Armaverse/Chapter 16

==Intro==
In order for Sarah and Dylan to fully find out the real truth, they must face the unknown itself, the brink of mystery. They must face, The Seven Trials of Destiny.
==Description== 
I am standing there, looking at the giant being before us. His celestial form is littered with massive angelic wings, surrounded by a memorizing aura that reminds me of Aurora Borealis. I notice Dylan looking at me.
Dylan: Sarah, you okay?
Sarah: I'm just, in disbelief. I mean, we spent all this time trying to find this, Keeper of The Nebula, and now he is here, right in-front of us.
Xul Turon: Welcome, wanderers, to this sacred realm where destiny is created from shadows. I am Xul Turon, Keeper of the Nebula. It appears that destiny and fate has guided you here, to face the Seven Trials of Destiny, the key to unlocking the answers you seek and fulfilling the purpose of your journey. 
Sarah: What? Seven Trials of Destiny? What does that even mean?
Xul Turon: You two seek answers do you not? I know what you seek. The purpose of your journey. Why do you two always walk together? Why has your journey been so conveniently easy, Sarah?
I shiver for a second when he mentioned my name. The idea of being infront of this godlike being still boggles my mind.
Sarah: What the, how do you know my name?
Xul Turon: Simple. I have been waiting for you two for a long time. Well, we have been waiting for you for a long time.
Dylan: Whos we?
I turn to see another figure, the beast from the hotel area, standing on a floating platform with a slight grin on his face. My mind races with questions, but before I can ask, Xul Turon continues.
Xul Turon: You two have been chosen, Sarah. You have been chosen to fulfill a prophecy that tests the very fate of time and space.
My heart is racing, goosebumps are appearing on my body as I struggle to fully comprehend this situation.
Sarah: But what destiny? What are you even talking about?
Xul Turon: The fate of the Backrooms, Sarah, the fate of us. A darkness threatens to consume everything, and you two are the only ones who can stop it. 
I think about those words he said, and what the wisp said in my dream. Was it, trying to warn me of something? These are almost the exact same words from my dream, both from that wisp, and that mysterious figure.
Dylan: But, why? How? What can we even do against such a threat?
Xul Turon: That will be learned, in all due time. But first, worthiness must be determined. A test of courage awaits you.
Sarah: Test? What do you mean?
Xul Turon: I am the Keeper of The Seven Trials, a test of bravery, strength, and karma. You must embark on this test, and see if you are worthy of the responsibility that will soon be on your shoulders.
Sarah: That's, unsettling. But, how do we even start?
Xul Turon: You must embark complete the trials to prove your worthiness of fate, destiny, and nature.
Sarah: Okay, I promise we won't fail.
Xul Turon: Very well. Step onto the platform, and it will transport you to your first trial. I wish you luck in your endeavors, for it is you that shall push through the tides of time and discover your destiny.
With a sense of determination, Dylan and I step onto the platform, ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead. As it begins to move, carrying us towards our first trial, the mysteries of our journey and the connection to the Keeper of the Nebula weigh heavily on our minds. I am thinking about everything so far. The pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together, it feels like it is all leading up to a massive climax. I just can't figure out that our purpose of this journey, of the backrooms, is much, much bigger than we expect.
As the platform is moving away, I hear a final voice being emminated from Xul Turon.
Xul Turon: In the right time, and in the right place, you shall realize the truth. Seek your destiny, shape your fate. 
After a small period of time, we eventually arrive in a giant forest with lush, tall trees and vibrant grass.
Sarah: Woah, this looks beautiful! Is this our first trial?
Dylan: I guess so.
As the platform lands on the ground, a puff of dirt hits my body like when you trip and fall. I quickly brush the dirt off and me and Dylan look around. The environment is beautiful, but what caught my attention was this beautiful glowing fire in the middle. A multicolored flame stood tall and mighty, crackling endlessly.
I was about to speak, when Xul Turon's voice reveberates throughout the environment.
Xul Turon: Welcome wanderers, to your first trial, of The Seven Trials of Destiny. This is a test of strength and agility. The offering to the flames must be completed.
Just like that, his voice disappears. I wonder, what did he mean by offering?
Sarah: This looks cool, doesn't it?
Dylan: Yeah, it does.
Thats when we hear a loud banging sound, like a bookshelf falling over. We turn to the direction of the sound, and it happens again. Thats when something appears from the trees. A massive spectral elder stag sets its feet on the ground, creating a small hole in the ground.
Sarah: Woah, what is that thing?! 
Dylan: Looks like a giant reindeer. Those antlers though, they look like they're glowing. 
Sarah: Hold on a second, antlers. The flames in the middle, and Xul Turon was saying something about an offering. Does that mean we have to get the antlers and bring it to the fire?
Dylan: Possibly. There is only one way to find out. Whatever Xul Turon was talking about, the so called responsibility that we will soon hold, this must be the test to prove us worthy of said responsibility.
Sarah: But, what responsibility is it?
Dylan: Remember that darkness Xul Turon was talking about? And how he said we were the only ones who could stop it?
Sarah: So that must be what he meant.
Dylan: Exactly.
Our conversation is interrupted when the elder stag bleats loudly, before stomping in the ground and running in the forest...
