Salander continue to run down the maze, taking Rae along with him. Several times they encountered dead ends and wrong turns that lead them right back to where they had already been. After marking the walls with gold paint to help them figure out where they are they finally found a path where they feel a breeze coming up ahead. In their excitement they ran towards the clearing....

.... and nearly fell into a chasm in the middle of the floor

"Whoah back up!" he gasped in alarm pushing himself and Rae back onto solid ground. He looked around and saw that there were giant blocks of stones in geometric shapes scattered on the floor. Taking out his wand he cast "Wingardium Leviosa" lifting each of the shapes into a standing position. He looked at the 7 giant stones then at the giant square hole. "This looks like a puzzle... " he murmured. "Mobiliarbus" he cast onto the largest piece-- a massive triangular rock-- onto the gap. When he let it go it remained floating in the hole "These stones cover the gap..... looks like they have to be fitted into the hole so we can use them to cross to the other side."

He continued lifting the stones, fitting them and moving them around, analyzing their shapes and how they fit relative to one another. About halfway through Salander was getting tired, the massive stones werent light and moving them around and trying the other stones was testing his patience and his endurance. But he fought to remained focused at the task. He wanted to succeed in getting out of the maze, he cannot quit now.

After a few more stone lifting and moving finally got him to set the final piece-- which to him looked like an oddly shaped rectangle-- onto the last gaping hole. The stones suddenly glowed to life and settled down solidly, allowing them to cross over. ''That's it! Lets get outta here!" he exclaimed as he grabbed Rae's hand and ran across the now stone floor to the other side, to freedom.
