The Maze

Faythra

        Way out in space, there's a planet called Faythra. Faythra is a mythical, mystical, and magical planet. (The three M's). Faythra is different than other planets. Diferent people, different places, different customs, and different rituals. Inside of Faythra there are many different continents, like Jalhi, which holds the country of Shawlin. In the country of Shawlin is the state of Mosslinn. Inside of Mosslinn is the city of Lavinna. And on the edge of Lavinna lies the town of Osmara.
        Residents of Shawlin, elves and magical humans, go to magic schools, and live an everyday, "normal" life. Faythra's population consists of elves, humans, magical humans, dwarfs, fairies, wizards, and mages/ sorcerers. They all live in different continents and countries, banned from going to the other lands, for fear of going into a war like the one many, many centuries ago. But that story's for another time.
        Getting back on track here, they all have different rituals, and in the heart of Lavinna lies a gigantic maze, that on the first day of every new year, they hold a meeting with the whole country of Shawlin in front of the maze, (Lavinna's a huge state, taking up about one to two thirds of the entire country.), and five random people get drawn to venture into the maze. They have two hours to prep, and say goodbye to friends and family.
        Now, this maze is not your typical maze. No. It's way worse. While you try to find your way through the maze, you encounter various trails and tests, were you could get hit by a trap, an illusion, or a surprise attack from one of the various beasts and monsters living among the maze.
        And, oh yeah! There's a time limit! Yay... ( That was a sarcastic yay. ) You have from January first to November first. If you don't get out by the end of the day on November first - Death. It's as simple as that. Now, it might seem like a long time limit, but remember, this maze is ginormous, like, super  huge. So,it's actually not a very long time. The key to "sucess" is not to panic and stay calm. And don't die. Although that's very, very hard to do.
        And today in the city of Lavinna, it's January first. And you know what that means! Five more unlucky souls will go into the maze. But may never come out...
