Trial in the Astral World

Astral World.

Opening his eyes, Lith saw himself back in the world of gray. He was in a forest and it looked as lifeless as always.

Having the coordinates as a guide, Lith started walking and after what felt like half a day, he finally arrived at his destination.

There was a small cave in front of Lith that appeared as ordinary as it could. Nothing about it seemed special and if Lith hadn't known that the coordinates led to this place, he wouldn't even have noticed it.

Lith entered the dimly lit cave and walked for a while. As he did so, he noticed some strange patterns, they were really faint, but they were present.

One such thing he noticed was that there were exactly three pebbles on the ground at an interval of a hundred metres. Many such similar patterns appeared at various intervals and they didn't go unnoticed as well.
