Chapter 22

((WARNING: The chapter contains sibling stuff- READ AT YOUR OWN RISK))

*Narrator's POV*

Guinevere was walking through the maze and the heroes and heroines saw and heard from the tainted glass of the mirrors in the room that they were currently in, Guinevere was struggling to find the exit as they heard her groaned in frustration and saw that she took a sharp right turn then after a while took a left turn until they all saw that she was now face to face with another creature they weren't familiar with.

"Hello Guinevere." The creature greeted while Guinevere returned the gesture as she waved and said a small 'hello' to them. The creature then showed her two doors, one on the right and one on the left.

Meanwhile, back at the room where the heroes and heroines were. They would now know all too well about what's about to happen while they saw Guinevere stared at the two empty doors, looking confused and with a questionable expression on her face.

"As you have already noticed, there are two doors; each of them containing something that you wanted and the way out of the maze. Many of your friends have already succeeded but it's now up to you whether you shall meet them or not." The creature wisely said while Guinevere now understood, immediately asked nicely what lies on each of the door presented in front of her.

"On my right side, you would see you and your brother living the life you both always wanted as your parents would support you in any way they can. You two would go on daring adventures, meet someone new as you travel and both of your futures would be like living in a fairytale where there is a happily ever after." The creature said as both Guinevere, who was unknowingly taking the test, and the heroes and heroines, through the tainted glass of the mirrors, saw the right door glimmered what could possibly be the future of both Guinevere and Lancelot.

They saw the Baroque siblings happily travelling together, fighting monsters, going from village to town to city just to explore more of the Land they live in and they saw that Guinevere was holding what seemed to be a child as Lancelot was smiling proudly and holding a bottle of milk while Odette was holding another child in her arms.

"Is that.....could we be...." Lancelot said speechless at what the mirror had presented to his young sister and because of the mirrors- he too can see it and he was not expecting their future to be so happy and carefree.

"However." They all heard the creature then talk and suddenly the door on their left began to shimmer as well, only this time- it was pitch black darkness. Both the heroes and heroines as well as Guinevere wonder why is the left door just a black void as they heard Guinevere asked what was going through their thought as the creature in the middle then explained out loud.

"The door on the left is darkness. No adventure, no carefree living. No freedom. Both of these doors represent something than meets the eye and you, my dear, must choose between these two doors on which you shall take. If you cross the door to my right, then all of what you would see would come true and that will be indeed you and your brother's future. If you choose the door on your left, you would give up everything that makes you your own self and would follow all the orders, duties and responsibilities a royal must have ever since the day that he/she was born. You would become the girl that your parents wanted you to be before." The creature said with seriousness in the tone of their voice.

Guinevere didn't hesitate to answer the door on their right and was about to enter it when she felt something was off. She then stopped midway and then take a few steps back while still looking at the images flashing before her on the door she would have chosen. She then looked at the creature as her expression changed from confident to worried and somewhat not sure if this door was the right answer.
