My intuition stood correct, as after zooming past a crack in the wall of lava, I successfully exited the formation.
My first victory emboldened my steps, and I bravely set forward. And after a few more meters, I once again got sucked into a dimension linked with another formation.
The distortion subsided, and I found myself Inside a warm and humid cavern, where the air felt mouldy and seemingly stagnant for many years.
The size of the cave was not enormous, but it was big enough to fit in a dozen people by squeezing them in. And there were none but two ways to go.
In my front was a long passage along the cavern walls with bright white light welcoming at its end.
However, behind me was a steep drop that was filled with many sharp stalactites like rock protrusions along the wall of the drop, as well as the floor at its end.
