  On the outskirts of Ryke, the wind blew with a calm cool, three people sat outside what in appearance seemed to be a limestone box as the sun dipped down into the horizon and the stars that dotted the sky as the world’s two moons settled into view, one green, the other pink. One figure paced back in forth in front of the strange structure. Black hair illuminated by the strange light as his brown eyes were closed, the human pondering something, perhaps his armor making a clanking and clanking noise as he moved about. The other two sat on a decently sized nearby rock. One was a girl with white hair and cold blue eyes. Mostly human in appearance, but she had Siberian Husky ears on top of her head with a tail in her paws. One could safely assume she was an [abomination] of sorts, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and pants. The other was a Fae, a male elf boy with pointy ears and blonde hair. Pale eyes flickered over the sheets of paper from the Ryken Adventurers guild as they sat there in wait. The Elf spoke up nervously.
  
  
  
  “When do you think those artisans will show up, Alexander? You’re an experienced adventurer…and from Ryke.”
  
  
  
  The human ‘Alexander’ answered blatantly.
  
  
  
  “Well, Marco, probably, if people accepted the job and lived in Ryke for not long. For all we know, most of the artisans could’ve looked at the paper and not batted a eye. And for all we know, in the same sentence, anyone interested could be like you and Solaris and not from Ryke at all.”
  
  
  
  Silence fell over the group before the abomination ‘Solaris’ asked
  
  
  
  “So…a maze full of puzzles and illness?”
  
  
  
  Alexander replied.
  
  
  
  “And bugs don’t forget the bugs, not the ones plaguing the See and Ryke…different kinds of bugs.”
  
  
  
  Marco let out a scoff.
  
  
  
  
  
  “Well, that’s just fun!”
  
  
  
  
  

 

[Alvareezy]

Strolling along, Albert casually observed the celestial wonders of this unfamiliar world, his gaze split between the captivating sky and the path ahead. The twin moons, one green and the other pink, cast an enchanting glow, guiding his way through the night.

Though not particularly thrilled about the adventurer guild's chosen meeting time, Albert didn't want to fuss over details when it came to selecting quests. After all, he had left his fate to chance, randomly picking this particular mission. It promised something different, a maze of puzzles instead of the usual monster-slaying or rescue missions. It felt like stepping into a game, but Albert knew better than to underestimate any challenge.

Approaching a trio of fellow adventurers, Albert greeted them with a casual wave. "Hey there, fellow adventurers, perhaps?" he inquired with curiosity. It was clear to him that they weren't out for a leisurely stroll at this hour. "The more, the merrier," he mused to himself, unfazed by the prospect of joining forces with strangers.

"I'm Albert, from Ryke. I'm here for the maze," he announced, producing the request from the adventurers guild and offering it for their inspection. "Are you guys here for the same thing?" The group before him seemed potentially diverse and colorful, potentially interesting companions for his first official party.

Hunter Asphalt

Each day had been normal for hunter asphalt. Get to work, work, pay the bills. It sucked but that was his life. As a child, he had imagined adults as monster slaying, dragon killing knights. Now he was just a nervous guy that struggled to pay his bills and wished for an adventure, even though he knew he would probably freeze in fear. For a while he was scared to go near the guild, let alone the bulletin board. A quest? What if there were monsters and he got his arm blown off by a dragon? Gosh no! He already had enough adventure here at work.


But sometimes his mind would wander off and he would dream. Dream of amazing adventures, Saving a princess, Slaying the dragon. And after a pay raise, the dream started to become more and more reachable.he could even afford a better hammer than that crappy old thing he had used for years! Hunter had stopped by the adventurers guild one day, taking a look at the board “A Maze? That seems easy enough to start with. Unless there are bugs.. Or monsters!” He shuddered and held his backpack. He should probably be getting to work now, but he told himself he’d look at it after work.

That had been a couple days ago. Now he was walking in the dark, hoping he would meet some strangers. He gripped his hammer tightly and felt his callouses rub against the handle. Finally he reached an area where the moon seemed to glow like a nightlight, yet make the area so much darker at the same time. The people seemed to loom over him in all directions. First impressios would be crucial. “U-Uh, i hope I’m not late.” He rubbed his arm a bit and turned around, recognizing only the fae’s pointy ears in the dimly lit situation.

