Sustainable Transmutations The Traveler Part 4

Having traversed much of the cave, the Traveler noticed the path was inclining. The torches, which hung periodically on the cave walls, created light and dark areas. Light, dark, light, dark... He found himself running leisurely, the illuminating transition creating a strobe effect that caused the Travelers’ mind to turn back to his experiences in the Centaur's cave. His time there had seemed like an eternity. Each day, the Centaur drew him deeper into the cave, towards its belly, where the shadows held sway and the light waned. Finally, there were no more shadows – just the dark wet. At first, he could only crawl around on his hands and knees, but gradually, a subtle inherent luminance was revealed.
