"It's very dim in here.." Ren complained while looking at our surrounding. I can agree to that though. This place doesn't just look abandoned but also hunted, completely dim but not entirely dark.

The library is an actual maze. There are many routes and ways inside it, going in every direction. Every corner of the building has old books, maps, and other antiques.

Despite the library being old and abandoned, creatures like lizards, mouses, ants, and other kinds of insects are living and can be seen inside it.

"This place really gives me chills.." Fabian said beside me while looking around the place with slight shuddering.

In actuality, I can't just feel the overbearing creepiness of the library, but I can also feel something powerful inside it, something that has an immense aura of magic.

We continued walking in a slow pace untill we reached six passage ways heading to different directions.

"That's a lot of options.." I told everyone while looking at the six different routes. "What do you think is the right way?" I continued then faced the other three who are inspecting the different passage ways.

"I think that wherever we choose to head will be the right way. Those passage ways, I think, have intersections, after all, this is a maze.." Ren replied.

Great point.

He really is bright minded.

But a coward.

"Ok, so... which way?" Fabian asked Ren.

"That way..." Ren immediately replied while pointing at the fourth passage way. He then made his way to the one he chose and we followed him without question.

This way is much dimmer than the previous ones we passed. It's like, we are in the abyss of the abyss, if that even makes sense.

"Can you make the fire light up more?" Sergio asked me, holding a torch we made beforehand.

"I can, but the fire would occur bigger.." I replied to him which he nodded in understanding.

"I think the fire's light is enough.." Fabian interfered.

"I agree.." I commented while looking at the front.

"Fine..." Sergio sighed then said nothing after that.

"Is that a bull?" Ren suddenly asked after a minute, making the four of us pause. I looked at the statue he pointed then examined it.

The bull statue looks so realistic. It looks like the statue is really a bull and not a cemented thing.

"It looks realistic... like someone preserved a bull's corpse then put it there.." I commented.

"We should continue..." Fabian instructed then pushed me to continue walking. I then groaned and rolled my eyes at him.

We continued walking untill we find the intersection of the six different ways. After the intersection, there are two more passage ways.. again, leading to nowhere.

"We should head to that way.." Ren instructed while pointing at the left one.

We immediately headed our way to the direction Ren chose then proceeded our course.

Where on this maze library is the necklace anyway?

Upon walking, we noticed something standing beside the wall. Upon closer look, we found out that the thing looks exactly like the bull statue we passed just a while ago.

"Wait, am I seeing something, or is that the same bull statue we passed just a while ago?" I asked everyone. We went near the statue then looked at it.

It really looks exactly the same as the statue before.
