"Armaros Awakens: An Adventure of Lost and Found"
Chapter 1: The Awakening
Armaros awoke, eyelids fluttering open to an unfamiliar scene. The room was a vast enclosed dome, the walls and floor crafted from the purest white marble. It hummed with an eerie echo, radiating an alien calmness. The colossal circular chamber offered four corridors, spreading out like an odd compass with pathways running in every opposite directions. He looked around, blinking against the disorientation; his mind felt a foggy and muddled, cluttered with shards of memory.
Try as he might, Armaros could not remember arriving to this place—or anything prior to his waking. His identity clung to him, though. His own name, Armaros, echoed in his mind, tethering him to the present. A fractured image of a girl, bright blue eyes shimmering like starlight against her golden hair, also persisted. Her radiant smile warmed something in his heart—even though he no longer remembered the context. Aura, the name whispered to his subconscious like a sweet lullaby, her essence a comforting enigma amidst the conundrum of his memory.
Reinvigorated by the thought of Aura, Armaros drew a deep breath, filling his lungs with the musty air of the ancient marble chamber. He examined the four doorways quizzically, trying to discern a sign or symbol, something that could guide his journey.
The doorway directly ahead of him oozed an aura of dread, the coldness of death seemed to seep from its depths. The right corridor glowed invitingly, but he hesitated, a veil of danger lurking beneath the inviting exterior. Turning around, he felt a surge of anger and hatred, as if an invisible hand etched the feelings into his spine with a metallic blade.
His gaze turned to the left corridor. Its dusky opening emitted a feeling of peace and, inexplicably, he felt an instinctive pull from within himself, an unmistakable sense of rightness. Gathering his courage, he broke into a run towards the left corridor. Just as he reached its gaping mouth, iron bars crashed down with a clanging sound, barring his way.
Armaros jerked back instinctively, stumbling backwards. Staring down the barricaded corridor, he gritted his teeth, the determination igniting a fire in his emerald eyes. "I will get out and find answers," he vowed aloud, his voice vibrated within the cold chamber.
With one last glance at the closed gateway, Armaros took off, his heart pounding against his ribcage. His journey through the dreamlike maze had begun, armed solely with the resolve to decode his past, understand his present, and to uncover the mystery behind the blue-eyed, golden-haired girl, Aura.

Prompt: I woke up and looked around. I was in a massive circular room made of marble with four corridors leading in different directions. I tried to remember how I got here but then I realized I couldn't remember anything except my own name Armaros and a picture of a girl's face who had blue eyes and golden blonde hair and her smile and her name, Aura. I took a deep breath and looked at each doorway. The one in front of me felt oppressing and heavy like death. I looked at the one on my right, light but dangerous so I turned around and it felt like someone was scraping a knife made of anger and hatred down my back. I looked left and I knew it was the right way to go. I turned and ran toward the left corridor and just as I reached inside the door, iron bars dropped down blocking it. I looked in front of me down the corridor. I muttered "I will get out and find answers" and then I took off through the maze.
