Auryn is ten steps into the left path. Ten steps and the beating of wings fills the air. A great shape blocks all light from the tall labyrinth walls and when it lands, he is faced with a lion-like creature. Great haunches and wild mane, but with great wings it folds over itself and a humanoid face nestled within the mane.
Its voice is a growl, and it cranes its neck to peer at the trespasser, nearly pressing its nose against his.
"It cannot be seen
Cannot be felt
Cannot be heard
Cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars
and under hills
and empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after
Ends life and kills laughter."
The creature lets out a growling laugh. "Answer my riddle true or become my feast you do."
