The tall grey walls were topped off with translucent skylights, from which a dull light shone. Traps were primed throughout, from the classic spike pit to more complex set-ups. A countdown started. "3, 2, 1, YOUR TIME STARTS NOW!"

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">The black panther who had at first been looking around at her surroundings dashed off towards a corridor to the left. She immediately took out a marker and put it to the left side of the wall, drawing a line on it to wherever she went as she ran.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Rock took his claw hammer off his belt and held it firmly. A chilling draught swepth through the narrow halls.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Asonja walked forward uncertainly, a look of aprehension on his face. Asonja groaned and rubbed his wrist. "This isnt going to go well..." Asonja says as Asonja dashes off into a few corridors.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">After a few minutes of only taking left turns, and drawing a line on the wall with a marker, Raven capped it. She then dashed off down the corridor again.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Asonja kept running, not knowing where to go. "I'm gonna be here forever..." Asonja muttered, this time taking a right.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Raven halted, looking behind her. She saw no one following her, so she continued on her way, this time walking. Although she knew no one was tracking her, she couldn't help but feeling a presence.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Asonja then turned a sharp corner, accidently bumping into Raven. Asonja bounced back and hit a wall. "ARGH! Owww...Im so sorry about that..."

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Raven staggered for a second. "Er, it's alright.. Don't go the way behind me.. Leads back to the beginning.." She muttered, rubbing her forehead for a second. Asonja nodded. "Okay. We'll be allies..."

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Asonja is now allied with Raven

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Then it's settled. Look, I've heard if you always go left you can get out of a maze. I'm experimenting it now.." She said, squinting forward. "But I can barely see any other turns.."

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Yeah...perhaps we should keep going forward, since we cant go back. I'll lead." Asonja gets up and runs forward.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Alright.." Raven quickly picked up her pace and followed him down the corridor.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">After about a minute of running, Asonja turns left. Asonja make a rather loud shoe-squeak when Asonja slid and went to the left.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Raven skidded for a second, and then turned left after him. "You know, I bet this just will go on forever.." She huffed as they ran.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Then suddenly, Asonja faceplants onto a wall infront of him, indicating a dead-end. Asonja collapses, scraping his face against the concrete wall. Asonja even make a noticable dent/crack in the wall.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Oh crap- Are you okay?!" She said, a bit startled as she rushed forwards to meet him.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Asonja didnt get up for a moment, but then yelled in pure agony as Asonja held his nose. "ARRRGH! OH GOD THAT WAS PAINFUL!" "Shh! Shut up, Asonja!"

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">She said, looking around wildly. "Something, or, someone will find us. Trust me, there's more then traps and puzzles in this maze, and I know it."

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Arrrgh...sorry...Im just in so much pain...Argh it's like that time I ran into a talking flower..." Asonja muttered the last part and got up. "I'll be more careful this time. We'll have to walk."

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Did you seriously make an Undertale reference there?" Raven said, an eyebrow raised. "Er, never mind. Let's just go back and take the right turn at the cross roads.."

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Hey it's what I do. Wait...holy crap I broke the 4th wall twice! That's like a 16th wall break!" Asonja says, gripping his head for a moment. Asonja coughed, going back to normal. "But yeah, lets go."

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">She nodded, and started to jog back towards the right turn. Once she got there, she quickly looked around, and took out another marker. Afterwards, she started running along the right turn corridor.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Asonja followed Raven, unsure of how and where she got the marker, but it was highly unimportant at the moment. Asonja just wanted to get back home.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Raven started drawing on the wall odd lines and symbols, muttering under her breath. "Right will be a dead end when we get the chance of a cross roads, but it won't be when it's the only way.. C'mon." She capped her marker and put it away, and then dashed off again.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">This time, Asonja followed Raven. Asonja was still covering his nose, a few blood drips here and there. Asonja looked at the symbols for a moment before following again.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Quickly, Raven turned right at the end of the corridor, and continued forward that way. She wasn't determined, but she WAS tactical.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Asonja followed, then noticed that his tail was fluffing up into a wolf tail. "Shit...not now..." Asonja muttered. Asonja hid his tail under his trench coat and continued following Raven.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Raven looked over her shoulder as they jogged. "Zikuto happening again?" She guessed.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Yeah. He's coming out pretty early. Usually Asonja decides to take over at like 9 PM." Asonja says, now fluffy years replacing his regular ones. "Dont worry, I'll be okay."

