As soon as Desmond's body passed through the portal, his surroundings blurred momentarily. When his vision regained clarity, he was greeted by a gentle breeze rustling through the air, and an expanse of vibrant blue stretched across the sky above.
Perched atop a rocky structure on higher ground, Desmond's gaze descended upon a dense jungle below. His eyes narrowed as he surveyed the lush wilderness, his view hindered by the thick foliage that enveloped the entire island, leaving no trace of open space.

"Fascinating," Desmond mused aloud, his words intermingling with the steady drip of water and the melodious symphony of a nearby flowing river.
