>Head toward the flowers. They take more water, right?
>You head towards the flowers, hoping to find water.
>After a minute or two of walking, the flowers are all over, and there's only enough just enough trees to keep away an unobstructed view of the sky.
>As you walk further ahead, the flowers seem to start becoming... different. They turn from soft-looking and soothing into a more striking and vigorous manner, and shift to colors like red and brown and black. Just being around them makes you feel like you've got the energy to punch someone in the face.

>Keep going. Look around at what is in the distance.
>This isn't CHENERGY, this is BYAKURENERGY!
>You keep going, and the flowers continue to change into more aggressive-looking shapes. You swear those leaves look like swords and daggers...
>In the distance, you see an exceptionally large tree. It dwarfs the other trees in comparison. However... you can't quite see it very well. It's almost as if the tree is surrounded by a strange mist.
>A bit aways from the giant tree, there is also a spot that's so fuzzy to your eyes that you can't tell what's inside it at all.

>Examine one of these sword flowers.
>The flower itself is very narrow and blood red, with long petals jutting forward in a rigid shape. It doesn't look friendly. The leaves are similar, but bigger and even more stiff looking. They're about a foot tall where you stand, but the ones closer to the giant tree seem to be progressively higher.
>The flowers and their leaves don't actually cut you as you've been walking through them, thankfully; but the ones close to the giant tree do look rather vicious...

>Keep going, but stop before getting to the really nasty-looking ones. Or is the plants start to get more rigid than is comfortable.
>You keep walking through the field of violent flowers, drawing nearer to the giant tree and the strange mist around it.
>As you get closer, you can see a bit easier through the mist; but you also become more sure that it isn't any ordinary kind of fog. It's not really a physical thing, it's just... there. Or maybe the fog/mist/distortion is more of a not-there?
>You think you could get just about up to the strange fog around the tree safely. There's also the very thick area of mist a bit aways from the tree; you're not too far from it now.

>Angle toward the thick mist. It seems interesting.
> Proceed with caution.
>You cautiously head towards the thickly misted spot. As you get closer, you start to make out something inside it; a cottage, perhaps?
>As you reach the edge of this thick mist, you notice that it has a rather defined line where it suddenly ends. Right now, you stand just a foot away from the strange mist, looking at what quite surely seems to be a house of some kind that's in the middle of it.

>It not, gingerly touch it.
>You reach towards it; the air nearby seems fairly normal.
>So, you decide to touch the mist. It feels as if your hand has entered a bubble... of emptiness. And this isn't the normal kind of emptiness with regular air. This is advanced emptiness.

>Take a deep steadying breath, and step onwards.
>You take a deep breath, preparing yourself before stepping into the strange mist!
>As you enter, suddenly the building inside the mist snaps into focus. Now you can easily see that it's a small little house... floating in midair. As now, you also see that there isn't any ground here. Thankfully the weightlessness this space bestows means you're okay regardless.

>Uwaaa... really, is obeying the Laws of Physics too much to ask of this place?
>You attempt to move through the air, and find you can do so... albeit awkwardly. The house isn't very far at all, just a few feet, and before long you manage to flail yourself over to the front door.

>After a moment, it opens to reveal an old woman standing in the doorway, noting to yourself that inside the house seems to be very much not weightless.
>"Oh, a visitor... how uncommon. Well then, come in, dear."
>With that, the old lady turns around and starts walking into the house, leaving the door open behind her.

>You grab the doorframe, and pull your weightless body inside the house. You fall on the floor softly as you enter, THERE'S GRAVITY AGAIN THANK GOD.
>The old lady sits down in a wooden rocking chair, next to a table; other then this, the room seems fairly bare. There is, however, a door likely leading to another room.
>"It's no problem, dear. I don't get visitors often; everyone nowadays is in Universe, and other dimensions are just so lonely!" She sighs, and begins to rock back on worth a bit in her chair.
