The room is small, and all the walls are lined with bookshelves. The shelves are filled with old books most of which haven't been read for a long time. The room is neither warm nor cold.
The forest is thick and dark. The trees are pine trees and aspens. There are many leaves and needles on the ground. It is autumn.
The path is straight and well-traveled. It does not deviate much to the right or the left, up or down. It moves on a level plane through the trees.
The path ends at a waterfall. The water falls from the left almost straight down. The waterfall is steep. The water is cold. Mist rises from the bottom and the bottom of the falls is not visible.
It is a wooden ladle. It is to be dipped in the water. Strangely, the only water accessible is the rushing waterfall. It would be difficult to get water using the ladle without losing the ladle.
The key is old. It is shaped like an old skeleton key. I have no idea whatsoever what it unlocks.
