| Serpent and cormorant become vine, creek, and tupelo root, all creeping toward the confluence of a hidden freshwater lens under the island forest, rejoining after an illusory separation. |
| In the ancient hollow oak that anchors the heart of the island, a slit at the base of the trunk is a gate of dreams and a door into the light. |
| The Path to the Moon shimmers away into a swarm of jellyfish that rise from the depths and drift out to sea. Trumpeting pitcher plants, glimmering sundews, and glowing waterlilies open the way to the Blackwater Journey through the quiet freshwater creeks. |
