The Lost Heir

Chapter 10 The Labyrinth (Percival)

Percival is traversing through the dimly lit corridor of the labyrinth. He comes to a split off and reads the riddle on the wall. "I scare you but I am not real. I can only affect you when you're asleep. I cause terror throughout the night. What am I?" Percival thought about the riddle. "That could be anything." Percival thought to himself. "Well lets give this a try." Thought Percival. "You are a nightmare." Said Percival. "Correct!" Said a recording of T-card as the left corridor's floor lit up in red. "Im rolling out the red carpet of light for you... prince Percival of "pyro" said T-card playfully over the speaker. "How did you..." Percival gets cut off by T-card.

"I know your past its all in my cards..." said T-card mysteriously as he shut off the speaker. Percival walked forward in the red lit left corridor. He came to another split off but there was no riddle. "What the hell?! How am I supposed to answer a riddle and progress if there is no riddle?!" Said Percival angrily. Then he heard Julies blood curdling scream. "JULIE!" exclaimed Percival. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HER CARD BOY?!" yelled an angry Percival. "Oh no I took it too far again!" Sighed T-card. "ANSWER ME!" Percival demanded. Then percival heard someone mumbling in the right corridor. "JULIE IS THAT YOU?!" Exclaimed Percival as he rushed down the right corridor only to find a man holding a staff and mumbling to himself as he walked along the cold stone floor on bare feet.

"Who are you?" Said Percival. The man looked at Percival in terror and began to run "Get away!" Percival began pursuing him. "HEY STOP!" Shouted Percival to the man. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" The man shouted in fear as he turned a corner. Percival followed him. "NO A DEAD END!" Said the man as he frantically looked for a way out. Percival caught up with him. "What the hell is up with you?! Exclaimed Percival."Wait the crest on those swords... YOU ARE PERCIVAL!" Exclaimed the man with happiness. "Who are you and how do you know my name?" Said Percival. "I am Samuel a cleric from pyro." Said the man. Percival examined the Samuel closely and saw that he wore a red priest like robe with the crest of pyro sewn with gold thread on the sleeves. "There is no doubt he's from pyro" Percival thought to himself. The lights suddenly went from dim to bright. "Tell me Samuel how did you get trapped here?" Asked Percival in a calm tone. "Its a long story." Said Samuel. "Lets get moving then. You can tell me as we go along." Said Percival as he turned to start moving. "Alright." Said Samuel as they both began their trek through the labyrinth.
