He had not intended to come hunting today.
The Tidebreaker had stepped through a portal of moonlight into the Hollowed Grounds bearing gifts in the satchel at his side. But the old woman who he had approached for directions to the Dusklight had been bemoaning to her neighbor about the lack of efas herb lately. Apparently a pair of Void Tangleweeds had rolled into the Labyrinth and become trapped in it... and now preyed upon anyone who went to gather the herb.
So Hadama had asked for directions to the Labyrinth instead and stood now outside its entrance, contemplating the great hedgemaze with a thoughtful, measuring gaze. It looked wilder than the Queen's Gambit, with fewer roses and more thorns. A Leafchange mist crept along the ground from the entrance in spite of the early afternoon hour, as if the Labyrinth was exhaling it. Alive and breathing in its own right.
From the rumors of the place, perhaps it was.
With a respectful tilt of his head to the hedges, Hadama strode to the mouth of the maze and stepped inside.
