What are this?

there are no markings on her country roads no signs that show the way back home For a moment Otem was disappointed. She'd brought her hope to Rixen, and now they'd brought their collective hope(s) to this place of darkness and nothing had happened. All that Otem wanted to so since deciding to stay in the Rift, was to heal it. She'd done everything that it had asked, and yet still the darkness prevailed. She wanted to bang her hooves against the wall in anger, but even that she now knew would be impossible. Rixen was saying something, and for a moment she didn't even feel like listening; she only wanted to continue to wallow. But then he said something which struck such a profound chord within her mind, that her eyes snapped towards him so sharply that her forelock briefly covered her eyes. Shaking her head slightly to clear her vision, she found herself nodding as a smile spread across her lips. ..still leaves us with many questions "Yes, and at least one answer." She added taking a breath and then releasing it slowly. "We know that it's at least possible to touch the wall without being injured, and that the orbs of light seem to refuse to go in." Her slender shoulders rise and fall. "That's something at least?" Unlike her interactions with Raein, with Rixen she didn't feel as though she was being constantly the judged. The stallion seemed to have a way with words and expressions that didn't make Otem feel uncomfortable, or as if she was constantly being tested and adjudicated. She felt as though she could make mistakes in front of him, and not feel the worse for it (such as being spat out of a wall and falling to her knees).
