Search for the Relic

After days of travelling, you reach the gate the King specified. It's three times as tall as you are and carved into a mountainside. As you inspect the door you realize it has a locking mechanism- once you go in you're not going to be able to get out until you find that relic. You sigh, sip from your canteen, and push the doors open. Immediately the musky smell of the cave rushes out, almost as if the cave is taking a deep breath. You unsheathe your sword and cautiously step in, casting a spell to create light. You take one last look at the world outside before the door roughly shuts behind you.

To be honest, you don't know much about this place. Your king, recognizing your battle prowess, sends you to this unexplored cavern to find some sort of important artifact. You're confident in your battle skills; you could clear wave after wave of demons easily. Your only adversity at the moment is the lack of knowledge. You're sure you'll be fine though, nothing here could outmatch you in physical strength.

You start to trek down the cave, nothing here at the moment except for the curving walls. Eventually, you stop when you find a fork in the road. A fire pit burns in the center, the face of a dragon carved into it.

Either the fire was lit recently, or there's magic. Either way, it's ominous.

You look down both of the paths and see nothing, meaning you'll have to take a pick blindly. You sigh and try to make up your mind.

Just then, you hear a voice. You can't make out any words, but it's some sort of beautiful song. You feel inclined to follow it, to find the singer of such a wonderful tune. Just hearing the noise makes you relax a bit.

The other path is pitch black and nothing seems to come from it. You sit and think, trying to decide which way to go.
