Enekokoro's Hibernal Den

You hear water dripping from the path despite it not having rained for days. There must be a stream nearby with a slow waterfall. The sound is almost musical, in a way. You hum to keep your mind at ease. You've never heard this tune before, where did it come from? There's a presence nearby, but you cannot find it despite trying. You turn a corner and stumble on a gnarled root, almost falling right into a sudden spring. Gentle arms cradle you as your struggle weakens. When did you fall in?
