BlossomFest Great Maze -Expecto-to-winno PV

Isabella wasn't sure about the other two, but she felt like she was ready. She had already learnt quite a few spells that could come useful in the maze. She smiled as she thought about the goat that had been released in the maze. How hard could it be to catch a goat? It might even wander straight to them if their lucky.

She looked up at the hedge. It was almost double her height. She turned around and smiled at the other two.

"Well? What are we waiting for? We're not going to catch the goat by standing here, at the edge of the maze." She said cheerfully. The trio moved cautiously towards the entrance of the maze. When they reached the entrance Isabella saw that there were three ways they could go - west, east and northwest. She turned around to face the other two.

"East?" She suggested. The other two nodded in agreement. The three of them continued forward, following the east path.

ACTION: Go East

As your team takes the path to the East, you become more and more engulfed by the maze. The hedges grow taller, taller than you are, and the light seems to fade slightly as the sun passes over top of your heads. The further in you go, the more you wonder when you will be getting out, even though it had only just begun. The ground was beginning to turn from beautifully taken care of grass to rough dirt and stones that scattered randomly across the ground. Not the best to walk on but still tolerable. Halfway to the next fork in the maze, an animal darts out in front of your group from underneath the hedge to your right, causing a slight panic. It was black and white to the eye and about knee-height, but not much else could be told about the appearance, or the type of animal it could have been. Perhaps it was an animal that escaped Professor Lear’s classroom, or maybe it was an animal straying away from the Forbidden Forest, trying to find its way out of the maze itself? You won’t find out. Soon enough, you come to the next turning point, giving you three options to choose from.

Choose between North, South or turning back. Remember that teams can not split up.

As the girls all trudged east the path seemed to get darker. It was darker than Aravis would have liked.  She tripped over a rock and yelped rather loudly. The ground was unkempt and seemed unorganized, maybe that was just supposed to be part of the maze obstacles. Suddenly a black and white animal darted out in front of the group. Aravis couldn't tell what it was. "Maybe it was the goat?" She said more to herself than the team. She didn't get a good enough look at it so she decided it would be best to avoid going after it, it could be dangerous. 

There was a path to the North and another towards the South. They could always head back but Aravis figured the rough path was a sign for the best, her father always taught her that the rough narrow path in life wasn't ever easy but always had good rewards. She turned towards her team. "Shall we go North?" She asked them raising an eyebrow. The two didn't seem to mind, and so the three of them all headed up the Northern Path.

Action: Travel north.

One step after another, your team is heading deeper into the maze. Taking in the green hedges and breezy wind, the hedges seem to begin to bloom more and more with flowers and buds. The hedges become prettier the further you venture towards the east path of the maze. Strange. Perhaps it is the right way to go as increased growth is happening towards the direction. As you walk further and further down the path, you realize that not only are there more flowers, but there are many more bumblebees. Luckily, they were cast not to attack and only be idle among their flowers. You keep going, past the bumblebees and towards what finally seemed like a dead end of the maze. Oh no! Your team turns around and you now walk past the flowers and bumblebees and decide on a new path.

You must choose South or return to entrance now. Teams cannot split up.
