Once upon a time in a land quite far away, not too far away..just billions of lightyears..there was a giant maze of colours. Each hedge was a different colour. There was pink, purple, green and orange.. Very Mad Hatter style! Well one day a young woman stumbled upon the maze. She gazed up at it and pondered as to why it was there. She began to walk around the maze inquisitively until she eventually found an opening. The young woman inhaled deeply and ran her hands through her hair before finally deciding to brave the maze. She carefully tiptoed in through the large purple and pink arch almost expecting something to jump out at her as soon as she had passed the entrance. Luckily, yet also boringly, nothing occurred.
"I swear I just saw that purple leaf within that green hedge before.." she muttered to herself, concluding that she was walking in circles. She began to get fed up but, realising she was probably quite lost within the maze, she figured she might as well trudge on. Just as she was passing by a mysterious blue hedge a large creature jumped down from the hedge. It was gorilla-like with light sandy hair. It appeared to be half-man half-gorilla. Of course this was not unusual in this world, everybody was half humanoid, half-animal, yet earthlings still get confused upon first meeting a native of this planet.
"Bahruuhhh" it snarled out as the young woman leaped back. It gazed down at her then suddenly bowed. "Oh I do apologise Madam, I mistook you for a friend of mine!" The young woman chuckled and forgave the creature before continuing on.
Not too long after her encounter with the creature she came across a giant fountain. It was magnificently crafted with black metal and had a giant red rose placed on top of it in the centre. She stared in awe as crystal clear water streamed down the structure into a large pool. As she traced the slight patterns in the metal fountain her eyes fell upon a small marble table. Tearing her gaze away from the fountain she paced over to the table. On it she found a small parchment with a gold trim around the edges. Written on the parchment in navy blue ink was
"Well done~
You've reached the centre of the maze!
Now get to the back of it!"
"Oh for- «content removed for censorship reasons»" the young woman roared out, throwing the parchment back onto the marble table. She flopped down onto the ground in a huff, tearing up some of the yellow grass in frustration.
"Hey!" a voice rang out from her right, "Stop that!" A shadow fell over her as the owner of the voice walked up to her. She pouted and continued to tear fistfuls of the grass up until a dark hand grabbed her wrist. "Stop.." the voice spoke again, this time sterner. The young woman flopped her arms on the ground in defeat as the half-man half-panda sat down beside her. "Fine!" she huffed before looking up at the jet black eyes that were staring down at the grass. The creature gently started patting the ground where the young woman had ripped up pieces of the yellow grass. "You shouldn't enter an unknown place and start destroying some of it's features! How would you like it if I walked into your house and started breaking your lights?" he lectured before sighing, "Ah..it doesn't matter. You didn't do much harm. Thankfully I stopped you before you could upset the maze!" He took his hand that had grabbed the woman's wrist and gently patted her shoulder. "Now, why did you start destroying the maze's grass..? Or is it a hobby of yours?" he smirked. The young woman hung her head and pointed over to the parchment. The creature got up and glanced down at the gold trimmed parchment. "Oh..this?" he called back to her, "Well I can help you with this!" He beamed and ran over to the woman holding his hand out, "Come on!" She hesitated slightly before grabbing onto his slender hand.
In one swift movement the creature hand pulled the young woman up and began running of with her back into the maze. He lead her through so many twists and turns it felt as if the young woman's head was spinning 360°! Suddenly he came to a halt and the young woman crashed into the back of him almost making both of them fall over."Oh! Sorry!" the woman mumbled, embarrassed. The creature gave her a quick smile as he straighten them both up. "Don't worry!" he replied, "I would have given you a warning before we stopped but I wasn't expecting to come across him!" "Him?" the young woman echoed back. She gazed around the creature to see "him" and found a bored looking half-man half-puppy with its arms folded across its chest, tapping its foot. "Sehun how is..everything?" the creature asked the bored looking half-man half-puppy named Sehun. "Fine. Great, in fact!" Sehun droned out monotonously. "It doesn't sound that way..." the young woman muttered quietly. The creature laughed. "No that's just what Sehun's like..No visible enthusiasm at all!" he chuckled. "Shut up Tao! And go on already!" Sehun drawled back.
Still laughing, Tao grabbed the young woman's wrist and darted off again. Not too long after the awkward meeting with Sehun they came across an orange and green arch, similar to the one that the young woman passed through when she entered the maze. The two slowed down and strolled through the arch into a wide open area. The loud sounds of a trumpet being played by a toddler attack their ears. Both their hands darted up to protect their ears. "Yah!!" a voice screamed out, "I'm not that bad! My umma says I'm improving every day!" The young woman gazed slowly upwards to see a skinny figure standing on top of a long table filled with food and drinks and surround by many creatures. The sun was in her eyes so she couldn't see clearly the creature who had murdered the trumpet. Her hand swung out to block out the sun and she saw the pouting half-man half-mouse in front of her holding the trumpet.
"I did practice every day when they announced that they were holding a party to induct you officially into the evil maknae club," the half-man half-mouse sniffed. "It's ok..It only sounded like you murdered the trumpet! You could have tortured it!" the young woman giggled. "Yah!" the half-man half-mouse jumped down from the table and landed right in front of the young woman. Looking down at her he retorted "Well..look at you..you..you small curly haired bunny! You needed help to get here!" "So did you Taminnie..And you even had a map and couldn't get here!" a half-man half-deer called out. "Shut up!" Taemin snapped. The young woman giggled at the deep red colour that had exploded onto Taemin's face. He huffed and grabbed her wrist from Tao and storming away with her to sit as far away from the laughing creatures as possible. "Roi, I really did practice the trumpet every day!" he mumbled quietly as she ruffled his hair fondly.
