The heroes stood by the lakeside and pondered for a few seconds. Theseus stood up and marched away.

"Are we leaving?" Said Wilt, looking around at the others.

Balagor woke up from his nap and shrugged. He leaped into the air and hit the floor with a thud, taking off after Theseus. The others slowly milled after them. Stonehard Lee stood at the back and waited before moving out himself. Airlea was the last to leave, watching the others carefully as they turned the corner by the entrance to the Labyrinth.

Purple sparks cascaded down the walls as Theseus looked up. Now or never right? What was the worst that would happen. He walked up to the doorway and pushed hard. The stone slab shifted under his weight and he stepped into the darkness. The others slowly milled over. Lee had to duck to fit his frame in.

The hall beyond was very decorative. It was surrounded by statues of the gods and of the minotaur. Maria took it all in, eyes open wide. Talion stood by the doorway looking carefully around.

"How far in do we have to go exactly?" Said Pai Chan suspiciously.

The group shrugged. Minos hadn't been specific.

"Well he wanted information on his fallen soldiers if I recall." Said Andrael helpfully.

"I disagree. He wanted us to explore and map the layout." Said Ajax triumphantly.

Genevieve glanced around at the purple sparks curiously. Finally Airlea spoke.

"Does anybody actually know what we're meant to be doing?" She asked.

There was some murmuring. Nobody did.

"Well there's only one way forward from here. I've done this before you know. So we might as well go through a few doors and just turn the hell back. If Minos doesn't pay me I'll make him pay with my sword." Said Theseus.

"For once I agree." Said Wilt with a smile.

They took in their surroundings curiously. Up ahead was a single doorway at the end of a long tunnel. It was illuminated by a strange light that didn't seem to have a viable source. Magic? It left the walls looking a strange orange colour. It was rather immaculate for a death-trap.

Peter stepped forward and felt a crunch. He looked down. A single piece of chalk lay on the floor.

"....second thoughts tough guy...."

The words echoed around the room. The heroes braced themselves. What was that? They eyed up their surroundings carefully. Nobody was there and it hadn't come from the group.

"Just one of the wizard's tricks...I'm sure." Said Andrael, doubting his own words slightly.

*loots chalk*

I don't like magic, gives me the chills

Airlea, you still got your bow and arrows?

I really doubt that the first room has anything in store for us but we should be careful for the moment.

Urk, I'm taking you're going to be in charge of using the chalk?

I agree with Ajax... I doubt it, since there are only 15 of us, but we never know.

Any idea what the chalk could be used for?

Doesn't look like we have any option as to which way we are going.

Any idea what the chalk could be used for?

Maybe a spell or just to write on the walls?

Maybe throw the chalk at the magical door?

*stares back, stores the chalk*

Airlea, you still got your bow and arrows?

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear as though they managed to stay with me.

Thought so, I lost my hunting knife as well.

Does anybody else feel this group is too small? Could there be another group going through anoter side?

Ajax @ 20/3/2013 20:05

Does anybody else feel this group is too small? Could there be another group going through anoter side?

I thought labyrinths only had one way in.

Ajax @ 20/3/2013 19:05

Does anybody else feel this group is too small? Could there be another group going through anoter side?

I was thinking the same thing. It feels small, but I can't imagine there being another side? Perhaps it is hidden to us. If that's so, I wonder what their intentions are.
