The route wound its way through a ravine, ever shrinking. An oppressive hush settled upon the air, broken only by the distant reverberations of a world long gone. The rays of hope struggled to penetrate the overhanging canopy above, casting long shapes that danced like phantoms on the ground. Each step was a test, as if the very ground itself was resisting.

• {With each turn, I felt further|I was trapped in a vortex of glass and shadows|Time itself lost all meaning
• Was that just a trick of the reflection?
