I had started taking acting classes recently and I decided to take a slight detour before heading over this morning. I didn’t expect to see two other people there when I walked down the steps to the labyrinth*.

Our greeting was quickly interrupted by a guardian that had caught sight of us. “Oh shit, let’s talk later”, I said as I broke out into a sprint. We spent a good ten minutes darting from pillar to pillar in an attempt to throw it off our tracks to no avail.

With my never ending change of locations, I had accidentally brought its attention to the hiding spot of one of my friends, leading to his death. “I’m going to try to kill it” I announced, drawing a sword and running after it.

The guardian was now about the height of a person and resembled a human torso attached to a single wheel. It tauntingly said “shoot” in a soft voice every time I swung my weapon and missed. As it was backpedaling, it was weakly releasing arrows from its bow, as if the slow moving projectiles were enough to seriously injure me. When I had finally caught up to it at the front desk, it stopped moving and let its limbs down in resignation, submitting to its demise.
