In the wilderness, not far from your home, is a cave. It's entry is narrow, and leads to a pond of ground water deep underground. While exploring, just as you always have, you discover a corridor you never noticed previously. Unfortunately, the lose stone beneath your shoes let you slip into a deep crack, shattering your Flashlight on the way down.
You awake, however, the complete darkness makes it difficult to know if you really opened your eyes. Just as you're about to panic, a voice calls out.
Oh? Is someone new here?
Distant foot steps approach. It's light and hardly disturbs the loose rock. The voice itself is female, and is at an almost whisper.
