“What the hell…?” Pac wondered aloud, as a bright glow of what was likely a portal to the Nether Realm shined into the night sky, the light seeping through the dead branches. Pathways began disappearing when new dead shrubs grew to block said paths, and parts of walls fell into piles of ashes to reveal all new passages. The small thorns he learned to avoid started growing larger than ever before, and the green shrubs that hid them quickly wilted away until there was nothing left but twisted, dead branches spotted with the now spear-like thorns. Twists and turns that Pac just recently started memorizing began demolishing his confidence in figuring out Maze 256, as they suddenly started changing before his very eyes. It wasn’t just any minor shifts, like some of the stars going out to bring more darkness the changes were more adamant in the maze itself.
But as Pac recalled one of his many encounters with Lord Betrayus, the environment suddenly began to shift. He pondered what could possibly happen to actually frighten him, considering he’s fought ghosts, giant robots, monsters, a certain love-crazed ghoul the list goes on.
Pac didn’t want to stick around long to wait for something scary enough to happen, thus making his experience a true nightmare. And given that the skies were dark, sans for the stars and moons mentioned earlier, it only helped prove his theory that he was having a borderline nightmare. He mentally cursed at himself for not having the lucid power over his mind to make berries appear at will, or to just fly above the tall hedges.
He figured he was having a bad dream since he didn’t have any Power Berries on him, and he always carried some. But no matter how hard Pac-Man tried, he couldn’t find his way through this maze-like trap. If not for the stars and the two moons looming overhead, the maze would have been impossible to escape, let alone navigate. The maze was winding, twisting and hypnotic with its hedges of eternal greenery and thorns.
