The labyrinth which you find yourself trapped in is dark. 
It's impossible to tell the different pathways from each 
other, and all attempts to retrace your own steps have 
failed. You are hopelessly lost.

But... is that a faint glow in the distance? You haven't 
noticed that light before, perhaps it leads to the outside! 
Your heart leaps as you quickly stride toward its source, 
your mind so focused on the distant light that you fail to 
notice the claw marks and patches of scorched blackness on 
the surrounding walls.

Finally you find yourself in a large cave, and at last you 
see the source of the light, the flaming maw of a dragon! 
You try to flee, but panic seizes you, and your feet freeze 
in their tracks. In what seems like an eternity to your 
racing mind, the dragon lowers its massive and scaly head 
and crushes you in its powerful jaws!

You fall into the arms of a tall powerful woman, dressed 
in a sparkling suit of full armour, and wearing her long 
hair in twin braids down her back. She cradles you in her 
arms like you were a child and whispers, "Fear not, 
warrior. I am a Valkyrie, sent by the gods to 
take you to..."
