The nightmare hunt II [Dark Forest War II - Part VIII]
-- POV General --
Unlike the others, Claire's group of three was not heading for the mountain. They had decided to try their luck westward to find a way to escape. The forest was dark and all the humans could hear was their heavy breathing and almost silent footsteps. They didn't know how long the Empress' game had been going on, but they had no plans to participate.
"Still no sign of a wall Claire !"
Dave, Claire's cousin was out front and continued to scan the surroundings as best he could. Despite the fact that there had to be a wall preventing them from running away, nothing caught their attention. Another thing that was strange for them was the feeling of going in circles without ever being able to find their way. In the forest they still had not come across any traps except for the dead ends formed by trees, plants and brambles. The three red adventurers didn't know it, but they had already fallen into the labyrinth.
"Holy crap this can't be.."
