While Finn was speaking the king had noticed long vines that grew from the top of the walls to almost touch the ground. â€Å"We can’t see over,† he said, â€Å"so we just have to climb over.

Filled with despair, he jumped off the wall before any of the men down below could say anything to him. Though they were filled with sorrow, the men traveled on. This time, the wall they were walking on did not stop until they reached the end of the maze. â€Å"Now we must climb down, for we still have a journey ahead of us.† announced King Arthur.
