The journey gave Eden his first real view of the world beyond his farm. As they flew, the landscape shifted dramatically. The plains of Macres gave way to the massive trees of Elenora's outer regions.
Eden stared in wonder. "The trees are huge." He was still shaken, being so high up in the air. Yet he forced himself to look. He wouldn't be the type of coward to close his eyes and hide from the entire trip. And so he looked. "Just how big do they get?"
Lumi gave a gentle smile. "This is nothing."
"Eoah." Eden was surprised. "Bigger than this?"
Lumi nodded. "Much bigger."
Eden continued watching with wide eyes as new sights appeared constantly. The vertical nature of Elenora's ecosystem fascinated him. Structures built into tree branches hundreds of meters in the air, bridges connecting platforms across massive gaps, with settlements existing in three dimensions rather than two.
Eden had to admit something. "This is incredible…"
