"We don't need riches. You're parents give us silver seeds every month," Devoss replied as he groomed his left paw.
Hayden shook her head and looked out her window before coming to a decision. "Fine, don't go. I'll just go by myself." With that Hayden grabbed her jacket and headed to the door of their dorm.
Just as she reached the door Devoss stopped grooming himself and sighed. "Wait up, wait up. I don't think you'd be able to get out of a maze by yourself. I'll come with you. But this means another bath when we get back."
Hayden smiled and nodded, happy that her plan had worked. Even if he liked to be clean Devoss couldn't pass up an opportunity for an adventure, especially if she was going to go with or without him.
The two of them neared the entrance and screaming could be heard. The gnomes made it, and it really didn't look all that scary, so Hayden wasn't really sure if those were even real screams. She looked down at Devoss and was about to say something when he started walking in. She shrugged and followed.
The whole thing was starting to get boring when all of a sudden the pair of them came to a crossroad. "Left or right?" Hayden asked. It was always so much easier to just let him make the choices.
"Right."
It seems like only the other year, students had to navigate the terrors of a maze. Or maybe it was just a year ago? Whatever the case, it wasn't talked about and no one seemed too traumatized by any maze tomfoolery, so with ignorance and silver seeds on the mind, it seemed a few groundskeeper gnomes had set up part of the school to be a temporary maze made of..well. Maize. Corn. Lots and lots of corn. It cost nothing to get in, and there was a promise of riches should any find the center with the Golden Ear. However, signs warn of various 'Spoopy traps' and 'much scare'. Given that the signs were also made in scented pens on colored poster board, it was hard to say if it would live up to what was promised.
Yet on occasion you do hear terrified screams and see a few students dashing backwards out of the maze. So perhaps there is room to hope this place can deliver a real fright. Just don't get too lost they warn... or else.
Eh, it was made by a bunch of gnomes. What is the worst that could happen?
You enter the maze and well, it's a bit underwhelming, yet quickly enough, you find yourself at the first crossroads. Do you go left, or right?
Right
