The stone of the hallway is unbroken on either side, but there is a faint light up ahead...
The corridor opens upon a circular cavern. The sunken floor is obscured beneath water, 4-5cm deep, out of which grow innumerable slim plants that glow in the darkness and fill the water with their blue-green radiance. It is impossible to tell whether there is a ceiling or how high it is. The plants themselves are curled stalks like fiddlehead ferns clenched shut and poke their nodding heads up out of the water, thickly clustered, the occasional tall straggler emerging here or there. It would be impossble to walk to the door on the other side of the round without crushing some of them.
From far down the hall behind Hei comes a woman's voice: "Wind or hunger..."
