Ethan Blackwood was an ordinary young businessman. At least he was until, during a trip, he found himself involved in an event that defied all logic he knew. Unwillingly and unexpectedly, he becomes entangled with supernatural beings, and to make matters worse, he has to deal with a demon inside his body! Now, he must become stronger if he wants to survive the challenges ahead. Will Ethan, with his new abilities, be able to survive the new challenges involving gods and demons?
With Maia recording every step he took, Ethan ventured into the forest once more. This time, he paid attention to every detail: the sounds, the shadows, the trees, and how the terrain shifted around him. Everything seemed the same, yet different. He walked for several more minutes, trying to follow the same path.
When he heard the roar of the lava river again in the distance, he knew something was wrong. Maia showed him the map she had drawn of his path, and that's when Ethan realized what was happening. The paths were changing. Where there had once been an open trail, there was now an obstacle. It was as if the forest itself was alive, transforming around him to block his progress.
"It's a damn maze," Ethan whispered with a mixture of frustration and admiration.
