The Haven
The Haven is the closest place you have to a home. The centre of the Haven is a large, expansive cavern, ceiling laden with stalactites. The ceiling glitters with bright, iridescent light, emitted from algae in the cave roof and scattered through multi-coloured crystal deposits. Towards the back is an entrance to a grotto filled with a large pile of rubble, the victim of time and erosion, smothering what lies beneath.
On one side lies a small chamber, leading out into darkness beyond. Outside, it is cold and unwelcoming. Strange noises can be heard from the mouth of the cave; the rustle of wind, the chirping and skittering of creatures, noises of the inhabitants of this world that are alien to you, the newcomer.
There are people in the Haven just like you. Each one is looking around and taking the world in for the very first time. This is your new home. What will you make of it?
