Ep 11. Step Right Up

At the start of the eleventh episode of Lolirock season 1, the three princesses, Iris, Talia, and Auriana, are wandering through the marketplace and come across a poster advertising the biggest carnival in Ephedia. As they ponder over whether they should attend it, a group of knights suddenly appear, chasing after a butterfly-like creature. The princesses quickly use their powers to apprehend the creature and calm it down. The creature reveals that it was just a performer at the carnival, and that it had escaped after being scared by the knights.

As thanks for helping out, the creature gives the princesses vouchers to attend the carnival for free. Excited, the girls head to the carnival where they are greeted with a myriad of fun games and exciting rides. As they explore the carnival, they come across a mysterious fortune-telling booth which draws their attention.

Curious about what the future holds for them, the princesses decide to have their fortunes told. But as they sit down to receive their readings, they suddenly disappear into thin air. Upon their reappearance, it's revealed that they have been teleported into the fortune-teller's crystal ball, and in order to get out, they must play a game called 'The Empress's Challenge.'

The game involves getting through a tower of seven rooms, each one with a different challenge. The first challenge is a game of strength, the second is a test of agility, the third is a riddle, the fourth is a memory game, the fifth is a test of balance, the sixth is a speed challenge, and the seventh and final challenge is to face their greatest fear.

As they make their way through these challenges, the girls learn more about themselves and their abilities. For example, in the strength challenge, Iris realizes that her powers are not just limited to her voice and can also be used to enhance her physical strength. In the memory game, Talia uses her photographic memory to beat the challenge.

But it's in the final challenge where the girls truly show their strength. Auriana, who is afraid of heights, must cross a perilous tightrope while being chased by a demon. She's initially paralyzed with fear but draws on her inner strength and manages to overcome her fear. Iris, who is afraid of letting others down, is faced with a group of far-off dancers who claim she's not good enough. She overcomes her fear by performing an impressive song and dance routine. Finally, Talia, who is afraid of being alone, must face a room filled with mirrors and fight her own reflection. She emerges victorious and with renewed confidence.

After completing all the challenges successfully, the girls are transported back to the carnival, where they are congratulated by their friends and the fortune-teller. As a reward for their bravery, they're each given a magical stone that will help them enhance their powers.

The episode ends with the girls enjoying the rest of the carnival, grateful for the lessons they've learned and the friendships they've forged.
