The notches he'd left on the trees from the cave to the shoreline and back again were a good idea. They were distinct enough for him to identify by touch, his fingers tracing the grooves in the shape of a rough even in the dim light.
His commlink was dead, and while his torch still had some power, he didn't want to waste it in case he might need it in emergency.
When he finally finds the cave again, it's the light that catches his attention first. It's faint and flickering in the distance--
--Right. The well.
He's got a hand on his sidearm at that. The water only pulsed with light if touched. ]
