The pathway to the flickering lights brought Eren down, deep down. He couldn't have possibly counted the steps he took to move forward towards the light that didn't seem to be getting any nearer. In a way it was frustrating, but it also gave him time to breathe the air of the cave, feel the solid earth about him, have his eyes adjust to the striations of the lovely patterns in the rock waving him downwards. Veins of crystal appeared, reflecting the light... and perhaps explaining why it had taken so long for him to approach the light. The crystal grew, its waves riding larger, like white foam of the ocean on dark sand. He reached a point, deep inside, where the darkness was almost alight with the glow from the veins of rock, which took up the vast majority of the sandstone he stood within.

He rounded a corner... and then another, and came face to face with the source of light. It was a glowing crystal pillar etched with runes he'd never seen. It pulsated with a light that was neither akin to the suns, nor resembling any sort of magelight or artificial light he'd ever seen. It was almost as if he was looking into the light of a... soul.

Words boomed into the chamber around him, reflecting sound off stone and seemingly filling him rather than just letting him hear them with his ears. "Avaeklsi. Wov seuvalisa abvisa ti owvi daveasnaaii?" The question... for decidedly it was a question, filled his awareness. Though the words were foreign, the meaning was somehow clear to him. Approach. Tell me of who you are. There was nothing else in the chamber which housed the pillar. There was just thick veins of the same stuff circling around him, glowing, all echoing the question. "Tell me of who you are." It was a song sung in the voice of a forgotten God or an ancient creature so far removed from the world that no one remembered its name.

If Erenthril were to turn a circle, studying the entire room before he answered, he'd find his way in gone. The walls were solid, and the air think with the musk of Telath... the rich scent of her soil.
