What: Investigating the Labyrinth Entrance
When: Early Evening
Where: Entrance to the Labyrinth
Rating: TBA
Status: Complete

A complete change in the environment of a city she'd been slowly getting used to was not a welcome sight upon waking that morning. It was perhaps this change, however, that gave her the determination to challenge the labyrinth. She was unwilling to be a pawn in the changing landscape any longer. She put on her leathers and armor and completely outfitted herself with her weapons before she left the room she shared with Gabrielle.

She stared around her once she got outside, a little bit awed by the huge contraptions that rose into the stifling sky. She shook her head, setting her jaw as she ventured forth. Although she didn't participate in any of the attractions, she did spend several hours wandering around and getting to know her new surroundings. She wouldn't know them as well as she had known the environment of the faire for a few more days, but she wanted to have some familiarity under her belt.

Finally after several hours of exploring by herself, eating and observing, she decided to check out the entrance to the labyrinth. She wouldn't leave without Gabrielle, but she wanted to see what she could discover. She wanted to be as prepared as possible before they went in. She'd read in the bothersome journal that one of the people, a Faith, had made it through to the castle. She was certain that if someone else could do it, she could do it herself.

She soon found herself at the entrance to the labyrinth and ran her hands over the stone. She stepped in and looked left and right as there was a wall directly in front of her. The stone wall extended far down in either direction and she couldn't see a turn at either end. Well, there wouldn't be much exploring unless she actually walked into the labyrinth and she wasn't sure she should without Gabrielle in her company.

The blonde bard shook her head and smiled at her friend. "No way, I'm not changing my mind. Come on, let's take this place by storm!" Although, that might be a difficult thing to do, considering she couldn't even figure out how a long stone corridor counted as a labyrinth, anyway. Funny, it had looked like a maze from the outside, but now that she was inside, it seemed to be completely different.

Gabrielle really had no idea that she was so transparent. Of course, Xena knew her very well, but still, she'd have been surprised to know that her best friend could see what she was trying to hide. The truth was, it didn't really matter what she felt, how a part of her would like to stay here. That's why she hadn't mentioned it. She was not going to lose Xena again, and had trouble seeing her friend willingly staying here. Obviously, that meant that Gabrielle wouldn't be, either.

She turned to her best friend and shook her head at the comment. "No way. I'm not going to stay here without you. You should know that. Where you go, I go." She tripped over a branch in the path, stumbled over it, and leaned against the wall to recover. Or, at least, that was her intention. The wall didn't quite seem to want to cooperate.

To Xena, it would look like Gabrielle had fallen through the wall, and then, there was no wall at all. Or rather, there was, but it had moved several feet back. Gabrielle stood in a new corridor. "Xena!" But she didn't sound worried or upset, rather delighted. "You won't believe this. Come here!"
