"This is weird," Muro said, looking around at their new surroundings.
"You can say that again," Mai said.
"This is really, really weird."
Muro and Mai climbed to the top of the hill that they had been standing in front of when the new landscape had first appeared. It wasn't a high hill by anyone's standards, but it was enough to sit on and look down on the landscape. And, for the moment, that was all the two of them needed.
The landscape itself was pretty flat, all except for the lone mountain off in the far distance. The mountain was tall and snowcapped, and Muro wondered what it would be like to climb that mountain. A few seconds later, Mai started climbing back down the hill. As if she had heard his thoughts, and wanted to see the view for herself. Muro followed her.
The being made of pink light followed both of them. Muro wondered for a few minutes what it was, then decided that it was probably more important to find out where they were than what was following them. The two of them made it to the base of the mountain, then realized that they had no realistic way for them to climb up it.
