That's gonna hurt.

But, you're still alive and if you've still got fireseed for light, the next turn in the cave should be visible. The passage narrows somewhat, the light bouncing off what look like fairy eggs nestled in the crevices. But as soon as they're noticed, the passage opens into a huge cavern, the light reflecting upward, if not outward. The gentle sounds of water lapping at the shore can be heard, but not yet seen. Along the back wall of the cavern, near where you stand, plant life of all sorts presses up against the stone. Nascent trees crawling with wood lice. Alihotsy plants mingling with angel's trumpet. Slimy bundles of what look like green rat tails nestle against gurdyroots. Deathcaps press up against their muggle counterparts. All ignorable, so long as you aren't anxious for a snack.

When you finally come to the shore, you can see what appears to be a lake - though the far side if obscured from view by the dark. What is apparent, however, is that the other two sides have no shores - just sheer rock faces. There is nowhere to go but across the lake. Giant lilypads float on the surface, some appearing close enough to leap one to the other. Gravity resistant trees hover above the surface, again appearing to, at least at the start, be close enough to travel one to the other. As for the water, it seems calm if one simply wanted to swim. There's no telling what lies beyond the limit of your sight, but you have to start somewhere.
Uhf!

Brielle fell onto the rock hard ground of the cave, her eyes welling up with tears of momentary pain. Quickly jumping to her feet, Brielle ran softly on the spot, trying to shake out the pain. Brielle was use to foot injuries, she was after all an accomplished Ballerina, and if there was one thing that Ballerina’s were used to it was constant foot pain.

Moving away from the Snare hole, so to not allow the plants to grab her again, Brielle used the three remain seeds to shine light onto the way ahead. A small turn reveal walls full of what appeared to be fairy eggs, stuffed into wall cervices, however something more foreign stole her attention, the sound of water.

Moving past the eggs Brielle’s eyes widened beyond reckoning, there in front of her was an under-ground sea, stretching far off into the darkness. The shore on which she stood was littered with plants, however having had enough for the moment she gave them very little notice, noting their species but return to the sea.

There was no way but across, that was clear for the girl to see, so with a deep breath, Brielle set off, with an elegant leap she left the shore, aiming right for the centre of the lily-pads. She had selected the perfect one, it had a tree branch just above it, a nice lifeline should the pad sink.
