Act 2: The Enchanted Forest

In the enchanting glow of sunlight filtering through the towering branches, the enchanted forest transforms into a realm of ethereal beauty. The gentle rays of the sun pierce through the emerald canopy, creating dappled patterns of light that dance upon the moss-covered ground below. The air is alive with the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers and the subtle scent of ancient magic that permeates the forest.

A delicate mist hugs the mossy ground, adding an enchanting touch to the forest's already mystical ambiance. The mist rises in tendrils, swirling around the bases of the ancient trees like ephemeral spirits. It gives the impression of a veil between the magical realms, blurring the lines between the tangible and the ethereal.
There are paths where the mist is almost absent and you follow such paths along the creek that leads down to the lake where you saw the golden shine.

You find yourself by a pond with 6 arcane symbols floating on the surface. Under the surface is a golden ring. After a quick examination, you find the water playable, but not breakable. In this pond, you can actually walk on water.
The ring you are after is just below the surface, but right now you can't touch it.

Bex looks around for any animals that might be helpful

Realizing they can walk on walks Dot makes her way to the Glyphs and tries to figure out what the mean.
"This is soo Wild. " She jumps a few times just to see how it holds. "Woah. Cool" Then she heads to glyphs.

"Everyone! Be careful! All is probably not as it seems. The prize is too easy to see. This won't be that easy. We need to take care, be patient. and look around at our surroundings. Look at the obstacles. Look for potentially hidden things..."

Seraphina takes her own advice and doesn't rush to the pond but rather takes her time, surveying the area.

Bex seach for animals reveals fish in the pond and a few bugs
Dot examin the a glyf. Seraphine looks for the non-apparent

Looking over the Glfys.

What else is around here, particularly anything suspicious-looking?

Charlotte looks suspiciously at the glyphs. "I bet you bad things will happen if you don't solve the puzzle first," she says.

Hey little fishes. Want to help? we could really use that ring

These glyphs are different kinds of protection spells. Together they form a barrier over the water. Dot deduces that breaking the glyphs will break the barrier.Seraphine is searching for any way to circumvent this glyph challenge, but nothing stands out to her

Looking over the glyphs Dot calls out as she hops from one to the other. "These glyphs make the barrier on top of the water." She hops to another glyph. "We need to remove the Glyphs to get to the ring." She hops to another "Any idea how? Each Glyph is different...

Bex holds up a hand
Hold on. The fish said something about air swimmers. and that theyre safe from them....could be trouble

"If it's true that the glyphs are keeping us from getting to the ring then let's plan to get rid of them! As to the fish's advice. I'm not sure what he meant by air swimmers. Was it referring to us? Did the fish think we were air swimmers because we swim above the water as rule? But we are also ground walkers. Oh dear."

The prefect was confused and unsure of how to get what they wanted.

Choosing the glyph that looks it has something to do with charm Dot pulls out her wand and tries to counter or remove it.

He called me ground walker....so that's why im worried.
He takes a step on to the lakes edge. Don't want to be on the water when it isnt solid suddenly
