Eighth Hint
"The next people you meet will help you out from here," you hear the crow say. While the stories do seem to be to your help, you were unsure whether or not you went the right way this time as there was no further indication from the crow. Maybe the story ended there? As you were deep into your thoughts, you run into someone. "Owie," you hear her.. or them go. In front of you lied two girls. Twins to be precise, as they looked identical to eachother. "Oh," "Look!, "We found," "another one," they exclaimed, ending eachother's sentence. "You see," "A girl," "Was here," "A second ago," "And," "She gave us," "A blanket!" they continued. However, before you had the chance to ask something, they ran off laughing. Vie, who followed one of the creatures, ended up losing sight of him. She was sure that he headed this way. However, before Vie got too far, she felt someone yanking on her blanket. Behind her stood a girl crying. "Was she also lost?" Vie thought. A nametag that was sewn on her dress read [N. ___ Gemini] with the middle part missing. An unusual name to say the least. Ahead of her stood another girl in a dress, also crying. They looked identical to eachother. "Were they both lost? Are they twins?" she thought. The second girl was also wearing a nametag which read [E. June ______] with the last part missing. Vie stopped for a moment to try and talk with them while consoling them. Sadly, neither replied with anything. As they continued to walk for a while, one of the twins began to slow down considerably to indicate that she was getting tired. They all sat down, with one of the twins resting her head on the other twin's shoulder. Seeing that they were both tired and nearly asleep, despite it being fairly early in the morning, Vie tucked them in her blanket. As Vie sat with them, she could see a crow further up the path. It was the same crow as she saw at the entrance, but it appeared to be fine this time. Following the crow with her eyes, the crow took off and flew into a bright light. "Could it be the exit?" she thought. The twins, who were quiet just a second ago, started to laugh before running off. "Thank" "You" she could hear them yell as they ran off into the fog. With the twins gone and what she assumed was the exit ahead of her, she followed the crow into the light..

Seventh Hint
The young Vie, who had to bury the poor birds, also continued up this path. As night fell, it got colder and colder. In fact, it was getting a bit too chilly. She would soon find out why as she could see a campfire ahead of her. However, next to the campfire sat two huge creatures wearing black hooded robes. Even with the campfire there, it got colder and colder the closer she got to it until she eventually collapsed. The creatures, who had noticed Vie, slowly approached her. Tucked in a blanket, Vie could feel the warmth of the campfire as she woke up lying next to it. She recalled being tucked into the blanket and carefully moved by someone with very bony hands. In fact, that someone was sitting in front of her. The two creatures, each holding a huge scythe, looked at Vie curiously. There was nothing but bones on each of them. Again, this didn't appear to faze her at all, and she nodded at them as a thank you, albeit nervously. The three of them sat quietly throughout the night, looking curiously at eachother and doing gestures. Despite the thick fog enveloping the maze, she could tell that the sun was rising. It also seemed like it was time to continue to move through the maze, as the creature on the left picked up his scythe, which seem to be made out of aluminium with numbers engraved, and started to walk away. The creature on the right then picked up his scythe, which was made out of cobalt and also had numbers engraved, and began to walk off. The creature turned around to wave good bye to Vie, before it continued. You had already arrived to what appeared to be a campfire by the time the crow ended his story. Barely any ashes remaining. However, you knew where to go.

Sixth Hint
The tree seemed to be very fond of Vie at the time they met. It was rare for creatures inside the maze to encounter humans, even more rare when they are unable to move throughout the maze. Despite being alive for hundred of years, Vie was the first human the tree had encountered. Just like how we had to continue through the maze, so did Vie. Unlike us, however, she had to bury the poor birds that didn't make it. The crow had continued the story of Vie as you kept walking, once again confirming that you were on the right track. As you stopped in what you believed to be the destination, you could hear someone or something crying. However, there was no one around and you were certain that it wasn't the crow. As you continued to walk, you could see what seemed to be a well-worn wooden plaque lying beneath you. Is this the source of the cry? Both the letters and numbers were barely readable, as the plaque must have been there for quite some time. The plaque read:

Fifth Hint
Continuing through the maze, you spot what seems to be a huge tree in the middle of the path. The crow, who had been awfully quiet lately, makes you question whether or not you went the correct way. More importantly, how were you unable to spot the tree earlier? The tree shakes violently before you hear someone in a very deep voice say "...is that you?". With no one around you besides the crow, you could only assume that it came from the tree. Could it be someone on top of the tree? Suddenly, the tree turned around only to reveal it's face. The mouth alone was big enough to swallow you whole. "Oh, I see that we have another guest," the tree said. "Well then, what brings you the maze, I don't think I have seen your face here," the tree continued. You explained your circumstances to tree, hoping that he could be to some help. "I see how it is," the tree responded. "There was in fact another person here just a moment ago, which I was hoping to meet once again. That will have to wait for another day however," the tree continued. The tree proceeded to shake its branches a bit until four birds flew out, flying towards the southern part of the maze. "Only four left," you heard the tree mutter, "I had the young lady bury some birds the other day," it continued. "You see, when it gets cold up here the birds migrate south. The weaker ones have no other option than to stay, sadly. If you were to keep heading upwards, you would eventually end up in the south. Send them my greetings, will you," the tree said before it slowly stopped moving. Its leaves quickly withered and fell down from its branches, leaving the tree with no leaves and no movements. "Let's go," you could hear the crow mumble.
