When in doubt, forward is a good a place to go as any. Especially when exploring new areas. You'll never get anywhere if you just go backward.
Forward seemed to be the right choice, moss on the cave begins to glow a bluish green, and you save the energy of your light crystal for later.
The stupid whispering doesn't seem to stop though. "Hello?!" you yell. "Hello?!" you echo responds. "Hello" says another echo. Is it yours? You're not sure. What you are sure of is that you don't want to fall asleep in this cave.
After hours of walking, you manage to find a hidden cavern stowed away through a dark crevice. The glow in this area is a redder color than the rest of the cave. As curiosity takes hold of you, you see a woman sewing a cloth with her feet. A fire lights her work, but she does not seem to notice it.
Behind her is a carving of a dragon. You hide in the shadows as she peers in your direction. There is something off about her, that you didn't notice before. Her pupils are red. As she takes a whiff of the stale cavern air, you get a glimpse of her sharpened teeth.
"I can smell you." she says, as her places her needles and thread on the floor. "Come into my light so that we can talk. This cave is dangerous for the inexperienced explorer."
