You... You Tamed it?
Trapped between two formidable foes, William felt a surge of despair. He couldn't possibly subdue both lizards for the taming ritual. He needed to escape, regroup, and formulate a new plan.
Just as he considered his options, two figures appeared at the cave entrance – Xavier and another student.
"William?" Xavier called out, feigning surprise. "What's going on here? Look at those lizards!"
Despite his misgivings about Xavier, William clung to a sliver of hope. "Can you handle one of them?" he shouted back. "I'm pinned down here!"
Xavier reacted swiftly, but not in the way William expected. He raised his scepter, casting an Earth element spell that conjured a solid barrier, sealing the cave entrance shut.
William's heart sank. Xavier had betrayed him, deliberately trapping him with the enraged lizards. A wave of confusion and anger washed over him. What possible motive could Xavier have for such a treacherous act?
