Stopping only once (to pick up the cat) you walk stealthily together to the castle’s exit. You feel as if there is a natural bond between you. It’s as if she possesses some special charisma that draws you to her. Maybe this could be the antidote to the deep loneliness you’ve lived with for so long. Could this eccentric beauty be something special? The friend you’ve never had, the soul-mate you’ve longed for? In an instant you know that you could and would give your life for this woman. For your life to be complete she must survive.
You are abruptly jolted out of your deep thought when you reach the
exit of the castle. The forest outside the gate appears so foreboding,
but the only other alternative is to use a system of underground tunnels
that had been dug years earlier for use in a vicious revolution.
The maze is sure to be filled with the gory remnants of war, and it is
said to be haunted by spirits of fallen
soldiers. As if this isn’t bad enough, you are not even positive
that the tunnels are still intact.
