The glow is easy to miss at first, just a thin haze of colour caught between the roots, pale and wavering where it threads down into the Peepholes. It has no clear source, no lantern bobbing ahead or fungus bright enough to explain it, only a faint trail that seems to brighten when followed and dim whenever looked at too directly.
Beneath the jungle, the air is damp and close despite the chill of Deepfrost elsewhere, with thick roots holding open the hollowed paths where the old earth has washed away. Luminescent leaves glimmer in soft patches, and fungus crowds the dark in uneven clusters, but the strange light keeps slipping onward, leading deeper between the man-sized holes sunk into the ground. Some gape black and empty, some gleam with still water, and others hold half-seen shapes that might be stones, bones, or offerings left behind for something that only comes when no one is watching.
The farther the trail winds, the heavier everything becomes. Not suddenly, not enough to alarm at first, but with the slow insistence of a long day catching up all at once. Your limbs grow warm and unwieldy, your thoughts soften around the edges, and even breathing seems to ask for more effort than it should. The glow ahead continues to shimmer faintly through the dark, patient and inviting, as if whatever waits below has all the time in the world.
