Pit

Nora kept to the shadows, careful to not bring the attention of any Morlok to her. This part of the "city" was circular, like a disk, held up by natural rock pillars. In the centre was a pit, also circular. She couldn't go close to it in fear of catching someone's attention, but she could see the edges were not the same material as the rock around it. It was more clean, polished, like red marble but not. It was clear to her even from this distance that it was not made by Morlok hands. A glow emanated from within the pit, like a swirling, luminous gas. There was an otherworldly smell about it, almost ozone but different. Nora could hear a faint echo in the back of her mind.

"Come. To. Us."

She almost felt compelled to follow, to obey the command, but it was just a whisper and it had no power over her. Was this coming from the pit? She was sure that if she were to jump into the pit there would be no coming back.

There was nothing else of note here. There are exits North, East, and West.
