The room is warm and comfortable. There is a haze of sunshine peeking through the window blinds. The furnishings are dark wood and rich deep colors-- nothing too bright or load. It feels like old money- velvety and cultured.

Large towering trees surround everywhere. Their foliage is thick and it blocks out the light so all is dark.

The path is well traveled but littered with broken tree limbs, leaves, holes in the path and it's quite narrow and winding.

A natural body of water, rapidly moving down the center-- a swift moving stream. The banks of the stream have still pools of water, seemingly untouched by the rapid water in the middle of the stream. The water is cool and inviting.

The still pools could represent recent periods of self-imposed inactivity.

The water vessel is old and rugged, made of leather and obviously a well used canteen.

The key looks like a small locket key or skeleton key-- something someone might use for a hope chest or small lock. I think it unlocks a small box.
