Is That a…Wisp?

"Where…is this place?" Hazak was confused upon appearing in Layer 1, noticing that it was standing atop a tiny island situated in the center of a pond. The pond had crystalline water with a mild greenish-blue hue to it. 

Leaves danced across its surface while the sounds of birds chirping resounded throughout the place. Hazak looked around, seeing a thicket of trees surround the forest on all sides, with the canopy of trees being large enough to blanket out the sky. 

Each tree was spectacularly large. Hence, their canopy covered the sky atop the pond, preventing Hazak from seeing beyond. It didn't wish to take action immediately, wishing to wait for the others when suddenly, its heart thumped, causing the sounds to resound in its ears. 

And over time, the sounds were…increasing?
