Consequences (Volume 1 Finale)

Miri, Soren, Beric and Lorek were standing in front of the massive gate. The sole gate that they left untouched was now their only hope of finding something helpful for their friends. No one knew that these four were planning to enter the maze except Asher. So that he can stop others from following them.

It was their time as their friends to do something in return. Lorek touched the rough surface of the gate. The wall sprang to life once more as usual, its surface lit up with a flickering glow. A riddle materialised on the screen:

"What is the smallest number that increases by 12 when it is flipped and turned upside-down?"

Lorek immediately let out a sigh, "Easy" he steps back and loudly announces, "86!"

"Heyyyy!!!" Miri shouts, "What are you-"

The screen erupted in a blinding flash, and the sound of thunder shook the room. The towering wall trembled and groaned slowly emerging as a pathway for them.

"Smartass" Beric commented.
