I found myself standing in the midst of the astral world, a surreal and fantastical landscape. The vivid colors and strange, dreamlike creatures surrounded me as I wandered through the lush, yet disorienting garden. Bizarre plants twisted and reached toward the sky, and the air was filled with the sounds of unseen creatures.
No matter which direction I took, it seemed as if I was walking in circles as I found myself back with the frozen forms of Viracocha and Lian. The same peculiar plants and whimsical creatures appeared before me as if I hadn't even moved from my place. Frustration welled up inside me, and with a heavy sigh, I sat down on the soft, mossy ground. To my amazement, I realized that I hadn't felt hungry or thirsty since I arrived in this strange place, even though I was certain I had been here for three days.
