For a brief moment Paulina wondered if she could use the rope to swing across the gap and make it to the other side. All that she would need to do is make a lasso on one end, toss it on to one of the ledges over the gap, and tighten it.
Only problem was that she couldn't find anything she could hook the rope on. That, and she wasn't Tarzan.
She'd just have to find another way across...
Looking around some more, Paulina was hoping that something else would present itself to her, but nope...everything looked exactly as it had a few moments ago. There was nothing else for it but to venture through the door on her left and see what she could do with that staircase. So long as it held under her weight she should be able to climb with no problems; Henric HAD said that she was light. Fingers crossed that there weren't any gaps because she didn't know if she'd be able to jump across, and even if she could the impact wouldn't be good for the rest of the staircase.
Figuring that standing where she was wouldn't do her any good, Paulina made her way to the doorway. She was feeling rather nervous and anxious, and she was not enjoying the weird sensation on her stomach. Butterflies were never fun.
Ugh.
Taking a deep breath, she stepped inside the threshold. Gingerly she placed her foot on the first step. There was creaking and the board sagged...but it DID hold her weight and that was the important thing. So long as the other boards held in this manner she might be able to ascend the stairs with no real difficulty. Somehow she felt that it wouldn't the that easy, however.
There WAS a reason that these were called CHALLENGES after all. Paulina would just have to take things in stride and hope for the best because as much as she wished she could take out her wand and create a bridge, that just wasn't going to happen. Rules were rules.
Her other foot followed, and the first board was still holding though it was now sagging under her full weight. Gingerly she tried out the second step and was pleased to see that it was also holding up. Looked like being a vegetarian was paying off in more ways than one. |
