," she says.
Suddenly, the ground shakes under their feet. Max holds his arm tight, looking around fast. Lia gasps; she drops her tools to the floor. Zed stares at the wall; cracks appear slowly.
A loud noise comes from below, like heavy footsteps. Tess pulls Lia behind a broken machine. Max shines his torch toward the dark hole in the floor. The noise grows louder, closer, and deeper.
The team stands very still and listens carefully. Zed whispers, "We are not alone here." Lia looks scared but tries to stay calm. Tess checks Lia's arm for a cut or bruise.
Max looked at the others and said, "We must move fast." The shaking was getting worse with every second. He took a deep breath and started to run towards the castle exit. Zed and Tess followed quickly, careful not to look back.
Lia stumbled and fell to her knees during the rush. Tess stopped and knelt down beside her. "Let me see your arm," Tess said softly. Lia winced as Tess gently checked the cut on her elbow.
"You need a bandage," said Tess, pulling out some clean cloth from her bag. She wrapped Lia's arm carefully but quickly. "We can't stay here long," Max urged, looking around in fear. Lia nodded, trying to stand, holding Tess's hand for support.
They reach the last door in the long dark hall. The heavy metal door is locked tight. From behind it, a strange light shines through the cracks. The light is moving slowly and changes colour from red to blue.
Max looks at the team with a serious face. "We must open it carefully," he says. Lia nods and touches her injured side. Zed checks the door's lock mechanism quickly.
Suddenly, the light grows brighter and the air feels cold. Tess supports Lia to stay standing. Max uses his tool to unlock the door. It opens with a slow, heavy creak.
Inside, there is only darkness and a faint sound like breathing. The team steps in, unsure what waits. The strange light fades as the door closes behind them. They hold their breath and wait for what comes next.
