.....@.@@. clearing, narrow but immeasurably long. ...@.@.@.@
....@@@.@@ to your sides are walls made of trees, ..@@@@@@@@

.@.@@@@@@. it is very bright - the air feels light .@.....@.@
@@@.....@@ blue, almost white. @@....@@@@
..@....@.. .@...@....
.@@...@@.@ along the span of the clearing lay two @@..@@....

.@.@.@...@ you're moving upward along the wall of .@.@...@..
@@@@@@..@. a building. it's made of slabby stone, @@@@..@@..
