The woman, not moved in any way or form by your show of anger, says,
"Perhaps, one could try each Skill at a time until successful and then move on to the next Skill."
She puts her hands on her waist as though to protest the suggestion but she knows that would be useless so she turns around and heads back determined to beat the monster. First she starts with the run.
Your attempt is brave but not good enough. You will have to try again until you can overcome the challenge. The woman watches on in her place at the Tower.
Krusten sighs as she lines up herself with the monster test hoping that she does not fail it and most of all her own pride yet again. She runs…
Even with her best effort Krusten cannot meet the challenge and it is largely because her will is greater than her preparation. Her rudimentary introduction to the kind of Running needed for this test is too mild or at least she considers that up to this point.
Krusten, for the first time in a long time realizes that something is bigger than her. Never one for running from anything she realizes that even this skill needs to be learned. She leaves the portal for now to return when she is ready.
Krusten uses the Time Key and is now joined to this world.
