Chapter 114 - The Exit

Ethan moved through the darkened maze. He remained vigilant, his senses heightened for any hint of danger but in this part of the maze, they silence and stillness still remain.After a time, he arrived in a wider passage, an unexpected oasis within the oppressive maze. A large tree stood at its center, its branches spreading wide, casting shadows in the dim light of the night. The sight of the tree was a stark contrast to the cold stone and dark corners of the maze.Ethan approached the tree, feeling the rough bark under his fingers as he traced its contours. The tree seemed ancient, its roots embedded deep in the ground, a silent witness to the countless years that had passed in this place. He decided to rest here beneath its protective canopy, because here he don't feel presence of any monsters.
