There's going to come a day when you feel better
You'll rise up free and easy on that day
"Yeah, she was." There's a lump in your throat that you cannot deny, one you simply don't have time for now. So you swallow it down, ignoring the pain behind your eyes at any mention of your mom and plastering on a confident smile in place of real feeling.You'll rise up free and easy on that day
Dark, but we gotta survive.
"Alright!" Rubbing your hands together, you take in your assembled team. Lena, Zavien, Mittens, Sol, and of course Pipsqueak who has hopped from her rock and is now sniffing aloofly at the younger wyrm. Maybe they aren't demigods, but you wouldn't replace 'em for the world. "Everyone grab a headlamp, and let's head in. Keep your eyes sharp, and stick together."
And so you head into the tunnel of vines and roots and gods know what else, swallowing as the Longheat sun fades away to the perpetual murky dust for which the Grotto is known.

The first few minutes are pretty uneventful. The path is wide here, familiar and well-worn, a popular haven for kids and lovers. Deeper in things start to change: three branching paths open in the murk, one left and down, one right and even, one central and arcing up. "Thoughts?" you ask, looking to your companions for their opinions on the choice ahead. None seems more decrepit than any other. Really, it's anybody's game.
Vote on the path you think we should take! Right, Center, or Left!
And float from branch to branch, lighter than the air
Just when that day is coming, who can say?
