The Middle Stratum

The mangrove forest appeared before me, spanning for miles below the chasm in a lush dense jungle that floated above the water. The forest was well lit, crystals dotted all over the cavernous ceiling illuminated the forest from above, their bright glow casting light over the forest canopy.

Below, the water shone brightly from the crystals in their sunken depths, illuminating the tuberous mangrove roots in green.

I stood warily over the edge of the cliff, observing the large forest below, before peering down at the cliff.

Unfortunately, I couldn't appreciate the spectacular scenery, because unlike before, my vision had improved, and I could now clearly see the massive monsters that were moving through the forest below.
