The Sphinx, Nikolai had to admit, was very scary and he was relieved when the door opened for him. He kept his eyes on the creature until she was out of his line of vision; he didn't know if she would change her mind or not.. luckily she did not and he found himself on yet another path. Narrow path, he raised his wand and cast Lumos. Slowly and carefully, he made his way through the narrow path, occasionally getting tangled in a few of the branches. It would have been easier maybe, if his foot was normal size. He would have tried Finite on it, but that would mean there would be no trip to see the hot Healer woman.

Turning a few corners, all trace of time lost, the path became less and less narrow and his journey was much easier. No more getting tangled in branches, and his foot was not taking up half the path anymore. He continued at a slow and steady pace until his foot bumped against something hard. Scoffing at himself for not being careful, he moved his wand downwards to see what it was that he bumped into.

A chest of some sort?

Maybe he should kick it again to try and open it?
