Through nights jaws she went, the blinding darkness wrapping itself tight. The rocky floor jagged and unforgiving to her bare feet as she strode further into the blackest heart. The draft of ice blew her hair and traced her skin, raising her hair and chilling her senses, crawling from inside pushing her back. As the rough walls closed in after what felt like hours her feet broke through the coarse path, the rock beneath turned to liquid and she lost her feet. Falling to a smooth unbroken floor she felt herself plummet while on her back like a helpless child. Clawing at the slick surface she struggled with gravity bitterly, her nails breaking and skin blistering as she splayed herself to stop her descent. Bruised and skin torn she rolled out to an open cavern stretching on that no walls were to be seen. All around monstrous crystals erupted from the ground, the size of a man they dominated her sight and glow with an intensity that made her shrink back. Daring to walk among the pulsing columns she looked above to see a starlight ceiling dancing above. Crystals fell like snowflakes spreading their colours across the void between ceiling and floor. Glowing structures the size of houses loomed above like a watching parent threatening to come down on her if she should disturb she delicacy.
