You head straight, thinking that it will take you directly to the castle. But, before long, you find yourself at the foot of a large mountain. The maze, the castle, and everything else you've seen so far cannot be seen from here. You look around, not bothering to hide the shock on your face.
"Hehehe," says a loud voice about you. There is a wooshing of wings and a clattering of feet, and before you stands a purple winged feline. "I am Gorauman. Welcome to the Forgotten Lands, dear wanderor."
He seems to be enjoying himself. You ask, "Where did the maze go?"
"Oh that old thing?" he says, as if it were nothing. "Well, you see, this part of the Forgotten Lands spans out around the castle. You've been transported here magically, of course. There are some interesting things about here, if you're interested in having a look, that is. I'm afraid, though, that you won't be able to get back to the maze directly from here. Sorry about that."
By the look on his face, however, you can see that he is anything but sorry about your predicament. He points his nose down the pathway, which you didn't notice before. "Follow that, and you might wander into someone who'll be able to point you back."
With another whoosh, he is gone.
