Maze

A path that leads to others is revealed when one of the walls buried itself. It was a long track, but I could see the wall at the end. Since the light that came straight from above still lit up the whole place, I managed to count five turns. Two on the left, and three on the right.

But there might be some further in the path that I didn't notice.

With these, I realized what these walls are trying to be.

"It's a maze," I said.

After hearing what I said, the others just stared at me. I also saw Urick gulp.

"Shit," both Urick and Siti said at the same time.

And with a soft voice paired with her default nonchalant expression, "What should we do, Gray?" Amelka asked.

As I try to think about the current situation and what action would be best for us, Amelka's voice became a beautiful and soothing background music as I am lost in my thoughts.

I was staring at the path that manifested itself when my sight is blocked by the smooth hands Amelka was waving.

"Gray?" she asked.
