Forest Dweller

You begin to lightly tread through the forest. The elves have taught you how to make little to no sound even while walking atop crisp leaves. It is essential for survival, so you learned it at a young age.

As you continue walking, you notice the forest growing darker, even with the sun shining overhead. In the distance you notice a small mirage. Strange, you think. It isn't hot enough for there to be mirages, even small ones. You continue forward, but unlike normal mirages, these do not vanish as you draw nearer. Eventually you reach them, looking down at the puddly substance flowing across the ground. It reminds you of flowing, bubbling, shining metal. You leap over it and continue forward, only to notice that the liquid is slowly growing and heading towards you. You begin to run, only to be stopped by more liquid in front of you. You leap over it and continue running, feeling a droplet hit your skin. You wince, your skin sizzles for a moment before calming down and leaving a burn mark. Perhaps this is Elos's doing. One thing's for sure, you need to figure out an escape route soon. The liquid behind you is rising like a wave.
