Revelation
The revelation that they were nearing the end of the trial came quickly. No-Face's appearance was becoming more and more frequent, leading them though the labyrinthine hallways that twisted and turned in the most dizzying of ways as the maze fought to contain them within its depths.
The shadows were appearing more and more as well, sometimes just illusions, sometimes dangerously real. Forming out of nothingness they leapt at them, trying to form blockades to bar their path. Appearing with gnashing teeth, intent on maiming in their quest to halt their progress.
So close. So close. So close.
She wasn't sure how she knew, but she could feel the knot of it in her belly, the anticipation of the end. They were almost there.
And as they approached a corner with such brightness emanating from it, she saw him once more, and though his mouth didn't move, she could hear Zeniba's words whispering to her. "Follow the river to its source, he will help you. And be careful; violence will make it spread."
Note: So, I think the universe is trolling me. I have a busted lip from running into the door of all things, a sizable cut on the inside of my throat from a hidden sharp piece in my popcorn, and I have a toothache... for unknown reasons. So drinking feels like I'm turning back lava shots, and chewing sends a sharp radiating pain all the way up into my ear canal. -_- Every time something new happens I keep picturing the troll-face going 'You mad?'
