S-Class Trials Final Round: Vant and Teresa's Teamwork

Teresa looked down at the small candle in her hand, barely bright enough to illuminate her face in the darkness of the room she and her partner had entered. Her eyes moved from the candle to the darkness in front of her, knowing that within it were several obstacles she and Vant would need to overcome. This thought brought her eyes back to the candle, its small flame flickering, their only light source and their lifeline as losing it not only meant total darkness but having to start back from the beginning as well. Such a setback would no doubt cost them dearly and so the candle took priority. Crystal began to form around the candle, encasing it in a crystal sphere that would act like a lantern of sorts with three small holes on each side to provide the flame with the oxygen it required to burn. The material that made up this crystal lamp also acted to magnify the light emitted by the candle as it passed through, turning their once small and fragile light to a bright orb in her hand. Protected from the elements and brighter than it had been before, they were ready to proceed. "Vant, I'll hold the candle and lead the way, keep an eye out for traps as well. Two sets of eyes are better than one."
