Ominous, but intoxicating strains of a slow, glowering synthesizer lures the explorer below the surface and into the dark, to emerge finally in the aquatic sanctum of a menacing, but fantastical sentry. Hypnotized by melodious meanderings and mesmerized by swirling eddies of glittering bubbles and golden motes, the wise traveller slowly senses the true muddiness of the water – in the mounting ambiguity of its sole denizen. Is its presence that of a malignant sphinx or a cryptic, but innocent nymph, a nightmarish ghoul, or a benign companion?

 

And what does that mean for the soul of our traveller?
