bitomouse's Lair

Following the fungus that led you here, you come upon a dark pool. Around you the mushrooms and trees have grown over time to form a wall which shelters the area. A stone staircase lays awkwardly at the side of the pool, seeming to lead into, or out of it. The dark purple surface of the pool ripples, the vibration accompanied by a sound... muffled voices under the water? Is it even water?
