Warning: This chapter contains a slightly off-putting scene, just skip past the text between the ***** if you're uncomfortable with the MC doing reckless imaginary first aid and/or suspicious body modifications.
If one were high above the body of water that Kothar was currently stranded in, they would be able to see a small black dot, barely visible against the gentle waves, crookedly limping across the great expanse.
Higher still, the dot would be miniscule, barely visible, and one would begin to see the edges of the water, forming an oval shaped lake within the dark earth that surrounded it. If one were to look even beyond this, they would start to see the true nature of the world Kothar was in, seeing for the first time something recognizable as life.
