The crevice was not narrow and could accommodate two people walking side by side. Beyond the crevice was a long upward slope, which made the internal space invisible from the start. Holding the Crystal Energy lamp aloft while walking through the crevice, the environment was eerily silent, as if in a post-mortem world, where only a faint, monotonous ticking echoed continuously. In the silence, the weak sound was startling, like thunder. It was the Water Elemental hiding in the moist air, cooled by the chilly cave ceiling rocks, transforming into dew that continually dropped, forming shallow puddles on the ground.
