After pressing forward through the twisting corridors of the Dark Maze for a full ten minutes, Caelan and Audrey suddenly came across several branching paths.
The dark, oppressive atmosphere of the Instance seemed to deepen as these new pathways spread out before them, each one radiating a faint, sinister energy that made the hairs on the back of Caelan's neck stand on end.
Instinctively, Caelan's gaze shifted toward Audrey, expecting her to make a choice. Yet, she remained calm and still, standing quietly as if waiting for something.
Caelan furrowed his brow but did not ask any questions.
He had learned long ago that patience often yielded better results than hasty actions.
He stayed silent, observing her carefully.
Meanwhile, Audrey's beautiful face lit up with a captivating, almost intoxicating smile.
Her eyes sparkled, conveying a mix of mischief and amusement.
