...Humans, animals, and plants found themselves on a new, enormous planet.
Gerda awoke on soft grass. She opened her eyes and saw a blue sky above her, with fluffy white clouds floating across it. Tall trees with thick green foliage grew around her. The air was clean and fresh. Gerda sat up and looked around. She was in a clearing surrounded by forest. Agatha and Shi lay beside her, also unconscious.
Gerda stood up and walked over to Agatha. She touched her shoulder, and the old woman opened her eyes.
— Where are we? — Agatha asked, looking around.
— I don't know, — Gerda replied. — But it seems we're safe.
— Where's Shi? — Agatha asked.
Gerda turned and saw Shi sitting on the grass, leaning his back against a tree. He was pale and looked very weak.
— Shi, how are you? — Gerda asked, approaching him.
— I... I'm alright, — Shi whispered. — What... what happened?
— I don't know, — Gerda replied. — But it seems Goddess Jizi reborn the planet.
— Goddess Jizi? — Shi repeated. — Who is that?
— It's a mechanical cat that swallowed the entire planet and all its inhabitants, and then breathed us back out, — Gerda explained.
— Sounds crazy, — Shi said.
— It is, — Gerda agreed.
— What happens now? — Agatha asked.
— I don't know, — Gerda replied. — But I think we need to find other survivors and figure out what happened.
— I agree, — Agatha said.
They helped Shi to his feet, and together they walked deeper into the forest.
