The traveler emerged from the portal into a vast expanse of blinding white. But the whiteness was not empty. With each step, the gaze of thousands pressed upon them, suffocating like an invisible shroud.

The weight of unseen eyes grew heavier as the traveler pressed onwards, drawing them into the dark of their watchful gazes. However, resilient and determined they pressed onward, for going forward was the only path they knew.

Amidst the overwhelming darkness, a vibrant blue orb sprang to life. Dancing like a playful spirit, it bounced and swirled, before using the darkness to leap upwards and away from sight.

The choice was presented to the traveler, to always look for uncharted paths to explore, even within the heaviest of gazes.
