,,,,,«†§## you find yourself in a rift - a ##§†«,,,,,
,~«†%§#### clearing, narrow but immeasurably long. ####§%†«~,
,~«†%§§### to your sides are walls made of trees, ###§§%†«~,
,~«†%§§§## thick and ready to swallow you. the sun ##§§§%†«~,
,,,,,~†%## is nowhere to be seen, but nontheless ##%†~,,,,,
,~«†%§#### it is very bright - the air feels light ####§%†«~,
,~«†%§#### blue, almost white. ####§%†«~,

,~«††%§### along the span of the clearing lay two ###§%††«~,
