“Are you sure it is this way? The last tunnel almost turned us into charred meat.” Raqee bickered at Woldiniar. “Besides, could we not stop and rest a little? No one goes through here. If they did, we would have been found by now.”

Woldiniar slowly exhaled as he turned to look back at Raqee. “If you have this much trouble after only an hour, you will surely die within the next few. This is a labyrinth. It is not just one turn, and you are there. These places hold many traps. Unless you created it or have a map, there is no shortcut. Now, for the love of The Damned Flame, shut your mouth!”

Raqee laughed. “You really despise our creator, don’t you? Why is that? She is a loving Goddess. Without Her, we would not exist.”

“She is a selfish goddess who only cares about the love her creatures will give her. She cares not about their suffering. And that is why She is in her current predicament. Serves her right.”

“What predicament? What is wrong with Her?”

Woldiniar smiled deviously at Raqee. “Her desire to remain in control caused Her destruction. She still lives, just not in Her former glory. That is all I will say. Now, let me focus. We have two options, and I need to sense which one is right.”

“Like you did the last four times?” Raqee mumbled under his breath as he sat down. He began to pick thorns off his cape. He stuck a finger through one of the holes caused by darts from a trap they fell through. He looked up at Woldiniar. “I know you hired me, but you will need to compensate me when this is done. My shoes are slightly melted. My cape is covered in holes. My pants have tears from nearly falling to my death when the floor fell away.”

“But did you die?”

He glared at him. “No, but in these last couple of hours, I have come close too many times. How about I pick the next tunnel? It seems a warlock cannot sense another warlock’s traps. Maybe a ‘snitch’ as you called me could?”

“No, I am not letting you pick. You might send us down one filled with poison gas. That would be harder to escape from. Now, we are going this way!” Woldiniar pointed to the tunnel in the middle.

“Why this one? Are you trying to finish me off, so you do not have to replace my wardrobe?”

Woldiniar laughed. “I feel strong magic from this one. If it is a trap, then we might die. If it is not, we will find whoever is here and what they are doing.” He walked ahead, swinging his arms and humming.

Raqee looked at the other paths. His face filled with concern over Woldiniar’s reasoning. He shrugged his shoulders and followed.

The path bent more than once, with small tunnels diverting off into dead ends.

The walls began to widen out as they continued. Woldiniar walked with his shoulders back. “It seems we are going the right way after all.
