Everywhere she turned the fog seemed to envelop her. The cold, damp rock floor of the unknown place felt unrelenting and severe. Even thought she had never been to this place before, there was a crushing familiarity that she couldn't place at first. Where was she? Why did she feel like she had been there before?
