Alright, second chapter, forgot to mention, I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING FROM OR OF LABYRINTH.
Please enjoy ;w;
Listen up, because clearly some people cannot read.
No, there is no direct identity for the main character/protagonist of the story. There will be no names or identities for any story I write, and that is just how I write. If you don't like it, PLEASE don't write a review saying "No real character by x-chapter, I'm not bothering" or other such things. That's not what I care to hear, that's not the type of feedback I want. I specified that this character is a nameless character, she doesn't receive her 'name' or rather 'title' until the end, or until you go to my page and look at the story set with her title.
In doing so, this also gives the reader a feel of being able to make this character WHOMEVER they want. There are no restraints, there are no disappointing details, it's whoever you imagine it to be, you can just as easily ignore the picture, it's just a picture, a nice cover art my girlfriend made for me. It allows for the readers to get more into it, allows them to put a picture, a name, a person into this role as they so desire. In some occasions, themselves I'm sure.
I can't be positive of that, but I have 35 people following it for a reason, right?
I'm sorry if other people seem to have a problem with that, in fact, if so, feel free to message me, don't put it in a review, don't give it out for everyone else to see. But I will happily tend to any problem the vast majority has.
If this identity thing is an issue, I will resolve it and rewrite the entire story with a real 'character'. Mmkay? I just need more than just one person saying so, in case more like it and/or don't really care.
I must admit, it was kinda cool to see the labyrinth from atop the little hill. I mean, how often does someone get the chance to actually see something this... This.. Awesome? I mean, sure, it kinda sucks that I have to try and save my own tail, no thanks to one of my brothers again, but still. You could see the whole labyrinth from here... Even the castle at the other end!
I sighed, trudging down the hill. There was no point in trying to memorize the route-I had a terrible memory for these things, and would easily get confused and lost anyways. There were more than enough open pathways I could take, it seemed. I was positive I could make it to the castle, probably even with time to spare. When I got down to the wall, however, I couldn't see a way in.
"...Is this some kind of joke..?" I asked no one in particular, walking along the edge. I stopped, crossing my arms. "How the hell am I supposed to get inside? There aren't any- ...What the..? How did... Huh..."
When I had turned back, for some odd reason, there was now a gate behind me. I walked up, grabbing one of the large handles. I stopped caring abouthow it got there, when I swore there wasn't anything there, and was just glad it had even appeared. I slowly pulled one open and entered the giant maze. The inner walls weren't nearly as tall as the outer wall. That could come in handy...
I jumped as the gate slammed shut behind me. Looks like this is gonna be a one-way trip... I looked left and right, down the seemingly endless passageways. I hated having to make decisions for this exact reason. One path was more than likely going to get me somewhere, while the other one probably wouldn't... But from looking down each, there didn't seem to be any openings leading further into the labyrinth. So instead of choosing left or right I chose to try going straight...over the wall.
It wasn't going to be easy though... Given that I'd only recently taken up parkour, and there was limited space for a running start. Not to mention that the walls were covered in moss and... Are those eyes..? And the strange amount of sparkles... What is with this place? Anyways, I backed up against the opposing wall before pushing off and running a few steps at the one in front. I leapt at the last second, trying to reach for the top, but slipped on some moss. I managed to land on my feet before falling over. This was going to be a lot harder than I thought...
I got up and tried again, this time successfully getting a hold of the top of the wall, slowly struggling to pull myself up. I checked my arms to see if I'd done any damage. Fortunately not. That would be the last thing I needed at this point. I didn't have my long-gloves or sleeves, so I was going to have to be extra careful when climbing.
I slowly stood up and took a look around. There were a lot of passageways... Hundreds... Maybe even thousands... There was no way I could keep climbing up and down and still make it in time. I started walking along the tops, hoping that there was at least one wall that could take me at least someof the way there.
I managed to make it a good distance before running out of wall. Looking around, I couldn't see any other connection that I could use to walk around, and I could not make the jump from this wall to the next, unlike some of the boys teaching me. With that said, I mentally mapped out a few paths that I could probably easily remember. With a heavy sigh, I crouched down, grabbing the edge and hanging off the side. I let go, somehow managing to stay on both feet as I hit the ground. But when I turned around, the open passageway I was going to start with was suddenly gone.
"Things are not always what they seem, in the Labyrinth." Spinning back around, the wall I had just been standing on was now gone as well, and in its wake stood the man I was seeking.
I stood there, merely staring at him. This place really didn't make any sense. "Am I... Dreaming? I mean-none of this is real. ...Right?"
"I'm afraid it is very real," he replied, crossing his arms. I looked around. How could this not be a dream? It kinda feels dreamlike... I looked back at him. ...He who was now dangerously close to me.
"You're right, it can't be..." I muttered, slowly scooting away, causing him to laugh lightly in an amused fashion. "Otherwise I wouldn't be asking such a stupid question, and by now something absolutely and inexplicably ridiculous would have happened..."
"You'd be surprised at some of the things that go on within my Labyrinth.." he said, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. I had tried to duck away but failed, and my face started burning up. I looked away, and I'm pretty sure he didn't notice. Swivelling his hand, he made a small crystal ball appear.
I couldn't help but wonder...about what he was going to do...and more importantly...what was going on here?
