Bluish light. The tale of the winter forest

It was the time to move ahead.
But was a way from the dark cave?
Nils rose the torch and looked on flame.
It danced, diverging gently back.
The guy checked then what was behind:
there was impassable steep climb.

They fell from one... But the light warp
was showing them the other way.
Nils grabbed Bee's hand and went onward.
She didn't keep up with him. Her leg
was aching. Nils slowed down. They walked
the passage step by step. It sloped.

They had been moving not so long,
when noticed a faint light ahead.
The friends had quickened pace. A hole
was not so far. The dying flame
of the old torch gave way to glow,
colored in blue. The friends went on...
