Near the entrance to the outer maze/Labyrinth entrance - Dusk

Eva nearly choked when she saw the view before her. A massive maze, and in the middle was a castle, sitting there like a prize for beating the maze, and behind her was a sort of forest. Her heart was pounding in her ears now, and she nearly turned back. But the beauty of where she landed kept her in place, and also the mental shock of stepping through a mirror. It seemed like one of her fantasy books she had loved as a child. She pulled her hair into a messy bun, with too many strands of hair falling around her face for her liking. But she did nothing about it, she was a bit distracted at the moment.

Eva slowly turned in a circle, admiring the views. Despite the beauty, and even if some places looked beat up it was still beautiful to her, the place had a heavy feeling of dread. Taking a deep breath, she took one step forward. The time, pratically dusk, was a bit unnerving. She didn't exactly love the idea of being out in the open during the night. But she didn't want to go into the forest either...so she would brave the open. Maybe she could find a place to hide or rest near the wall.

“Beautiful place. Wonder who lives here. Flesh eating cannibals perhaps?” Eva muttered sarcastically to herself, and sat down on a nearby rock. If anyone did live here, she was nearly certain they would have been alerted to her arrival. ‘Why have doors if they don’t carry a sort of doorbell? Or alarm system.’ Eva smirked at her own little saying, and then got slightly worried again. So, she stood up and debated for a moment where to walk...the forest or the maze like place? She guessed the maze would be ‘easier’. People couldn’t sneak up on her as easily out in the open, right? Eva started to take a few steps forwards.

She didn't want to go back, not right away. Her curiosty always got the better of her and this time was no different. Eva just hoped she hadn't pissed anyone off by coming here, and grimaced at the thought that she did.
