The lighthouse draft

As we made our way through the swamp, The water began to collect into a more narrow channels, and little by little form into a slow moving body of water. As we progressed and emerged to some higher ground which turned out to be the rim of an enormous canyon. There we huge waterfalls pouring water down into the canyon and water flowing by us briskly. Father led us along, close to the cliff walls and near the bottom of one of the waterfalls was an entrance to a cavern. Mist made by the waterfall water was everywhere, making it even more difficult to see through the darkness, despite our torches still burning brightly. Father led us through the cavern and we emerged from one of the cavern caves and from there could see a tall narrow stairwell built inthe rock. When we reached the top, we could hear waves crashing. There was a vast ocean and up ahead a soaring lighthouse. Behind us was a barren landscape with deep, dark, bottomless chasms cutting through the earth. Without looking back again we proceeded to the lighthouse.
