When we opened our eyes, we found ourselves not under the scorching desert sun, but in the midst of a strange and surreal realm.
The ground beneath our feet was a massive, circular landmass, suspended in the air. At its very center stood a colossal, pillar-like ancient building, shattered halfway as if struck by the wrath of a god, soaring toward the clouds.

The outside world consisted of, in the truest sense of the word, a vast nothingness.
Beyond this floating island and the ruin upon it, there was no other land in our field of vision. Only a bottomless, infinite blue stretched out.
The sky was even stranger; in place of the familiar sun, a black sun shone, casting a pale, sickly light upon its surroundings.
