While Cethin was taking the herbs, she stood aside and whispered as he was done. "Gather everything." 

One by one item disappeared and turned into a tiny crystal and disappeared. Kendra chuckled as she felt the energy in her headpiece. It gathered those things, without them becoming spellbound. 

Suddenly a voice could be heard. "Good, good. Someone used Scroll of Gathering smartly. But this room can't stay empty. All those items must come back for the others that need this chance. Tell me, what do you want in exchange?"

Why is that voice familiar? 

Kendra's heart started beating hard but she controlled it quickly and came forward. "I shall exchange for two Cultivation Potions and I need a way for my stave to become just like me, with multiple powers."

"Hmmm, little one. Aren't you greedy?" The voice became angry.

Kendra shrugged. "Or I can sell all those items and get those three things. It's not like I asked to help become God instantly. I just want to help two friends to become what they need and need stave to help my own cultivation. Nothing's extreme."

First, there was silence and then the voice sighed. "So is it. Good. As the potions are not to enhance your own power than help others get one, I'll help you with the stave. Now release the items."

Kendra waved her hand and all the items that were collected went back without losing their basic ability.

Her stave suddenly started shaking and she let it go. The skull became a dragon. His head had green eyes, a red fire spewed out his mouth, his horns had electricity, on his black body scales were filled with wind and water energy and was hugging white bone structure. 

It looked heavy, but it was light. 

As she touched it her smile became big. "Thank you. This is perfect for me."

"As you grow your powers, it will grow its powers as well. Now go and let me sleep. So sleepy..." Suddenly the whole group was transported and appeared in mid of the mountain, surrounded by many other cultivators.

"You all finished task in one try!" They all knew that the last group was doing a quest and were ready, but suddenly they were all summoned just half a day later. How ridiculous!

Molok glanced at Kendra and then nodded. "Our group works well together, so we had no problem with the ice storm and escaping the labyrinth was easy." He didn't explain how they finished it and none of the cultivators spoke about it.

Even Maximilian was tight-lipped as few cultivators approached him and asked in curiosity. In the future, he might use the same way to enter that place on time. And he might gather a couple of good things again. 

Everyone had the same idea. 

While they spoke a strange building started appearing and their voices ebbed among the noise of the opening gates. A woman in white clothes floated in mid of the gate and rose her eyebrows. "To all those that never joined this task, I'll explain the rules."

Everyone breathlessly looked at her as she explained. Her voice was enchanting, so many became muddled, but luckily not all.

"Each of you will work for himself and for the group at the same time. The more effort you put into group work, the better prices you will get. After each array, you will be able to search the surroundings for a day. Then you will be summoned to the next array and the next search can be prolonged to two days. After the third array three days. But if you fail to pass the same array three times, you will fail and will be transported outside."

She didn't care did they hear her or understand her, as they were transported inside the building and the huge door crashed as it closed behind them. 

Molok waved his hand. "Get closer, we are in the first array. It's snow giants against us."

Kendra was stunned. Isn't it a bit too much for the first array?

She rushed behind them and realized it was a strange snowball game. There are five giants. They throw snowballs of the size of a house at them. 

They need to avoid that snowball and hit each of the giants three times. The problem was the size. Suddenly she got an idea and rushed to Molok. "Leader! I have an idea!"

The other leaders shook their heads and were leading their groups forwards, as Kendra explained her own idea. "...so, do you think it is possible?"

Molok looked at their excited faces. "If we work together, this might be possible. The faster we finish, the better for us. We will have more chances to gather."

Everyone understood the idea. Each group had to fight one giant. The moment they finish him off they will be transported outside and the time of the day will start when the last giant is down. That means they could have a long time to gather things. 

While others already found ways to hide and summon snowball, their group headed straight at the showman and waited until he summoned snowball in his hand. Then they gathered energy together and blew the snowball straight at the giant before he could even throw. 

After they won, they disappeared and appeared in mid of a big ancient forest. Even Molok was stunned for a second. Suddenly a melodic voice could be heard. "First time in two hundred years none won so fast. So we will give you an additional task. If you pass that one, you will be given permission to enter second-tier Cave of Task."

A huge wolf appeared in front of them and just stared. His blood-red eyes passed many and looked at last at Molok. "You are a leader?"

Molok stepped calmly forward. "Yes."

"Then do you choose to fight me or do you want someone else to fight me?" He looked around and saw everyone stepping back except a few people. "Interesting. We have two leaders here. Good. Then the two of you fight me."

Cethin was about to step forward when Zami grabbed his arm and pulled him back. "Idiot."

She could already see a huge smile on Kendra's face. 

In her heart, she sent a little prayer for the big wolf. Poor Wolfie...
