I’m where you sleep under stars, cook on fire, and wake up to birds. No hotel, no wifi, just nature. What am I?

A natural hole in the wall, or a void buried and warded A site of memory for time before history recorded

This four letter word can be an animal, but you might also use a wax version of me to close a letter. I can sometimes be airtight, or you might even talk about a lab being hermetically ____ed

I am an armoured army of thousands, standing on a single leg and blindly chasing a golden god. When youth leaves me, my neck stiffens into a permanent morning prayer, and my heavy head bows to yield a bounty of black-and-white shields. What am I?

I am a vast, unpredictable force that can swallow you whole if you step into my depths unprepared. Many fear my dark undercurrents, and the government keeps a strict, public registry of those who navigate my waters. I am filled with bottom feeders, and once you are caught in my wake, your life will never be the same.
