Chapter 13 - Prisoner's Labyrinth 5

She was welcomed in a garden which is full of flowers and plants. Flattering of wings which catches Mandy's attention, a beautiful group of butterfly. The place look's like a paradise, with a peaceful ambiance. She saw a stream of water with a clean and clear water.

'Is this possible? After all the horrible things inside the labyrinth there is still a paradise in it?' Mandy could hardly believe where she is right now. She was thinking this might be the end of it.

Meanwhile in the auditorium, students and faculty members was amazed how Mandy manage to pass through each trial she encountered. She was indeed worthy to be praised. But, right now was her last challenge before she could come out alive from the labyrinth. Many have reached where she is right now, but none of them survived. Lucky for those who didn't take the path which lead in the place they survived out of the maze.

"I was about to acknowledge her, but as she show herself right now there's no hope for her"

"You said it right, there's no way she could withstand the illusion of that place""That place was known to be home of the endangered species of Illo tree. Pollen of its flowers which spread through out the place produces a strong effect when inhaled and goes all around the body of the victim. Sometimes it will give or shows what you truly desires and it will eat your whole memory of it. Their sanity will be gone and they would never came out some in that place. Which they usually die never realizing they where still inside the labyrinth."

The auditorium was now filled with murmurs of each creatures. The rulers where still unmoved and never let their each opinion come out from them. As if they have the same thoughts, they silently watch her.

Mandy was lying on the floor full of skeletons which is from the previous creatures who reached the place. It was surrounded by the roots of the Illo tree, with the shades of the leaves which cover the whole place.

Some creatures crawl beside her. They were circling around Mandy. It was some small species which isn't affected by the pollens of Illo tree. Their appearance was like a ball of fur, with a small pair of hands and feet.

They were long residence of the said tree, they are the one which cultivates the fruits of the tree. They usually hides whenever an intruder comes to the place.

They sniff out Mandy, as if they were interested in her smell. Until they started lifting Mandy from the floor and took her away. Several minutes passed they put her down inside a cave which was formed from the roots of the tree.

As they watched her, the roots and vines of the tree started moving and wrapped around Mandy's form. The creatures rejoiced at the scene. Mandy was slowly lifted inside the tree, the roots and vines glow from Mandy, it flows through out the tree. Illuminating the once dark place, showing its entire place. The tree started to blossom flowers and fruits, almost the whole tree was covered with it.

Inside Mandy's illusion, she was confused. Wondering who would pick her up or welcomed her out. As she was strolling the place she noticed a couple of figure beside a tree. They were hand in hand looking at her direction. When she get closer to them, she almost can't held back her tears. She almost didn't recognized them. She run as she could to them, which they give her with a big smile on their face.

"We miss you so much Dy" they both tell her, when she embraced them. She cried so much in their arms, she could hardly believe she would have a chance to see them again. At that moment she wish they would never leave her side.
