It felt as though my lungs were bursting. I was terrified, the forest was crowding in on me, darkly enveloping me in swirling mist. Suddenly I fell, sprawled messily on the dirt.

As I stared thoughtfully at the necklace, it began to glow with an iridescent silver light. The fear crept uneasily into my mind.
