Chapter 21
Facing the Beast
Elijah
Behind us, stone ground against stone as the last of us entered the strange area. We whipped around as one, but too late. The tunnelâs entrance disappeared, sealed off by a shifting wall.
We were trapped inside with the ravenous troll on the other side.
âFuck,â Julian spat, voicing my own thoughts, albeit in a bit more colorful manner than I would have used.
Considering the size of Janet, it wouldnât be long before she burst her way through and to us.
She roared and the ground shook from how close she was. The promise of death and agony lay in her cry. If I didnât solve this issue soon, weâd all be devoured.
I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath and focusing.
Losing my senses would only lead to fatal mistakes.
I placed my hand against the nearest wall where rough, cold stone met my palm. Eyes closed, I trailed my fingertips along the blocks as we walked. Each one fit seamlessly into the next. Inu, or whoever built this maze, had taken great care in its construction. But why?
Why wasnât he focusing on one trial with multiple elements, instead of having multiple trials with various ones? There had to be a method to the madness somewhere.
My middle finger dipped into a small indentation. I paused, eyes opening, and pressed harder, tracing its edges. A circular depression. I continued down the hall and I spotted them at regular intervals, like our own little series of breadcrumbs.
Hope flickered inside me. There might be a way to solve this problem before the crazed troll ate us.
âThis way, I think I know the solution.â
As if mocking my words, stone scraped against stone; a grating sound that made my teeth grind.
The walls shifted again and I reached out, searching for the one marker Iâd found.
I was greeted with a smooth, endless wall.
My insides froze. No! I had to find the indents! It was the only way forward. I reached for another wall, brushing my hand down the length until the little divots greeted me. A huge weight lifted off my chest.
The sounds of Janet and her rampage trailed off behind us as we rushed forward with my touch guiding us.
The walls shifted again, this time the one in front of us slid out of view and we stumbled into an open room. The walls were the same high stone, but it was empty besides a singular white stool in the middle.
Leading out of the room were a dozen different doors of various sizes and colors.
Escape from this place wouldnât be so easy.
That stool had to be an answer, but it could just as easily be a trap. I crept forward, eyes locked on it.
Strange symbols adorned the stoolâs wooden surface. A riddle wrapped around the seatâs rim. I traced the words with a finger:
