A set of iron spikes shot out from the wall, nearly impaling Selene.
She reacted instantly, twisting her body in an elegant leap, landing gracefully on the other side.

Aria's heart was pounding.
This maze wasn't just a puzzle. It was a death trap.

Another roar sounded—closer this time.

A Maze Guardian.
The moment it spotted them, it charged.
"SCATTER!" Ronan shouted.
Aria barely had time to think before the massive creature lunged forward, its powerful limbs shaking the ground beneath them.
A monstrous creature, easily over eight feet tall, emerged from the darkness. Its hulking form was covered in jagged obsidian scales, glowing red eyes locked onto them like prey.
