The route wound its way through a ravine, ever contracting. An oppressive stillness settled upon the air, broken only by the distant echoes of a world long gone. The sunlight struggled to penetrate the overhanging canopy above, casting long shadows that danced like phantoms on the ground. Every stride was a struggle, as if the very ground itself was pushing back. The air grew oppressive, laden with the scent of death.

• An overwhelming fear my soul
• This place

It felt as if the trees themselves were reaching out, grasping at me with their powerful embrace. The way ahead was lost, swallowed by the void.

• The maze whispered secrets in the rustling of my clothes
• {With each turn, I felt further|I was trapped in a vortex of glass and shadows|Time itself lost all meaning
• A wave of fear ran down my spine.
