…
A land of gigantic mushrooms and and vines that reached to the sky and seemed to attach to the permanently cloudy sky.
natural pillars holding up the heavens.
And you started to see creatures begin to inhabit the lands.
The ground still kept its gray, but everything else seemed so normal.
You weren't sure how stable this ecosystem would be, or how long it would last.
But for now it was enough.
