Thump thump thump I could hear my heart beat well the blood in my veins and a pull almost at the center of my core pulling me to the crest telling me like a missing part of me wishing to make me whole I felt if I could just touch it I would be ok as I raise my hand higher to touch the now glowing stone I felt an almost heat coming from the stone a heat that was setting my blood on fire even with this intense heat I knew I would be ok but the moment my finger touched the stone I felt a surge of energy enter my body and time itself seemed to almost slow at first it was uncomfortable but then it seem to settle as it flooded in to my very core feeling it search my entire body like it was looking for something what seemed like hours the power probed through my body and then the power pulled back so fast I almost felt weak my hand fell and my knees almost gave out I had to catch myself agist the wall but as made contact with the wall my hand passed through the stone as if it wasn’t even there I then found myself falling forward in to a dark pass I stepped forward hoping i could keep myself from fully falling no good there didn’t seem to be a floor which meant this was going to hurt fuck that hurt as I came too i was on my side my left hand hurt but didn’t seem to be broken and my head was killing me where am I it was dark I could make out a wall on the side closest to me the floor seem to be stone but covered in a layer of dirt and dust no one had been here in a while I struggled to make my way back to my feet the thin layer of dirt and dust seem to be mostly undisturbed meaning I must be the first person in the area in a while
but where could I be I am not dead so I couldn’t have fallen that far where is this the castle is not that big and as a child I made it my mission to explore it as much as possible I loved finding hidden paths and alcoves it also would make it easier to do my job and help the other slaves get around without being seen so where could I be ok don’t panic seth you got this the wall behind me must be the lower part of the outer wall so if I walk away from it that should lead to the village so there must be a way out that way ok we got this I slowly got up testing my body to see If I had any more injuries that I didn’t know about everything seem to be fine I did maybe have some bruised ribs but that should heal by tomorrow it’s good to be a wolf sometimes and the almost full night vision didn’t hurt either even with my enhanced vision I still couldn’t see the wall on the left to the far side I looked but I didn’t see any light but I guess that is to be expected I did fall through the wall. How the hell did that happen? One thing at a time, I will figure that all out later. For now, where am I and how do I get out of here? I remember in an old story my grandfather told me about an old Greek king who would throw people in a maze that most got lost and died but the way to make it out was to put one hand on the wall and keep walking and keep your hand on that wall and you would make your way out. While this is no maze that I could see, it would be easy to get turned around and I couldn't see the side wall so I would have to come up with something else. I looked around and when I fell I must have pulled a few of the things leaning against the wall in with me I long thin pole a broken barrel and few tore traps and a broken axe with half the handle missing I took the taps and cut them with the axe in to strips I took the pole cut in to two 4 ft pools and relaced the axe handle it was awkward but it would work I warp the base of the handle in the trap to make it easier to use I took the other pool and the metal band for the barrel and a piece of it side to I put the band around my waist using trap as suspenders and tied the pole to the back and the piece of side I used the side it the hole for the spout and put the pole in it with a few pieces on top to I could drag it and leave a deep defined trail in case I got turned around i backed up to the wall set myself against in and tried to start what I would hope to be a straight line to the far wall as I walk every dozen steps I would draw an arrow pointing in the way I was walking so If I crossed the line again somehow I would know which way I had already been after walking for what seemed like a hour something didn’t feel right the village was only a few hundred yards outside the walls I should have been there and the last 10 mins or so I had seem to be going uphill even if I was deeper than I thought I should have found something or at least tracks of an animal or someone something just didn’t feel right think seth think ok the village is just outside the gates past that is the farm land and then the lake there is no water down here and I can’t smell any l have been walking up hill so that means it has to surface before the lake so I just have to keep walking and I will find a way out no way I fell deeper than the lake I would have died for sure as walked for I slow become lose in my head thinking about what my father had told me I could only image the pressure my father is under my father may not be that bad after… BAM I walked into something hard maybe a wall may this is the way out or what led to it wait how long was I walking and how far did I walk… either way this will soon be over as I felt around the wall I found nothing but smooth wall
to smooth to be natural so there had to be something or someone here I remember hearing stories of a man lost in a maze and he kept one hand on the wall at all times and that helped him from becoming lost so which way do I go right and hopes that’s right lol right to be right lol left it is as I walled the stone almost seemed to heat up then seem to be alive as it seems to move under man hand soon I saw a light coming from what appeared to be hot in the wall that is either people or a way out I didn’t say anything incase they where not friendly as I slow got close to the door way that pulls inside me began to grow almost pushing me into the room I could barely stop myself something in that room was calling to me I could only hope it was a bad calling as I rounded the corn a massive beast lay sleeping with vine covering it but at the foot of this creature was the man I thought I imaged from the bard he stood up and grinned it's about time boy sure did take your time getting here