Well, it might be better to be a wolf right now. I bet you the temperature is going to drop as it gets more into the night.. Plus, dog ears can detect more then hedgehog's. Or I'm just out of my mind.. One of them is true, anyway.." She muttered, and continued until they arrived at another crossroads. Quickly, she turned a sharp left.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Asonja followed, slowly turning into Zikuto. His body turned fluffier as his chest was covered in dark grey fur. Asonja shook his head as Asonja finished the transformation. Of course, his German accent and a lower voice took over. "After the next right, take another left. We'll reach a break area." Zikuto says.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Alright.." She huffed, and continued until she found the next right's left. Immediately, she sank onto the floor, panting heavily.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Zikuto collapsed as well, but not near Raven for any embarrassing reason. "Heart pumping...lungs on fire...literally..." Asonja says before exhaling a massive flame for a minute. "Legs broken...nose literally broken...Asonja's an idiot nowadays..." Zikuto cursed in German.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Hey, I'm an idiot for not slicing the hosts head off with my katana when they captured us.

I was just thinking Axel would yell the whole time and demand whoever made this come and battle him. Then he'd either tear the whole place up, or be in the hospital for two weeks." Raven said, looking upwards.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Somewhere out there, I can hear someone yelling in pure anger and an audience laughing their heads off..." Zikuto mutters. "But yes, that sounds a lot like him. TOO much like him."

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Es ist in Ordnung, ich nehme an..." Zikuto replied. Perfectly in German. "And by the way, you need to be a bit more aggressive. It sounds too passive."

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Meins war beschissen..." She said, this time taking his advice and trying to sound aggressive. It was better, but it wasn't great since She was tired and was almost asleep.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Dont get so down in the dumps, Raven." Zikuto said, sitting next to her now. "Take a break and we can take back off when it's time to go, okay? I dont like seeing you so depressed. Asonja is a different story that I can deal with. He's always blabbering to me about how nice you were to him after all those years your trained him and protected him when Asonja couldnt do it himself. Asonja never got to say thank you."

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Sagen Sie Asonja ich sagte Dank, dann..." And with that, Raven closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"I vill. You can count on me." Zikuto says. However when Zikuto says "Will", it turns into "Vill"

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Her ear flicked in response when Zikuto patted her head, but it was nothing but a reflex.

She jumped a bit when she saw his tail on her, but it wore off quickly. Immediately she took out her marker and started to draw lines again, trying to find a new path to exit the maze.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Zikuto was still asleep. His ear twitched him back when Zikuto heard the marker. Zikuto wakes up and follows the line, tiredly.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Raven stopped and started drawing the path so far on the wall. "Right, Right, Left, forward for awhile.. Left, Right...." She muttered.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Zikuto finally caught up to her. "Hey there Raven...argh...I see you've made some progress..."

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Uh huh.."

Now we have to go a left, and then anot her left, and then forward for quite a long time." Raven said, looking at her drawing and then at her hand.

Raven said as she sprinted off down the corridor Zikuto dashed off, already behind her.

"Zere! Take zis left!"

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Zikuto followed, not loosing any speed. "Next vite up ahead correct?" Zikuto asked.

Zikuto had a lot more stamina than Asonja could dream of having.

She was already slowing down a small bit, since she wasn't built for endurance.

Raven slid to the right at the turn, and kept her pace. "This maze will go on forever.." She murmured.

Zikuto was slowly turning back into Asonja as Asonja tripped from the speed and collapsed.

"Er, are you okay?" She asked worriedly.