Rowan Thorn
​

Rowan strolled through the night, her posture straight, with an ease of a tiger- the false easiness of it full of tension, not revealing the fact that if someone attacked her, she wouldn't roll over and take it, but would fight back. Rowan had answered the job offering, although she wasn't much of an artisan for one very specific reason- these jobs tended to have high pain rates, sometimes even becoming jobs that killed people. So she would let the others do their work, and she would make sure everyone got out alive.
That, and the fact that working gave money that could be exchanged for goods and services, which would allow her to maintain her current living situation.

The Fae, if reputation had proceeded her from the failed mission against the Eastern Empire, might know of her title as a See Inquisitor, which might change their opinion of her, considering she had been extremely helpful in keeping everyone alive during...all of that. Or not. Either way, she would join the other two, catching the person paying them saying they would be in a maze.

She didn't look twice at Solaris, but mainly because she didn't exactly care about her being an "abomination," which unless genetic experimentation had been done on her, seemed like a term that came from someone ignorant.

The thought of a maze made her sigh heavily, as these people made it sound so easy. Which it wouldn't be. She had a feeling it wouldn't be that easy. "Just go in and act as if there will be bugs and monsters behind every door. That's how we'll stay alive." Rowan replied, coming up to approach the group. "My name is Rowan." She would then introduce herself, before falling silent.

  As the sky drew to black, indicating the night had begun, the line centered on the limestone wall in front of the group began to flow a faint red color. Odd red, orange and yellow symbols began to glow on the left and eight sides of the line as the wall began to vibrate. The line would split, opening the maze to the adventurers. Alexander spoke up.
  
  
  
  "I am Alexander, a official member of the adventurers' guild. We will be exploring what has been called the Twilight Maze. It only opens up by nightfall and closes itself by day break. “
  
  
  
  He then gestured to Solaris and Marco.
  
  
  
  “Marco is a Fae from the Fae See. He’s here to investigate with us, as well as Solaris over there, who claims to be from The Duchy. She’ll be providing first aid.”
  
  
  
  Marco followed up by adding.
  
  
  
  “According to the Guild’s few records, this place has a number of puzzles and human-sized bugs. The issue comes in that other than that. The reports are vague. So warning that this is more or less something best suited for Artisans and fighters, in summary, best to get in and get out before Day break.”
  
  
  
  Solaris looks around saying.
  
  
  
  “We should probably wait a few minutes before in case others show up. If other people don’t, we don’t have the time to spare and will go on in but it would be a shame if we lost the extra aid. Welcome to everyone who has arrived so far."

Maxwell

And Solaris wouldn't be very far off the mark with her assumption as a certain draconian was running late to what was supposed to be the meetup time that the guild put out. This was supposed to be his first quest in quite a while and he'd be damned that he made a bad first impression on the people that he would be entrusting his life onto and vice versa as he rushed onto the scene and luckily for him it seemed that the group that was taking on the quest hadn't departed yet.

"Apologies for the delay, I got held up by a couple things here and there but I'm here at last! My name is Maxwell and its nice to meet all of you for today's quest! From my understanding it should be a simple trip through a maze while cutting through any monsters that get in our way. I guess there are supposed to be some puzzles too that we're supposed to solve but I doubt they'll be as dangerous as anything else within the maze."

He would declare with confidence despite his tardiness as he casted a quick gaze over his group of future companions for this quest. They seemed decently competent in his eyes at least so there wasn't much of a needed to get overbearing about their safety when they probably had that figured out already. Still though he wasn't one to slack off on looking out for his companions for as long as they fought by his side while sharing the same goals at the end of the day.

Hunter Asphalt

He squeaked as the wall opened and he jumped. His face turned a hot red and he prayed that they weren’t looking at him. It was always a bit nice to meet another fae, though he didn‘t know much about the see so most conversations were abrupt. “H-Hi. Im hunter and i don’t really like crowds. Or bugs. or most things really” His voiced went to a small mumble at the last sentence. He was a grown man, He shouldn’t be this afraid for Zeus’s sake! And yet he felt his legs betray him and shake, his voice shake and stutter at every sentence. He didn’t know why he was afraid. He hated this feeling of Powerlessness. Of being so weak and unable to do anything. He looked down at the ground in a pitiful attempt not to embarrass himself any further.
