Scarlet point of view

Today is the day of the competition. Micah is my partner, and the event is a test of strategy, skill, and teamwork. Each pair is tasked with navigating through a series of challenges in a labyrinth designed to test not just physical ability but also mental sharpness.

The labyrinth is known as The Shadow Maze. Rumor has it that it shifts constantly, creating illusions and traps that could confuse even the sharpest minds. It's said to adapt to its participants, exploiting their weaknesses and testing their resolve.

Micah stood beside me, her sword strapped to her back and a confident grin on her face. "Ready, Scarlet?" she asked, her voice steady.

I nodded, trying to calm the nervous flutter in my chest. "Ready as I'll ever be. We've got this, right?"

Micah chuckled and placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "Of course. Just stay close to me, and we'll make it through."
