    Your eyes start to open slowly after who knows how long, you find yourself laying down, your back against the hard wood your small rowboat. When your brain starts working again you take notice the strange place where you're in. It looks like you're in some kind of cave, the air is warm and humid and has very strange smell, your boat is floating on something that definitely looks like water, but it also feels thicker than water, it's viscous and kinda yellowish, around you there's lots of fish, some are swimming around and many others are dead, there's also lots and lots of random junk and debris that you'll probably find in the beach of a big city, but most importantly, this place is dark, the only source of light comes from the small lantern attached to your boat, you can't really see the end of the chamber but at first glance it doesn't seem to be an obvious way out of this strange place. You rub your head as you take a moment to recall what happened before you ended up in this place. You are a sailor, a fisherman be presice, this morning you went out to sea on your little boat like you always do to get some nice fish to sell, but the catch was not good at all at your usual spot so you decided to go further into the open sea. After many hours you finally started catching some fish... but then a storm began... you got caught in the storm and lost all your catch, everything started shaking, then something huge crashed with you and you were engulfed in darkness... and then...

    "Hey! Are you awake in there? Are you alright?"

    A voice? It's loud and booming but it's obviously feminine. You try to find the source but it's useless, the voice resonates from everywhere all at once, shaking the strange chamber where you're in, it's like it's coming from somewhere in the outside.

    "Come on! Heeeelllooooo?"
