Prompt 4: Riddles AND a Labyrinth?!

Raspberry Romance finds himself entrenched deep into the labyrinth. The stone doors and corridors having shifted to large hedges that loomed over him. Raspberry moved slowly through, leaving breadcrumbs and muffin bottoms behind him from his and Cocoa Heart's last baking date. Riddles he could handle, having passed them correctly, however finding his way... was a bit more difficult. He had to get through the maze! If not for himself, then for her. He took a deep breath, and closed his eyes. The moon was already in the sky, and he couldn't lose his head.

The mind is easily lost, however this is much more fragile despite all the beating. What am I?

The quizzing voice seemed to come from everywhere. From the bushes, from the moon itself. Raspberry nearly jumped out of his skin. His eyes widened, as he realized the answer to the riddle wasn't just for the riddle, but for his problems.
"Heart!" He all but yelled in excitement, energy rushing through him in a new burst of energy. His mind and hooves were lost, but his heart never was! He just had to follow his heart, his intuition, to get out of this maze. He took off at a gallop, breadcrumbs falling in his wake. Before his adrenaline rush could wear off, he found himself bursting through the foliage and dirt of the maze into an open area.

Congratulations! You've bested our maze!

Raspberry felt a smile break across his face, and relief wash over him. He slowed down to a trot, however that didn't slow him down long enough as he spotted his beloved Cocoa Hearts in the crown. He ran over to her, embracing her with excitement.
"I did it! I did it, and I couldn't have done it without you, Cocoa!! Thank you!"
