  Smoothly eroded rocks here tell the tale of the relationship between
power and time, of water's patience and stone's slowly waning resolve.  You
find yourself beneath the surface, with water churning strongly all around,
and your visibility is somewhat limited by the bubbles forced and often
caught under the surface by the massive falls above.  It seems that a tunnel
has formed down here somehow.  It leads both south and northeast, and each
direction looks to promise very different things.

  Striated stone walls threaten to tear at your clothes and skin.  At
times, the passage becomes so narrow that you have no choice but to brush
against the rocks, and at others it widens into a veritable cavern of its
own.  The darkness doesn't make things easier, but at least - unlike other
underwater areas of the world - it seems bereft of things wishing to eat
you.  The only aquatic life here appears to be a small collection; some
species of albino shrimp is living contentedly in the silt below you.  A
light current tries to pull you north.

  The water here moves, sometimes carrying you northeastward and at others
carrying you south.  It moves unceasingly, restless and uncertain.  The
walls of this channel have a tinge of green to them, hinting at life, and
the floor below is less silty and more of a murky green-brown.  Curious, it
is, that green would be in such a dark place, but perhaps that very soft
light to the north might be at fault.

  Tiny white minnows dart to and fro, chasing after one another and nipping
at fins in small schools.  They ignore your presence completely, sometimes
even using you as cover - an obstacle for the others to navigate in their
game.  This area is comfortably cool, the water nigh stagnant, and is
brightly green.  Light emanates from miniscule crystalline grains in the
rocks around you, permitting algae to grow, which in turn filters the light
and bathes the tunnel in a calming green.

  Large crystal deposits glow brightly all around you, some in veins that
streak nearly the entire length of this stretch of channel.  Algae grows
rampant in the light, as if supernaturally fuelled by the nurishment, and
its long tendrils float mostly motionless in the calm water.  In response,
other life here is abundant as well.  Small schools of trout swim by,
chasing after water bugs while crabs and small octopi stir in the mud below.
All the walls and floor are green and grey and brown, but everything that
moves and swims about is a stark white, marred only by whatever algae has
begun to grow on it as well.

  The walls here bulge outward, creating a large chamber that is well lit
by glowing blue crystals naturally embedded within.  Craggy, algae-covered
rocks and boulders crowd the ground, covered with strange orange and pink
cave corals that grow about them.  The corals grow in such a way as to leave
holes and tunnels in and through them, and in these tunnels live creatures
that are stranger yet than the coral, with changing skins and oddly placed
fins, and some with mouths that make up half their body.  Fish swim about
happily, sometimes swirling about as one of their number is taken by
something hungry.

  Though fairly dark, life somehow makes this pool its home, and in amounts
that are impressive to behold.  Everywhere, fish of all sizes swim in
schools, albino squids and octopi pulsate and glide through the water, crabs
scuttle about on the walls and muddy ground - even the occasional snake
undulates by.  It makes little sense from your vantage, but it is possible
that it may have something to do with the blueish light coming from a small
opening in the rocks to your east.  A swim may be in order for the curious
at heart.

  Through a narrow, rocky opening behind and obscured by the altar of Earth
to the south, a preternatural sense of quiet and stillness takes hold.  A
thick bed of moss begins to grow on the ground and walls here, growing
thicker as it spreads down into a cave-like tunnel.  The spongy green
silences footfalls and absorbs exterior noises.  Water drips slowly from
budding stalactites fifteen or so feet above, falling silently to the
carpeted floor.  Even your own heartbeat seems somehow quieted here.  What
lies below, only Oracle knows.

Green is everywhere, and from all around is a twinkling in the scant light. Dew like clear gemstones falls like light rain from above. Whilst sounds are scarce, all emanate from below, where you can hear the gentle lapping of water and an occasional muted splash.  Few leaves seem to have made their way down here from the forested area above, outside the tunnel, and they grow more numerous the further you descend.  Accompanying sound is smell, and the scent here is of dampness and clean earth.  The little light you can still see above fails to make it much further than here, and only mystery and darkness proceed with you downward.

  Natural light absent, you see naught but mold and lichens of different shades growing here upon the damp cave walls.  Water drips steadily from stalactites above - some into a large, dark pool of water that extends to the west end of the tunnel.  Dead moss and leaves have massed below your feet, some floating on the surface of the water.  On closer inspection of the pool, a very dim light can be seen under leaves floating on the surface. The light hints that there may be more to its depths. To the southeast, stony walls appear to give way to earth and the deep, protruding roots of the growing
things above.

  The water you hear to the northwest makes this place damp, and the
dampness collects on the cool rocks and roots in and sticking out of the
slightly muddy earthen wall here, making everything you touch wet.  Weaving
in and out of massive roots that drop down from the ceiling and protrude
from the walls makes the passage in this area slightly more difficult than
other areas of the tunnels you've been to.  The stifled, wet crackling
beneath your feet with every step is from a thick bed of slowly rotting
leaves that have collected in this low place over the years; it smells musty
but clean, and is easily bearable.  From the south, a deep, bass rumble
hints at something moving - possibly alive.

  The air here is slightly humid, and dry leaves cover wet ones beneath
your feet.  Every time your foot comes down, life ripples around it.
Beetles, centipedes, crickets, and worms call this place home, and their
numbers are staggering.  At first only noticeable when you took a step, your
light now catches their shining backs on the walls and ceiling, and from
time to time, you see them fall down to the leaves below.  Spiderwebs fill
the spaces between roots and tiny stalactites, and the spiders that spin
them all work tirelessly to repair the damages to their webs inflicted by
the prey they've caught.  Occasionally, some small creature tries to crawl
up your leg, or falls unexpectedly into your hair.

  A few small insectoids skitter about here and there amongst mottled grey
leaves.  Leaves and the dried out carapaces of dead bugs are constantly
being caught in eddying breezes, like tiny, harmless tornadoes that spin in
ceaseless cycles - too gentle to do more than throw a rare speck of
something into an eye or lightly dirty a cloak.  A hint of light grows
slightly brighter to the southeast.

  The walls of this stretch of tunnel are smooth stone streaked in varying
shades of muted green, blue, and grey.  The floor is flat, if a little
bumpy, but of the same stone, and the only other thing you can see is tiny
debris blowing in from the northwest in the steady, decay-scented breeze.
Your clothes ruffle and flap in the wind, but it gives you no more trouble
than that.  Darkness looms to the northwest, and light to the southeast.
