lynchpin_castleChallenges and Challenge Zones
Challenges between Champions will take place in designated areas at designated times, since this is ultimately a formal contest and competition between the Forces of Creation, and the Forces of Unmaking. The landscape in the void will and can adapt to provide these designated areas. Sometimes, a designated area will have a ‘base’ form, and be used again and again in various ways, with different options. These specific zones are listed below.
The Labyrinth (Primarily Mental)
The labyrinth is, in its simplest form, a complex maze. Long have beings used it as a tool of mediation and focus, navigating its walls whether in the physical or mental realms. The Labyrinth is one of the main challenge-zones that always exists, but what form it takes depends on what the current challenge is. What form it takes may also have limits and restrictions to provide a proper challenge to the champions.
The base form of the Labyrinth is an enclosed and complex maze that resists attempts to break out via any means other than navigating it from start to finish. It’s layout-changes every time, but there are ways to help one learn one’s way. (String, marking the walls, etc)
The Labyrinth Zone may be reached via a teleportation pad within the Observation room of the Castle.
The Mirror Gallery (Primarily Spiritual)
The Mirror Gallery has many names, but this is the most common. Mirrors are reflections, and reflections can be distorted or far too accurate for comfort. This challenge zone also takes different forms, but the theme always remains the same in that champions have their spiritual mettle tested, be it facing their worst fears and flaws, temptation fulfilled but with great cost, or making choices that are life-altering.
The base form of the Mirror Gallery is a small building full of mirrors of various shapes, sizes, and types. Depending on what one wishes to gaze on, one may find the mirror they wish to test themselves and attempt to learn what challenges they may face. (i.e: fun-house mirrors, mirrors that show your opposite, mirrors that show what you desire most…)
The Mirror Gallery may be reached via a teleportation pad in the Tapestry gallery of the castle.
The Field (Primarily Physical)
The Field is a designated challenge zone, that adapts and changes as needed for the challenge provided. It is an interdimensional space which may resemble a racing track one time, or a sparring ring another. It can be a vast prairie, or an arctic wasteland. Depending on the climate/atmosphere of the zone, there may be additional challenges for champions here.
The base form of the Field is a large area with mountains, plains, some rivers, and plateaus. It is reachable via a teleportation pad outside of the Castle-grounds along a set path. Where it exists otherwise is not known.

Brown-eyes turned and watching the others, and trying to see past them and past the spiked-hallway. It looked like the boulder wouldn't be a problem anymore though, as it sort of got jammed with one of the larger retracting spikes--making both traps stationary, but blocking the way they'd come.

Even though she was right there with them, it was reassuring to hear Ahsoka's voice in a faint buzz through the communicators too.
Trunks turned his attention to Tamaki, who still seemed a bit twitchy (more so than usual) even after Ahsoka's words and help to his feet. "It'll be alright, Suoh-kun." He wasn't sure about the honorific or name, but it was one that Tamaki had said they could call him, so Suoh-kun it was. Especially since Trunks' own feelings weren't sure now what was going on with the blonde and Ahsoka. "From what you've told me about what you're used to, I know this is an adjustment. But you'll be okay, and we'll make sure of it."
Confidence in his tone, and studying the taller boy. His Ki was shaky, which wasn't surprising given the nerves. "Breathe. Do you have a flashlight in that bag?" Trying to give him something to focus on, and despite the wide-purple-eyes still being a bit dilated too much, there was a nod. Tamaki fishing in his backpack for a moment. A hint of his old grin, when he pulled out a large and bright flashlight. "I think it doubles as a lantern, if we need it to."
Turning it on, a bit nervously and with an apologetic "Sorry!" as Trunks winced when the beam came on in his face first, before the blonde was moving it. Having something to focus on clearly helped the blonde, and it meant all 3 of them had a way to make light now, as Trunks let the ki ball in his hand dissipate.
"We should keep moving, while waiting for their response."
