Another Choice

The candy floss starts like a dusting of snow. Each flake of it floats lazily down and each flake is drastically different from the last. In some places the sugar changes from pink, to white, to licorice. Other times the flakes of sugar seem to stop falling and it seems as if this path has led to nowhere at all. 

The path turns a corner and soon the flurry of sugar is a blizzard. There is nothing but sugar floss flakes and air that seems more and more precious as the storm of confectionery sugar continues. It piles into great mounds on the ground and soon everything is sticky where water from the outside world has leaked through the walls of this strange maze. 

It seems as if this path might become a pit of quick-sand like sugar. 

Walking though the drifts of sugar will certainly be no easy take for in some place they are shoulder height and the ceiling seems so very low. Perhaps a sweet tooth isn't all it was meant to be?

Only when the path starts to slope downwards does the blizzard abate back to flurries of spindled sugar. When the air finally clears and all the sugar settles there are two directions left to go. 

The first path leads straight into the earth. It's not dark as a tunnel should be but lit strangely with insects that glow and pulse as they crawl in and out of the packed dirt walls. Precious stones jut out form the walls, as sharp and deadly as they are lovely. They shimmer like stars and constellations. It's easy to wonder how deep this tunnel might lead.  

The second pathway leads back up over one of the hills the maze has been built over. Stairs have been cut into the dirt and they loop back and forth like ribbon candy. It seems strange that there are stairs at all, the slope is not that steep. But despite the low grade of the hill it is still impossible to see where that tangle of stairs might lead.

RULES

This part of the maze will break off into two choices. The first is a tunnel underground. The second path is  a pathway of stairs. Please pick one and post it at the end of your reply. Replies are due by 1/12

For this path I've send each participant 20 signos since it's still continuing.
