The portal twisted and turned, giving Astaroth and Phoenix a slight headache and minor nausea, but it quickly receded once they were out of it.
Looking around themselves, Astaroth was already confused, and Phoenix was flabbergasted.
They had landed in a forest of some kind, but the scenery was so different, it looked like they were in a different world, where the normal laws of nature didn't apply.
The tree had trunks of transparent crystal, where a clear blue sap was visibly travelling, slowly. There were some on the ground, which was a myriad of different colours of dirt, and others floating sluggishly through the air.
Birds with bodies of vibrant colours flew around, catching their attention almost immediately with their anomalous morphology.
Some were flying around fast, with elongated bodies, almost like cranes. Others were round and bloated, flying about slowly, like bubbles in the wind.
