<Snipped quote by Path>

How do we get out if we decide we want to leave?

@Nimda

The way will appear. It’s easier to give up, but the rewards of keeping going will be worth it. After all, this may be the easiest loot you could obtain in your life. No risk at all!
*sips again and it gets refilled*
You seem to be having a problem with the challenge. Or at least the idea of it… are you expecting more? Like danger or some extraordinary way to figure out the puzzle?

I know your type. I'm looking for the true way through this labyrinth, or I'm going to make my own.

The only kind of person who owns a labyrinth is the kind who tests and toys with others.

@Nimda

Test? Well yes, the labyrinth is a test. A test of determination and mental strength. I would assume that is a given for any maze, but I would never toy you. Otherwise you won’t show your true ability to get through a small task such as this. it seem you may be overthinking the problem. The true way is just to go through the labyrinth. Like any other one.

@Nimda

Not in a manner that you are assuming. Maybe I play around with a joke or two, but to make you wander aimlessly with no intention of letting you complete a task is just tainting what my goal is to research you two. How will I be able to learn about you two together and individually if you don’t trust me.

[Path]

You could say I am harming you two in a malicious manner if I were to “toy” with you like that. Which goes against our contract.

Lily, I have a plan.

I can spare a spell or two.

@Nimda

…I know, but I’m curious to see what it’ll do. Never seen that spell before…I’ll feed it more snacks after, it’ll be fine. I’m sure…Don’t worry.

Kay!
*Sticks my finger into the circle, causing it to morph around the appendage and grow to several times its previous size, slowly spinning with gaseous ripples of green that tint its edges and shuffle off the edges of the circle, as if unbound by the spellular structure*
