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.

This maze was being a major pain, she decided, as she eyed the doors warily. The knockers were made up of hideous faces, one holding a ring to knock with in its mouth, the other through its ears. They were ugly, but it looked like the door was the only way out.

She approached cautiously, standing slightly behind Xena, watching from a position of relative safety. But when they started to talk, her eyes widened. Even as her dark-haired friend was pulling her sword free of its sheath, Gabrielle stepped forward. When it came to talking, well, that was definitely her forte.

"It's rude to stare." Informed one of the heads, the one without the ring in its mouth, obviously. Gabrielle smiled sweetly. "Oh, I'm sorry! We're trying to get through the Labyrinth, can you help us? Which door should we take?"

At first, the strange door knockers didn't want to respond, but soon even, Gabrielle had apparently charmed them into telling. The door on the left, apparently, led to the castle, while the door on the right led to certain death. With that settled, she moved to open the door on the left. It seemed she was going to take the faces at their word.
