CHAPTER 14

Unlikely Help

“Two hundred?!”

“Maybe more, who knows,” Bentley replies.

“No way. How did you even come up with that number?” I ask as we walk down a hallway that looks exactly the same as every other hallway we've walked down so far.

“When I came to, EJ was in full berserk mode. He was cutting down Imps left and right, and just like in Questworld, they left behind a small pile of dust when they died,” Bentley says.

“And you woke up in a giant pile of dust?” I ask.

“I was almost completely covered in it,” Bentley shudders. “I don’t wanna think about it, it’s gross. But anyway, I helped fight off about twenty more Imps before they stopped coming, then I had to knock EJ out, cause he was about to come at me.”

Speaking of EJ, he’s still out cold, hanging over Bentley’s left shoulder.

“That’s insane,” I say.

“Yeah it is. Imagine how much he leveled up,” Bentley responds.

“Enough with the chitchat, we have to focus on finding Brie, or have you forgotten about that?” Ryry says as we near a four-way intersection.

“No, I haven’t,” Bentley replies. “We’ve been going down the same identical, shifty hallways for the past ten minutes, what more can we do?”

“Concentrate. Look for clues or something,” Ryry scoffs.

“Everything looks the same. There’s nothing to concentrate on excep—”

Bentley is cut off as he bumps into something coming around the corner from the right hallway.

“Uh oh,” Bentley says as he stares up at one beastly looking minotaur.

And by beastly, I mean jacked up enough that he makes that Kase guy look like me in comparison.

If you slapped a bull’s head on the Hulks body, you’d get this guy.

“What do we have here?” The minotaur says slowly, almost as if he doesn’t quite speak our language very well.

And why would he, for that matter?

“Uh...” Bentley says as Ryry steps in front of us.

“Where’s our friend?” She asks.

The minotaur says something that sounds like growls and squeals, which I’m guessing is the Minotaur language.

“So we can understand it,” Ryry demands.

“The magic girl is with our king,” The minotaur replies.

“You’re gonna take us to her now,” Ryry says.

The minotaur laughs loudly, which sorta sounds like barking, but you can tell its laughter by the look on his face.

“So demanding for such a tiny human,” the minotaur says. “But if you insist. Just follow this hallway past two, then right, then follow the marks.”

Did he really just tell us the way to get there? Is it a trap?

“You better not be lying,” Ryry says, starting down the right tunnel.

“I would hurry if I were you,” the minotaur says before heading down the left tunnel.

“Why didn’t he fight us?” Bentley asks.

“I have no idea, but let’s go,” I reply, heading after Ryry.

Just as we pass the second hallway, I hear the familiar sound of the maze getting ready to shift.

“No, no, no, no, not now...” Ryry says as she turns down the next hallway on the right.

Bentley and I round the corner just as the hallway starts to shift.
