Into the Maze

Excerpt from the notebook left by dead scribe’s rucksack:

… And as such any strategies typically used for navigating such labyrinths were proven ineffective. A length of thread or maintaining a leftward cadence meant nothing while the walls conspire between themselves to arrange their own plans and pathways.

At this point, we knew the space inside the labyrinth was indeed quite limited. Familiar configurations could at sometimes be seen behind us as well as just at the forefront of a long hallway. Some of the corpses themselves became familiar landmarks, passing the same recognizable atrophied face enough to become eerily monotonous.

Yet, as we press on, there seems to be a direction the labyrinth tries to discourage us from. Apart from the missing rearguard, the majority of the casualties came from the forward group when traveling towards the setting sun.

We have enough provisions to continue this way for several days more, but so far starvation has been the least of our worries. While the group turns a corner, the rearmost follower lets out a cry, and by the time we’ve turned around a hallway unfamiliar to us presents itself, and no traces of our missing compatriots.

Something, someone, or some machination unknown to us has kept us from pursuing a specific direction. The more we push for the direction of the setting sun, the more our casualties mount.

This must be the way. At Dawn, we push with all our might, all our will. May the divines bless us with safe passage.
