The Maze of Fear

Act 1 part 4

Upon entering the Throne room he saw what looked like a king, above him hanging a key. Key to what? And he seems to be made out of stone. Alex looked a bit around the Thorne Room, there was no one besides him and the king, some shadows that might represent knights. Alex heard something and turned his head towards the Thorne. Did the statue move? He couldn't tell. He was about to take a step closer to the Thorne when a Damsel flew by him with the same ear piercing scream that left Alex looking after her. When he turned his head around the King seemed closer again. He took a step back and looked away for a moment. The King was closer. Alex came to the realization that The King only moves when you're not looking at him. This should be easy shouldn't it?
Well easy is a stretch since there's always something to distract Alex from the king allowing him to get closer. Alex looked around quickly, switching between lookin around and at the king

"This taky piece of stone.." Alex said. With a small glimpse he spotted a sword. If anything he should take it. It was rusty but he had nothing else to work with.  He took it  slowly while still looking at the king.

He backed away more to the Throne while keeping eye contact. Once he saw he's far away from the king but a few steps closer to the key he bolted on top of the Throne to take the key, when he turned back the King was in his face. His eyes looking at Alex analyzing him. Alex went pale for a bit before he heard The Executioner speak

"Good job princey, here's the door get there"

He said making the door wich Alex entered to change. Alex walked slowly past the king again maintaing eye contact. But the moment he was behind the king he saw knights approaching. 

"Oh you gotta be kidding me" Alex said.

He had two options.

Run for you life and pray you open that door fast

Or stay and fight.

Alex would have stayed and fought but in that moment his instinct was to....run

He ran towards the door and felt like the hall got longer and longer with wich step he took. He heard the knight and the king dashing past them. He managed to the to the door and get the key in before turning around and looking at the king to stop him. That wouldn't have stopped the knights but it could buy him some time. Without breaking eye contact he managed to twist the key and open the door.

He got out of there and was back in the forest.  The King dashing towards him only to be hit with the door.

"FUCK YEAH! TAKE THAT!" Alex said. Now. Try to find your friends. He began walking in the forest that had turns left and right like a maze. He walked some time before he heard something in the bushes. He took guard and slowly went to the bush...
