162 The Maze Trial (3)

…

Having made up his mind, Icarus doesn't think twice before turning and starting to walk towards the path in his left. However, after he takes two steps he is forced to stop, as Echidna quickly blocks his path, while with a disgruntled face she questions him

"Wait, where do you think you're going? I still don't understand... Didn't you say you felt you should go the middle way? So why are you going the left path?"

Faced with this question, Icarus looks at her with a confused face. Then, as if it's the most obvious thing in the world, he answers in a steady voice

"It's because this is the right path!"

Icarus then stops for a moment, before saying

"Well... technically that it's the left path, but that little detail isn't really important right now. The important thing is that I'm sure that this is the path that leads out of this maze!"
