Tarak brought her to the end of the tunnel. Ahead, a meadow stretched out, green grass dotted with pink and purple wildflowers, and a silvery lake lapped gently against a soft, pebbly strip of sand at the waters edge. Pretty red, black, blue, and gold birds chirped cheerfully in the trees, and a blue and white striped garter snake slithered musically over the rocks that were in a pile at the edge of the trees that ringed the clearing. Beyond that, steep mountains with deadly cliffs rose up, creating a small oasis. A gurgling underground stream fed the lake, its musical voice singing over the rocks. In the distance, a blueish waterfall plunged thousands of feet off the edge of one of the cliffs. The sun shone softly, dappling on the warm ground. "What do you think?" Tarak whispered softly.
