Lair of the Unidragon, Page Twenty-One
The left-hand route is extremely dull, nothing but flat grass as far as the eye can see. The only even vaguely interesting thing is a large black rock off to one side. It is unlikely you'll find anything here, but you keep going, just in case.
Another black rock. And, after a while, another...they're all the same rock! What the...You haven't changed direction once!
As you realise this, you step straight into an invisible hole. You fall and fall, and your last thought before you blank out is, "Boy, is this a weird island!"
You awaken to the sound of footsteps coming your way. Groggy, you pull yourself to your feet using the dirt wall of the tunnel for support, and unsheathe your sword to be ready.
The footsteps get closer and closer, until it sounds like they're right on top of you, then--
--stop.
Nothing. No crash, no screams. You can't even hear any breathing. You creep slowly down to the opening of the tunnel in the direction that the footsteps were coming from, and peer out.
Nothing. All up and down the intersecting tunnel is nothing but dimly-lit dirt walls, floor, and ceiling. You take a step out into the other tunnel to be sure. Still nothing.
Unnerved, you turn to go back the way you came, thinking maybe you could climb back out of the hole--and discover a closed door. That wasn't there before, you think. You try it. It's locked.
You're getting rather ticked off. You never liked magic very much to begin with, and this is getting to be a little ridiculous. Okay, you think. They want me to use the other tunnel, I'll use the other tunnel. You turn around again and where it was only ONE tunnel, now it's two; one to the left, one to the right. As long as I'm in here, I'm NEVER going to turn my head or close my eyes again, you resolve.
Just then, a loud, evil chuckle from nowhere makes you jump nearly out of your skin. "SHUT UP!" you snap into the gloom, then decide which way to go.
