The route wound its way through a gorge, ever narrowing. An oppressive silence settled upon the air, broken only by the distant sounds of a world lost. The sunlight struggled to penetrate the thickening canopy above, casting long shadows that danced like phantoms on the ground. Every stride was a test, as if the very ground itself was opposing. The air grew heavy, laden with the scent of decay.

• An overwhelming fear my heart
• Reality itself

I sensed as if the roots themselves were reaching out, grasping at me with their deadly embrace. The way ahead was lost, swallowed by the darkness.

Every reflection was distorted, making it hard to separate reality from illusion. Was I following something, or were we both lost?

• Eerie whispers seemed to emanate from the walls themselves
• {With each turn, I felt further|I was trapped in a web of glass and shadows|Time itself lost all meaning
• Was that just a trick of the reflection?
