Jay doesn't argue and sprints away from the Hollow.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost."

The HOLLOW lauches itself at the MINOTAUR, screeching almost a battle cry and lashing it with its tongues. ORLANDO grimaces and attempts to shove everyone out of the way.

Spoiler
Oops, forgot a description. A 26- year old young woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. Looks delicate, but really is not. She is well built and looks almost like a typical p-r-o word. A spy.

"No need fer t'e pushin'," Jay protests. "We're goin'! I ain't wantin' nothin' t' do with them things!"

"Well, we're kind of surrounded," ORLANDO snaps. "By a MINOTAUR and a HOLLOW. Both extremely dangerous creatures. Did you live under a rock or something?"

THE HOLLOW whips the MINOTAUR in the back.

"You got me at surrounded and lost me at Hollow," she answers and flicks out her rapier. "So which way are we runnin'? 'cause I'm thinkin' that just might be the best choice right 'bout now." As she speaks, a doorway opens in one of the walls.

"Well, t'at answers me question." She darts for the threshold.

ORLANDO darts after her. "That's cool, I've got to admit. How did I even get here anyways? I just walked through the door and there was the HOLLOW on the other side." ORLANDO sighs. "You probably don't like me, do you?"

"Maybe it's a place for the damned," suggests ORLANDO. She avoids the question.

"Then I suppose we'll be gettin' along." She grins and slips around a corner.

ORLANDO feels bad she lied, but follows JAY anyways.

"No, but I guess if we always go left, we probably could. Mark the walls, too," ORLANDO suggests.

"I don' think that'll be helpin'. I mean, if doors just randomly appear, I'm doubtin' this is a normal maze. Probably shiftin'."

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.
