I’ve been taking different ways to get out of here‚ but I kept ending up back where I started. The walls were mocking me at my distressed‚ and they’re laughter echoed throughout the entire labyrinth. I groaned in irritation‚ gazing up at the sky. The bright moon was my only light source‚ my only aid to guide me through this darken maze. I’m aggravated that the King of the Goblins didn’t give me any tools to use for this maze‚ but he probably wouldn’t have anyway. I kicked the wall with my foot in
