As You Wish { Labyrinth x Game of thrones}

Spiders

Twenty minutes.

Twenty minutes she's been running,walking,jogging, even climbing at some points due to overgrowth that wasn't checked on, down the same path. It still had yet to turn. Every time Sansa looked back she honestly couldn't tell how far she went. She knew it was at least a few miles, especially when she ran but there were little markers alerting her of the cost of the last twenty minutes.

Sansa's feet slowed to a stop, her body seeming to decide stopping was probably just as effective as moving forward for all the good it did her. Her body and mind coming to a joint decision, she slumped against one side of the wall, sliding down the rough rock enjoying the sharp painful feeling it gave. It reminded her all this was real. Everything was at stake and she couldn't even figure out a dumb hallway. Sansa groaned, drawing her knees up to place her arms on. She rested her head on her folded up knees hoping that maybe it was all just a vivid hallucination.

" Why hello, My Lady."

Sansa's head shot up, looking around for the voice. She half expected the Hound or the Goblin King. Instead she saw the same empty corridor she'd been running through.

" Down here, Lady Sansa."

The girl head turned to the right towards the source of the noise, her eyes only spying a reasonably large pure black spider. The spider moved closer to her, it's many eyes blinking at her. She knew she should have been afraid, but in all honesty she was too exhausted to be scared. " Did you say hello?" She asked the arachnid

" That I did, My lady. I am Varys." The spider did a mock bow, his two front legs coming up with one bending in front of him, the other going out to the side.

" You're a spider." She noted dimly

" Quite correct I'm afraid." Varys scuttled closer, landing his body on a small ledge that juted out from the stone wall. Sansa felt silly talking to a spider but he was the only one nearby. Maybe he could help her, he did seem very kind for a spider.

" Do you know how to solve this Labyrinth?" She asked, knowing it was a small chance him being a spider and all. She couldn't imagine he'd seen all or even most of the massive maze he lived in.

The spider turned his fanged head up towards her. He seemed almost upset by her question. He regarded her for another second before answering. " There is no solving it, my dear"

Her mouth opened in shock she swore that petyr would've been fair in their game of wills. " Not like that, My lady," He continued when he noticed how shocked she was. " You may be able to get to the center but he will never let you truly leave. You are in the mockingbird's nest, a far more dangerous trap then a spider's web."

Sansa closed her eyes, resting her head against the cool stone behind her. She knew that the Goblin King would make it hard for her to leave, but she still held onto a shred of hope he'd honor his agreement. Maybe she held the King in too high regard. He did take her baby brother on hastily said words. She opened her eyes slowly, viewing the world around her in a different light. " There has to be something," She told the spider, " Twists or turns... something! It just goes on and on." The feeling of despair began to settled deep in her belly, telling her to stay by this friendly spider with his cryptic words for the rest of the thirteen hours.

" It's full of opening, my lady. You just aren't looking." Sansa turned to glare at Varys. She only wanted answers not riddles.

" I'm not a lady" She snapped, " And there aren't any openings! I've been on this same road for twenty minutes!" The spider moved from the ledge, climbing sideways up the wall to be nearer to her face.

" Not yet, my lady. You just aren't looking."

Sansa had no idea what he meant by that. He answered none of her questions and only responded vaguely or not at all. She groaned, standing up and moving away from the annoying creature.
