,,,,«†††¤# 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 ###¤%††«,,

,,«††%¤### proper houses with mortar to keep them ###¤%††«,,
