The three friends had been walking for hours, and the sun was beginning to set. They had been searching for the dark tower, but had yet to find it. As they continued on their journey, they noticed a large, looming structure in the distance.
"Look!" Fatima exclaimed. "It's the dark tower!"
The three friends ran towards the tower, their hearts pounding with excitement. As they got closer, they could see that the tower was made of black stone and had a single door at the base.
Abdulazeez stepped forward and knocked on the door. There was no answer. He knocked again, and this time the door opened.
The three friends stepped inside, and were immediately met with darkness. They could barely make out the shapes of the walls and the stairs leading up to the top of the tower.
"Let's go," Olufunmilayo said.
The three friends began to climb the stairs, their feet echoing off the walls. As they reached the top, they were met with a large, dark room. In the center of the room was a large throne, and sitting on the throne was a figure cloaked in shadows.
The figure stood up and stepped forward. "Welcome," it said in a deep, raspy voice. "I am the keeper of the dark tower. What brings you here?"
The three friends looked at each other nervously. "We're looking for a way to save our village," Abdulazeez said.
The figure nodded. "I can help you," it said. "But first, you must answer a riddle. If you answer correctly, I will give you the power to save your village."
The three friends looked at each other, their eyes wide with anticipation. Olufunmilayo stepped forward and said, "We accept your challenge."
The figure smiled and began to speak. "What is the one thing that can never be taken away?"
The three friends thought for a moment, and then Fatima spoke up. "Hope," she said.
The figure nodded. "Correct," it said. "You have answered correctly. I will now give you the power to save your village."
The figure waved its hand, and a bright light filled the room. When the light faded, the three friends found themselves standing in the middle of their village, surrounded by their friends and family.
The villagers cheered, and the three friends smiled. They had done it! They had saved their village from the dark tower.