"Oh hey, people!" She noted excitedly through an English-Indian accent. "Wait..." She peered a bit. "Wait don't I know you from somewhere?" <--

Komerl then, with a surprised look on his face, sees a light blue female hedgecat running besides him at the same speed he was. "Who is she?" Komerl thought to himself as Komerl kept on running using his instincts to guide.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">The female hedgecat only blushed at the sight of Komerl and smile mischievously. "So I guess I got to meet him sooner than I thought, eh? Okay, let's see how fast he really is." She then accelerated with a burst of speed. "Bet you can't keep up!" she taunted as she ran past him.

"A race huh? Well, bring it on!" Komerl says as she also accelerated with a burst of speed. "Okay, then you want a race, you've got one!" Komerl says excitedly as they both ran side by side.

Being a hedgewolf mix does have its ups and downs. "Huh...that sounded like Komerl and someone else. They dont seem far from here." Asonja muttered to himself. Asonja kept following Raven, starting to slow down. Asonja wasnt fast to begin with.

I'm just becoming another one of those idiot girls who speak their mind too often." She growled, and started to speed up, so she was almost out of sight from Asonja.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Asonja notices and tries to catch up. "W-wait hold on! Dont leave me alone here!" Asonja held out his hand to her, but panted loudly to a stop. Asonja collapsed onto a wall, blacking out from exhaustion.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Raven looked behind her at him and stopped. She sighed. Immediately, she took off her belt and threw at him, even though Asonja was blacked out. It had her sketch of the maze and some other tools. "You don't need a Jinx to slow you down.." She muttered, and ran off without him.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Moments later, Asonja woke up and noticed the tools. Asonja looked at the belt and then looked around. "R-raven?" Asonja says, looking around. Asonja got a bit more worried and ran in random directions, getting himself lost. "R-raven?! Raven where'd you go?!" Asonja shouts and goes back to where Asonja was and banged his head on a wall. "N-no! Calm down...calm...down..." Asonja told himself, almost loosing his mind. "Just...go to where she wants you to go..." Asonja told himself again and followed the map on her belt Asonja started talking to himself, his head twitching sometimes. Asonja felt insecure and claustrophobic as his grip with Raven's belt was really tight.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Raven was treading softly as she ran to a left. She couldn't help but feeling guilty, but she shook it off eventually and kept running.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">The more Asonja looked around, the walls were closing in on him. The atmosphere was getting darker until Asonja couldnt see. Asonja stomped his foot once and it went back to normal. His face looked paler, and his head twitched more. "You'll be okay Asonja...yeah...your parents are waiting..." Asonja muttered quickly and over again.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Glauben!" Ravens shouted in German from far away.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Asonja hears this and Zikuto translated in his head, as what Asonja does when Asonja hears German. Asonja stopped and looked at Raven's belt-map and narrowed his eyes. Asonja then starts running ahead, following the map with little feeling of insecurity still left.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">The walls were still closing in on him, making him shut his eyes for a moment before hitting a wall, making them back up again. After his heartrate went back down, Asonja moved forward.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Raven stopped and panted, looking around. Luckily, she had the map memorized. Unluckily, it was fading quickly. She darted off to the right at a cross roads and continued on jogging.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Asonja felt more twitching as Asonja kept going. Asonja kept it in control, as it twitched occasionally. "She said you can do it..." Zikuto said in his head as Asonja had a sudden flashback from when Asonja was in the lab when the two first met. "Though we may be separate species, different beings, let our souls be one; A bigger and stronger soul." Asonja blinked back into reality and started to pick up speed, narrowing his eyes.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Raven looked around, the map fading entirely from her mind. She took a left, thinking it was the right way. (Heh, right way, heh,.. Kill me.)

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">(If you keep that up, you'll soon become a SANS-ation.) After a few moments of bumping into walls left and right, Asonja finally heard Raven's running footsteps. He picked up the pace even more but took a wrong turn and hit the wall with the back of his head, cutting it open a bit. He groaned loudly in pain, but continued to run in the right direction after Raven.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Raven grinned. "Aye, good job." She said, and continued to a right turn.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Soon, Asonja caught up with Raven, looking a bit pale but looking more relaxed. Asonja was actually keeping up with her. "Never felt better after getting a bit of help. Now lets get out of this hellhole!" Asonja says, actually encouraged to keep going, even after a serious head injury.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"That's the spirit, Asonja!" She said, smiling. Quickly, she turned another left once the corridor came to a cross roads.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Asonja followed next to her. Asonja couldn't stop laughing from how fast he's going, and knowing that they were very close to the end. "We'll be out of here in no time if we keep this up! I cant wait to get out!"

