The Black is the very dark area directly preceding the Ruins. It is inhabited by a few monsters, none of which attack, and towards its end has a bed of flowers, with a light shining from above. Seemingly, the light is from the surface, and the flowerbed would catch anyone who fell. The Dark Gives off a feeling of wonder, and yet a feeling of danger as well. As if waiting in the dark is a monster that could tear a person apart.
