Sei stepped inside the cave's mouth, the stone edges lit faintly by the escaping moonlight. The deeper Sei moved, the lesser the light became; it was like the darkness stared back at him. Slowly, it grew completely dark, the air grew thick, filled with the scent of moss and old rocks.
He moved cautiously, his shoes brushing against the gravel and sand beneath.
The more he pressed deeper, the more silent it got. Nothing but the echo of his own footsteps greeted him.
But in the endless darkness, his eyes caught a faint shimmer of bluish-green light at a distance.
Having seen the light within darkness, Sei moved faster forward. The glow strengthened with each step. Gradually, the narrow path became wider and finally merged open into a greater chamber. The light was now clear. The chamber stretched far and wide and then separated into three smaller paths.
The bluish light filled the space in an eerie luminescence; it seemed like the walls themselves were glowing.
