I wander through a labyrinth where walls are built from ticking clockwork gears, each one spinning with a faint, iridescent glow of emerald and gold.
The floor is a mosaic of stained glass, shifting patterns with every step, whispering forgotten names.
A faceless figure cloaked in feathers drifts ahead, humming a tune that makes the air taste of cinnamon and frost. Suddenly, the maze folds inward, walls collapsing into a spiral of liquid brass. I step onto a platform of floating lilies, bobbing in a sea of starlit ink.
Mechanical butterflies, their wings etched with equations, flutter in sync, forming a bridge to a tower of twisted spoons. Inside, a chandelier of living fireflies pulses, each light singing a note of a song half-remembered.
The figure offers a key shaped like a crescent moon, and as I touch it, the maze dissolves into a shower of petals, leaving only the echo of ticking gears.
