The light doesn't pierce the heavy overhanging trees in this near pitch black area of the swamp.  The water is extremely murky and there are occasional fins poking up from the water belonging to some kind of creature.  The air is thick and heavy and insects constantly buzz about.
Darkest part of the swamp, Swamp

insects
I am a insect that eats other insects. I have a simple mind. I do not know how to jump because my parents never taught me.
Bzzz, bzzz, to many flies, too many flies.... Well, flies I can do something about ... Oh! ugly creature, ugly creature! How rude.  Just because I don't look like you doesn't mean that I am ugly.  I am quite handsome to my own species. What are you, ugly creature? Oh, come on! Eight eyes, eight legs, lives on a web. Surely you can guess, little bug? Uh. uh...an octopus? Well, at least you got something with eight appendages! I'm sorry, I usually live in the castle. I suppose you don't get much chance to learn about things out here in the swamp. The castle? never heard of it. How did you get the this black murky swamp? Well, I was taking a nap in the stable and woke up here.  It's my own fault, I suppose, for falling asleep on a saddle.  I take it that you live here. Oh yes, at least for the last three days. Oh I've got it! you're a spider! Well done. Don't worry, I just ate. So, what happens in three days?
