Blinking to clear his gaze, Lumian looks upon the pce that he has appeared in. It seems to be a retively dark stone bricked room with barely any lighting from what looked to be lumi crystals lining the edges of the bottom of the walls of the room. After taking stock of the immediate surroundings he noticed a door that appeared to be stained in dark oak with a metal lock without a key to exit.
As Lumian looked at the door, words appeared etched into them that reveal that the door is the entrao a great byrinth and home to many traps and monsters. Hm, seems that I will o be careful navigating. Lumian thinks to himself when looking at the words etched on the door. Opening the lock through lockpig with the knife, he opens the door.
CreAk
The door when opened gave a rge creaking noise due to the rusted and unoiled hinges where within the beyond has aremely dark tuhat looks as if it eventually splits into multiple passageways towards the end. Finding a few small stones on the ground, Lumian carefully picks them up and feeling that they do not weigh much decides to use them in case there are any traps beyond the door.
k, k, k
After throwing a stone as if skipping it on water, nothing seems to be triggered allowing Lumian to sigh in relief that there are no immediate traps along the tureading along the path, he suddenly gets the idea to draw his dagger and use the tip to try and leave a mark on the wall of the tunnel in which it seemed to work as there is a slight scratch. Haha, at least this way if I go the wrong path I walk back without getting lost to try another.
By time he fihis thought, Lumian has reached the end of the tunnel where it splits up into four different paths. Trying to gaze into them yet finding only the solitude of darkness in all of them only leads him to see that he'll have difficulty navigating them. As he moves to eatrao see if there were other differences he feels a spiingling chill at the entrance of the third passageway and gazing into its depths only increased his heartrate. I'll piy other path just not this o feels too dangerous. Lumian feeling dread as he thought this turned and immediately went down the fourth tunnel just after marking the entrah his dagger.
Many twists and turns ter, Lumian came across a dead end by bumping into the wall. "Oof." After doing so, Lumian walks back the way he came and decides to repeat the process by avoiding the third tunnel yet each pathway only led to a dead end. "Do I really have to go into third one?" He thinks to himself in sternation and biting down on his lip before sighing and carefully treading dowh.
As he walked, the skin prickled in tenseness every few seds leading to a fight or flight respoo ki every now and again. Just as he was about to take aep, Lumian's eyes that were slowly bee adjusted due to the dark caught sight of a very thin razor wire eye level.
A bead of sweat dripped down his brow before he walked uhe wire, ensuring he wasn't caught on it and threw a stone just ahead in case there were arap. After what felt like awo to three hours, Lumian finally reached the end of the tunnel which opened up into a slightly rger space with two doors on the left and right of the room. Another choice?
Walking up to each of the doors, they both seemed to have symbols etched onto them. The left one had what looked to be water with bubbles and steam ing off of it and imagery of what to be a snake or lizard like creature, whereas the right one had many spider looking imagery of various sizes.
I'm going to go with the spiders, the lizard shings looks like there is terrible terrain to navigate. Lumian es to a clusion before opening the door and passing through.
After a short period of time, walking down this path led to small strands of sticky web ging onto the walls ceiling and floors in which Lumialy navigates whilst routihrowing stoo check for possible unassuming traps.

As Lumian nears the exit of the winding tunnel, he es face to face with many rustling, scurrying, g sounds from the room directly opposite him. Peering through the makeshift tunnel doorway, he spies a couple of near human sized spiders scuttling around the enclosed room with what looks to be a to the left. E! Fuck, disgusting is. Freaking out, Lumian widened his gaze in abject horror at the size of these monsters before thinking of a strategy to get to that door.
Bringing out a lump of charcoal, Lumian carefully sets it alight using the sparks of the knife against the stone wall. O was lit, he threw it to the extreme dire of the right as for as he could.

The noise drew the attention of the spiders into the dire of the fming rock, prodding it to see if there were aion, Meanwhile Lumian sprinted as fast and as silently as he to the door on the left while they were distracted. Hurry! Almost there!
SCREEEEEEE
The spiders growing bored of the fming rock heard the not so subtle sounds of Lumian as he he door letting out a screech realising they were fooled in that moment before poung towards him from across the room. Lumian mao get past the door before blog it from the spiders by log it from the i that didn't stop them fr to attack their prey.
BANG BANG
Panting heavily, Lumian slumped down onto the ground and leaned against the wall as he caught his breath from running away from these monstrosities. "God...ha...that was...ha...horrifying." Excimed Lumian "I NEVER want to see any is the size of humans ever again!"
After catg his breath, he got back up and tinued dowunnel before meeting a small space with a door that glowed slightly depending on how it roached. Looking at the door, just above its lihere was a question inscribed in stohat reads; What is Death?
Squinting his eyes, Lumia a good half an hour like this before finally making an expression of vi as he said out loud for the door to hear, "Death is the eternal embrace of sleep at the end of life where all of existence must meet it in some form, none escape it therefore, death is eternal heerna Mortem."
A brief pause followed by a king sound before the door swung open as if to invite Lumian for saying the correswer in order to let him approach the step. Lumian, taking his cue, walked through the boundary of the doorframe only to see the words;
