Inside a dream

When the light vanished, they were now inside a maze. They looked at each other with a frown because of the sudden turn of events. The walls of it were at least five meters high and ten times thicker. They were more confused and convinced that it was not reality.

"Run!" a sudden whisper echoed in their ears followed by the rumbling and shaking of the ground. They then heard a growl from the back.

They were taken aback by what was standing behind them. It was a centaur with the upper human body that was full of muscle and it was holding an ax on its hand. It was at least seven feet tall and the centaur's feet were pounding on the ground ready to go after them anytime.

"Intruders. No intruders allowed in this area. All intruders will die!" The centaur repeated those same lines over and over again before it disappeared and appeared above the young mages with its ax that was raised in the air and ready to land on them.
