As they walk, Amias begins to speak in a low voice that somehow manages to cut through the noise of Heidi's inner turmoil.
"First thing you need to know is that the labyrinth is not a dark forest filled with demons like you must have thought."
Heidi's head snaps up. She had, in fact, thought that. She had thought of it as a monstrous, horrifying place filled with every kind of beast from her nightmares. The very name—the Labyrinth; conjured images of grotesque creatures and unimaginable horrors. She had been terrified of it.
"What… what is it then?"
Amias glances at her with a wry, and almost sad smile on his face. "It's a place of immense power and immense sorrow. It's not just a prison for demons. It was once the fairies' realm. Their home."
