Which Way?

Which path would you choose>
One looks calm and serine while the other looks dark, vile, desolate and reaks of danger
one path will lead onward towards geophyte ridge and will keep you on path whilst the other will lead to certain doom as you will be going arround in circles forgetting which way you've already gone untill you exhaust your suplies and eventually starve. this is the start of the defenses put into place to keep creatures away from the cavern that leads to the celestial solar dragon statue/portal and the temple of the fire dragon.

I know i used a cliche sterotypical book thing that is overused but i like this idea :3
This is dragon related too because it is a place north of the dragon academy from my comic

Here's a thingy i wrote:
You should listen here as you get near, do not take the path you can bear. Lovers of life might shead a tear when they see the sear. The glowing strand on the land lights the path to avoid the wraith. Deception is where you stand, for the path that looks rather bland.
