Chapter 20 - Chapter 1: The Hunt Begins

We started our journey to the Realm of Condemn Souls, it wasn't easy getting to the realm. The moment we step foot into the realm I could feel my energy being drain out of me. My friends felt the same. "Drink the blood collected from the Blood River. It will give you a boost of energy and let your body get used to the environment here." said Draco. "Guys, drink the blood we collected earlier." I told the everyone and we drank the blood. I could feel the metallic taste of the blood going down my throat but with a little bit of sweetness after taste. Seconds later I could feel my body surging with energy and I felt normal again. "Now that taste bad. I need a breath mint." said Rose while taking out a pack of mints for everyone.

"Guys do you feel that?" says Layn, as we all suddenly felt a powerful pressure pressing against our chest. "I could feel it. But who is it that's so powerful that we could feel it from here?" said Anubis. "We should try to conceal our presence to prevent any unwelcome party chasing after us. I don't want to experience another episode of being chased by wild dogs again." I said as we cast a spell to conceal our presence from any enemies. The realm we are in felt hot and it is covered in darkness. The sky was painted red as blood and there are no trees around us. All we could see are sand, thorn bushes and mountains of bones. "There seems to be something up there. Looks like a palace" said Nick.

I tried focusing on the direction Nick pointed, he was right. There is a palace upfront, "That's quite a distance." said Anubis, "How do you suppose we get there?" Rogue questions. I look around our surroundings and all i could see are bushes covered with thorns. "I guess the only way to get to that palace is through these bushes." I said, summoning out my sword ready to cut through the bushes. "Hopefully nothing is hiding inside the bushes. I hate surprises." I said looking at Anubis. We wade through the thorns getting scratches here and there. Our clothes torn at some places due to being hook onto the thorns. "We made it out finally!!" said Jacob with a sigh. "Oh god please tell me it's not what I think that is.." said Layn with her eyes wide open with fear.

I look infront and saw an entrance, it seems like a maze entrance. There was a sign written at the wall of the entrance. I went over to check it out, "It seems like ancient Greek language" I said while trying to decipher the message. "BEWARE! This place lies the all of thy fears comes to live. He who takes on the form of anyone thee fear." I read the message out loud. "This should be the Labyrinth. It's where the minotaur lives. That's what the message says right. I read it in the books, the minotaur takes on any form that it wishes you to see especially someone whose dear to you then attacks you when your guard is down." said Rose. "Aren't there any other path to go to the palace other than this? It feels dangerous and the sign just said 'BEWARE' and that word must not be taken lightly." said Nick taking a few steps back.

"I don't see any other way to go other than this path. The whole area seems to be the labyrinth and I doubt that we could even walk around it. It's too far for us and we don't have much time to spare. We don't even know how long time has passed on the other side." said Anubis, "Then this is the only way then. Let's not get separated. Then that way we won't face the minotaur alone." I said as we all gather around the entrance. We all walked into the labyrinth together not knowing what lies ahead.
