CHAPTER 5 - THE GARDEN MAZE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Soul! Get up! Get up!" Ceridwen cried, shaking poor Soul from unconsciousness, "Runt and Hope are lost in the maze!"
Soul rose to his feet and took in his surroundings, "where are we?"
"We are in a huge hedge maze!" Ceridwen explained, looking in bushes for clues to her friend's wherabouts, "but no time for that now! You must find Runt and Hope! I'll have to wait here because their backpacks and equipment are here,and need guarding. Take my blade!"
"Rescuing two beautiful girls in a maze...." Soul muttered,
After Soul obtained Ceridwen's sword, he walked through the entrance of the maze and took a left. No sound anywhere. Soul passed a fork in the maze and took a right to the end of the path. He now found himself in a clearing.
A small girl was sitting on the ground crying. She was about 10 or 11 or so. "Don't hurt me!" she called as Soul approached her. She looked up with teary eyes."Why are you crying?" Soul asked, "are you lost?"
"No I know my way out," the girl spoke, introducing herself as Rosa," but I am trapped here because a evil creature is loose in the maze! He is 9 feet tall and carries a chainsaw! It's a creation of admin Tex!"
"My friends got lost in here," Soul told Rosa, "two young pretty girls.."
"I saw them!" Rosa interrupted, "a desert girl and a small elfish girl! They are at the exit! Take me there! Keep the monster away!"
"My friend Ceridwen is at the entrance," Soul informed, "how will she get through?"
"I will send an escort from the house on the other side. They are brave warriors, " Rosa explained hastily, "but keep the monster away and follow me. Don't lose me"
"Which monster is it?" Soul asked, drawing Ceridwen's blade.
"ARRGHH!" Rosa cried. Soul turned to face a tall manlike Frankensteinlike being. It stood ten feet tall
"It's the Lightstealer!" Rosa yelled.
Rosa ran back to the fork in the maze, while Soul awaited the swipe of the chanisaw coming down...

CHAPTER 6 - THE GREAT LS CHASE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soul knocked the Lightstealer down with a swipe of Ceridwen's blade, but the Lightstealer merely shook it's robot head and rose slowly again! Whilst it was stunned, Soul ran back to the fork and saw Rosa up ahead. Once she noticed Soul, Rosa ran left and Soul followed.
The Lightstealer was approaching fast. Rosa was still at least 20 feet away up ahead. Soul dodged a chainsaw attack once again and stunned the Lightstealer with another blow with the sword. Soul turned to Rosa but she was gone! The path veered off both left and right.
"Help Me!" Rosa's voice came from the right. Soul followed right. He came to a nother junction, but could not see or hear Rosa. Soul took the left path, catching his breath before the Lightstealer returned.
But it had. The LS swiped again, and inflicted a small cut on Soul's arm, causing him to drop Ceridwen's sword. Soul then realized he had something in his pocket. The SNAPPLE drink he had bought for Runt!. Soul threw the SNAPPLE bottle at the LS, and the LS shook it's head and knelt on one knee, shaking off the SNAPPLE juice. "Help Me!" Rosa's voice came from towards the northern path.
The LS chased after Soul into a junction. "Help Me!" Rosa called from the north path.
Soul ran north and found Hope and Runt on the other side of a gate at the end of the path. The LS was approaching rapidly,but saw that Soul had exited the maze, so it turned around and started shaping one of the bushes in to the shape of an easter egg. "Agent of Satan!" Soul taunted. The LS ignored him completely.
"You are safe!"Hope cried, "I prayed that you would find us!" Soul hugged Runt and Hope.
"Where is Ceridwen?" Runt asked, looking around. "Is she ok?"
"Oh Rosa, a girl in the maze, is going to send an escort to help Ceridwen through the maze, " Soul laughed, "if I could find her." .....
Rosa was nowhere in sight.
