"Th-the Labyrinth? Like...with David Bowie?" Waverley stuttered in the dark in response to Marco, scrambling for any sort of familiarity to keep her grounded, to stop herself from going into a full-blown panic. She jumped, startled, and let out a little yelp when the room suddenly brightened, the darkness eliminated by a series of newly lit torches. She reached out her arm, her guitar flying back into her hand, though it seemed to be more for comfort than defense, as she hugged it tight to her chest rather than getting into some battle stance. She gulped as the monster crept from the dark, its body that of a feathered beast, with the face of an elegant woman. With shaky fingers, she turned off the flashlight of her phone, slipping it into her pocket as the monster came closer. She bent her knees, getting ready to jump to the side in case the creature leaped at her. Then, it did something unexpected. It spoke, calm and collected.
"Um..." Waverley began, thrown off by this odd change of events. The last thing she'd expected this being to say was 'answer me these riddles three,' but here they were. After processing the creatures words, her mind set to thinking. It was hard to do with her heart pounding so hard against the interior of her ribcage, but after about twenty seconds, her face lit up a little, though it seemed a little unsure. "Is it...a secret?" she asked, arching an eyebrow. She then quickly shoved her hand out to the creature, her hand trembling as she offered a handshake, despite the creature not really having hands. "I-I'm Waverley, by the way. But you can call me Waves if you want."
