The Labyrinth
By: Karadas

Then suddenly all your body paralizes and you hear a voice echoing in the distance "seems like another rat has been lured to my maze," this voice was terribly cold but playfull, "come on you are not already planning on leaving, the fun has only begun."

You reach the gate after many hours of walking through the wilderness, so you decide to take a rest before going inside the large cave. While you sit down sipping the last of the beer that the old man gave you at the tavern, you remember the words he told you about the labyrinth: "In the end of the labyrinth resides a force which can make any of your dreams come true. But the path is not an easy one as it is filled with traps and mosters guards the passages".
As you started walking down the passage it seemed to have no end and it extended as far as you could see. The words of the old man kept sounding inside your head and just as a precaution you drew you old sword to be ready just in case.
"The old man sure played a prank on me", you say to yourself, "I’ve been walking down this path for more than an hour and it still strectches into nothingness. I’m sure he’s laughing at me in that tavern stool in which he was. Oh yes laughing at the man who believed his crazy story".
You decide to return and have another conversation with that old man but when you turn you see a wall behind right were the path that you had been walking was. "That’s strange," you think and you turn around to keep walking. But when you turn you see that path is not straight anymore it now divides into three smaller paths.
Then suddenly all your body paralizes and you hear a voice echoing in the distance "seems like another rat has been lured to my maze," this voice was terribly cold but playfull, "come on you are not already planning on leaving, the fun has only begun."
You gather all the valor from inside you and you decide to scream back to this vioce but all that comes out is a weak and frightened "who are you?"
"Who am I is not important right now. You are in my maze and if you are here is because you have heard the stories about it. Well let me tell you that they are true, if you can find me, I will make any of wishes come true, if you can find me. Now come on lets play for a while."
Since you cannot go back you grab your sword as firmly and you start running into the dark, into the heart of the labyrinth.

One maze with an interesting origin is featured in the movie "Cube". It is a great source of inspiration for many mazes.

I like the writing style, but this is incomplete to me.. like an appetizer with no main course.

Cube is very cool, if that's what I am thinking about (minor spoiler) the main premise is that people are put inside of a room thats like a box and has doors on all 6 walls. There is a large array of these boxes all linked, and together they make a giant cube. It is like a Rubik's (sp?) cube, and like that item, it moves, so you can get chopped if you are between when it moves.. make every room have a little special something (some monsters, traps, a room where no magic, or an antigrav room, etc.) and you've got a nice little dungeon. And because it moves, going back through a door is not guaranteed to bring you where you started.

(Sadly the special characters are a product of the server's move. A solution for all the affected posts is worked on... I hope.)

Number 1 question is Why? Why does this wierd place exist? Why is the old man finding victims?

This one needs a lot of work.

Real World: some Indians in the Amazon treat their eyes with a traditional potion applied with palm leaves. Brutally painful, the drug alters vision, giving the jungle's dense green walls greater texture and dimension. You could adapt this to desert or swamps, or other hard to navigate regions.