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"I agree, I can't wait! But when we do get there, I'm pushing you out first to win. Got it?" Raven said, panting, but not heavily.

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"No, you've done that to me plenty of time. I think it's about time you deserve a break." Asonja said with a smirk. I'LL push you out."

<span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">"Oh, you are SO on." She said, grinning. <span class="EOP SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;line-height:19px;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

Asonja smirked and kept that in mind as he continued to run forward with Raven by his side. "Lets just focus on getting the right way first."

"Might as well, or we'll just start back in the beginning all over again." Raven said, nodding.

"Please dont let that happen..." He muttered. Suddenly when he looked ahead of him, he saw a creepy figure, yelped and stopped. "I-i'M not going any further..."

Raven stopped and glanced at him. "Why? What's wrong?" She asked, her tail swaying.

"There's a creepy guy in front of me!" He shivered and looked away. To Raven, there was nothing.

"I don't see anything, but.." She stepped forward as if she was a shield.

He pulled her back. "N-no dont get near it!" She noticed his eyes were pretty small, and darting at the same place. Either a sign of Schizophrenia or something mentally.

The short lynx unsheathed her claws, taking a swipe at the wall to test the durability.

Asonja shook his head quickly, noticing the figure is gone now. "Huh...where'd it go...?"

Raven almost thought she heard the lynx. But from this far away, it was impossible to. "So, it's gone. Now what? Break, or should we keep moving?"

"Lets keep moving..." He says, but then goes in front of Raven. "I'm gonna lead this time. Just tell me which direction to take." He says as he makes his way forward at regular walking speed.

(Do I just make up how durable the walls are? ~Trisell)

(Sure, I suppose. I didnt make this rp x3)

"Alright.. Well, the next turn is a left." Raven replied, slowing down to a walking pace, too.

Meanwhile, Komerl and the mysterious stranger continued their race.

"Heh heh! This is fun I haven't had in a while!" Komerl says with an excited chirp while the two accelerated even faster, cutting sharp corners, and avoiding traps.

"Same here! I mean, do you know how many boys I've raced? They weren't very fun at all!" the mysterious stranger said in agreement while trying to hold in a giggle as she take off her hood.

"Wait, you're a girl?!" Komerl exclaimed in excitement and shock.

"Yeah! You got a problem with that?" the hedgecat asked in fake offense with a sly smile on her face.

"No, not really! This just makes this even more fun!" Komerl said with a 'happy without a cause' smile on his face.

"Same here! Seriously, we have so much in common!!" the hedgecat exclaimed as she squealed in excitement as the two came to a walk. "Hey, let's team up for awhile and then we'll see who's faster!" Komerl suggested with a competitive smile on his face. "Agreed!" they said as they fist pumped.

Komerl <span class="TextRun SCX254827277" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:windowtext;font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX254827277" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">is now allied with ???!

Asonja continued to walk, feeling insecure again. This time, Raven started to notice Asonja's new issue after the head injury as his head was twitching the more he felt unsafe. "I have to get out of here...I want to go home..." He was muttering.

The midget-lynx could easily hear the yelling and conversation between Komerl and his new ally. She started scaling the wall to get a better view of where they might be.

Asonja clenched onto his trench coat, the walls closing in on him again as he was slowly starting to hyperventilate. "I want to get out of here...this place is gonna kill me..."

"Asonja, calm down. We're near the end, I feel it." She murmured, squinting her eyes forward as they walked. "Maybe just another hour or so and we'll be back on Nimagi.."

He closed his eyes for a moment before opening them back up again. The walls were back to normal. "Okay...I believe you..." He says before continuing.

The midget-lynx sat atop a wall, glancing about before dashing toward the nearest talking.
