Crazy Breakfast in Bed

   I was just busy minding my own business when I hear a silent voice that startled me.

   "Still awake at this hour young man?"

   I turned around and it was the elderly husband.

   "I couldn't sleep so I was just looking around", I sheepishly say. I didn't expect for him to still be awake at this hour so he definitely startled me. 

   "Well c'mon now sonny you should be mindful of your surroundings. People could be asleep at this hour you know", the old man said.

   I'm sorry sir, I'll just head back to our room. I reply

   I slowly head back to the room that we booked. From where I was, our room was down the corridor to the left. As I went nearing where our room was supposed to be at, I noticed that I was back at where I was earlier.

   "That's weird", I think to myself. I could have sworn I already passed by the corridor. I brushed it off as deja vu so I started heading down the corridor once again. 

   "God damn, am I really experiencing deja vu this badly?" I ask myself. Must be because I've been stressing about things to much. So I started heading back to our room once more. This happened again for a bunch more times. Every time I take a left after passing the corridor I keep going back to where I first started.

   Something must be up. Now that I think about it, that old dude was acting hella suspicious earlier. It was such a weird interaction too. I tried to keep on heading back to the room. This time I made sure that I remembered the markers and indicators that I past by such as the different paintings in the walls and other decorations.

   I really keep going back to where I started despite me making sure I was going the right way. I decided to leave a coin for in the place I started. If I go back here once I go down the corridor, the coin should still be here. And I'll place a coin before I turn left as well.

   So I head down once more. As I turn left, sure enough I return back to where I was. And the coin was still there. When I walked down the corridor the coin that I also left before turning left was also still there. 

   "What the f**k? how am I even going to get out of this. And how did this even happen exactly?" I think to myself.

   I tried to do a bunch of different things like not immediately turning left and whatever I could think of. None of them work. So I decided to go the opposite direction. Instead of heading to my room I'll just look around the bed and breakfast for a way to eventually get back to our room.

   If worse comes to worse, I'll just make enough noise to wake up the elderly couple so they could guide me back to our room.

   I was walking around in circles and I was pretty annoyed. I just want to lay back in bed. But I guess this serves me right for going out. I just want to find a way to head back.  As I was walking around, I was back to where I encountered the old dude. Funny enough he was still there.

   "A bit lost ain'tcha? That's what happens when you don't behave now sonny", the old dude said.

    "Excuse me, I'm having trouble getting back to my room. Could you perhaps guide me back?" I ask the old dude.

    "I'm afraid I'll have to decline your request now sonny. Well you see this here establishment of mine is a bed and breakfast. Not a bed, tour around the place at the middle of the night, and breakfast." The old dude said. He was smiling but he was giving off such a hostile aura that his smile felt so fake.

   "I'm gonna apologize one again sir. I just want to get back to my room. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience", I just wanted to get this over with. I was getting pretty fed up with walking around in circles and hearing this old dude gloat in front of me.

   "Now, now, sonny listen here, you can't run an establishment for thirty years and not have any rules to follow now cant'cha"

   "You think I didn't notice the fact that you and your buddy could both use magic?" the old dude said. His forced smile seemed to grow wider and creepier under the dimly light corridor.

   Most people would never even be able to tell. It was alarming that this elderly couple knew about us. I should have kept my guard up from the start.

   "Now if you'd behaved yourself, I wouldn't have done anything and you and your buddy could have left our bed and breakfast scott free. So let me teach you a lesson here sonny"

   "My god the kids these days, so unruly. The magic aura that you and your buddy exude is extremely irritating to the eye just so you know".

   "You have been wandering around our bed and breakfast for awhile now right? That's because that's my ability. "Labyrinth", I have control over any building that I have personally built. Since you decided to wake me up at this hour this will be your punishment. You're going to wander our bed and breakfast until I'm satisfied so do your best to entertain me alright sonny?" the old dude said.

   What the f**k? so he was a magic user as well. I immediately gather the winds around my body and launch myself towards him. If I could knock him out I could definitely remove his magic around the building.

   As I approached him, I was sent back to where I first started. "Fuuuuckkk!" I yell out. It's like he has a space distorting type of magic. It was strong but seeing as though the requirement is that it should be something he has built, it was a magic that is extremely hard to pull off. 

   So this bed and breakfast of his also serves as a trap huh. I wonder if other people have incurred his wrath as well.

"Do your best to entertain me", the voice of the old man boomed. It felt like his voice was coming from the walls. "And I never really had any plans to turn you over, but since you pissed me off I might as well call up the Head Hunter to notify that you are staying in my bed and breakfast. He would definitely pay handsomely, and I could use it for renovations", the old dude said while laughing maniacally.

   I was in deep s**t. This guy happens to be affiliated with the Head Hunter. We got ourselves stuck in a trap. This was so f*****g bad that we might as well be handed over to Head Hunter in a silver plater.

   This was very, very bad. I need to dispel his magic even for a moment so I can notify Eddie so we could get the hell out of here. 

   I went back to where our room was headed. Now that I actually took the time to properly observe. Each corridor was lined with so much magic. That must bee the reason why I can't get to our room.

   I didn't really know exactly how to counter act space distorting types of magic but it's just the walls that are lined with magic and not space itself I could definitely muscle my way through whatever he has put up. 

   I wasn't really used to using my magic for punching or for kicking since I always practice sword techniques but I should be fine as long as I follow the basic principles of "Pirouette of Spring" or "Tailwind". Which is to keep the wind constantly shifting at different parts of my body to aid and strengthen whatever action I'm doing.

   I tried using "Tailwind" a bunch of different times. I thought that I could somehow by pass that old dude's magic by going as fast as I can. This didn't work so that means speed is of the table. This really meant that once I head to the end of the corridor. Before I turn left I have to just f*****g go ham on the walls.

   This was my last effort attempt. I need to stop wasting time since Head Hunter is being notified. I had to get past this old dude's magic and get out of here quickly!

    It was now or never!
