The Shaman Has Appeared!
A single click, and the entire chain shatters, releasing the fish back into the pond. Its silver scales shine brilliantly, illuminating the water in a flash of light that vanishes as quickly as it came. The fish rubs against your fetlocks, much like a kitten. ’I thank you. Now, as promised, what you seek is here.’ A cough sounds from behind you, followed by his voice as you turn to face the intruder.
“So, you’ve made it to the center of the maze,” the Shaman says in his lilting voice, pacing around the clearing. “You even seem to have made a friend of sorts. Now all you have left is to answer my riddle. Get it right, and what once was lost may again be found—get it wrong, and I will leave you here to face the Maze once again, without my guidance.
Answer me this:
“This thing repeats, no man ever yet did see,
it never was but is always to be.
From Orien’s first breath to Caligo’s great dark,
Birthed from nothing and returning thenceforth.
It leaves behind a single sign:
the passing of the sun across the sky.”
