For a brief moment, darkness swallowed their vision.
When their sight returned, they found themselves standing on what looked like a floor of water—yet it wasn't water at all. The surface was solid and transparent, like glass, but beneath it…
Clusters of brilliant, star-like points shimmered, scattered endlessly below them.
The team froze, instinctively looking down, afraid their feet might slip through.
"The stars… we're standing on the stars?!" Har, the fatty, cried out, jumping in surprise.
Dar smacked him on the back of the head, as usual.
"Shut up, and look above."
Rubbing his head with a sheepish grin, Har tilted his gaze upward.
"Oh… I see. The stars on the floor are just the reflection of the sky."
A vast dark expanse stretched overhead, filled with constellations too brilliant, too alien, to belong to their world.
