After a good night's sleep, the next day a group of travelers arrived at the shore of Lake Naqushi and boarded a local, native-style yellow rock carved boat. With the rower pushing the oars slowly, they set sail towards the center of the lake.
The boat under them was crafted from the local shimmering rock, rugged in style with numerous tiny, honeycomb-like holes on its surface, rough to the touch yet slightly warm. As for why a boat made of shimmering rock could float on the lake, that's because the lake was filled, not with water, but with a dense liquid as black as asphalt.
This black liquid was quite viscous. The surface of the lake was colder and harder to push through, while the liquid beneath was much warmer with better fluidity, allowing the boat to glide across the lake.
