The Labyrinth

For as long as you can remember you have wanted to pass The Initiation.

To do so would mean the struggle to survive would become a thing of the past ... no more scrabbling over the leavings of the nobles, no more humiliation of being the illegitimate child of Lord Zyfodd's arrogant and heartless heir, Balzier, no more ... a whole lot of things!

You have visions of becoming the most powerful member of the elite class known as The Leviathan, and passing The Initiation will be your first step towards making visions become reality.

You have spent weeks petitioning for selection outside the grand House of Leviathan ... suffering the heat, the rain, the taunts from passers-by ... all without wavering! And finally, it paid off - for the past three days you have enjoyed good food, fine clothes and a decent place to sleep.

But today, things changed ... before dawn you were abruptly woken from a sound sleep and bundled up like a sack of groundnuts - bound, blindfolded, gagged and dumped into a cold, dank room ... your first job, Player, is to free your hands and remove the blindfold.
