GMG x800: Even Through The Unknown, Our Hearts Are Strong

After the announcements of the opening ceremony, the participating teams are transported to a new location that is unknown to them. It appears to be some sort of corridor plagued with stone slabs that stack high above them. A Milky Way blanket paints the sky above the stone walls, as torches illuminate most of the path before them. A booming voice comes over the area to instruct the players. "Welcome to the first day of the Grand Magic Games!" Mato shouts. "You may have noticed that you aren't in the arena anymore. You now find yourself in a maze of traps and trials to test you as a team. Make your way through this labryth and you will earn points for your team! Simple enough right? Just beware, things are bound to happen around every corner!" The mic cuts out and leaves the teams to decide what to do next. - Souten looked around in awe. It was amazing to him that without his own knowledge he had been teleported so easily. He couldn't help but smile at the challenge. "No one go running off yet. We've got to come up with a plan." He stated, looking at the four others around him.

"First off," Souten started to speak, a surprisingly commanding tone filling the man's usual soft voice. "We've got to remember, this isn't just a walkway full of traps, it's a maze as well. I'm sorry to say that this isn't something we can just charge into, we've got to take into consideration every decision. That means you Sachiel. I know you like to wander, but we can't split up."
