The path wound its way through a gorge, ever shrinking. An oppressive stillness settled upon the air, broken only by the distant reverberations of a world forgotten. The sunlight struggled to penetrate the darkening canopy above, casting long more info shapes that danced like phantoms on the forest floor.

• The world outside

Every glimpse was distorted, making it impossible 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 vortex of glass and shadows|Time itself lost all meaning
• Was that just a trick of the mirrors?
