The hall expanded impossibly, defying all physical laws as the interior revealed itself to be vastly larger than the exterior suggested.

The second mountain was a marvel of water, a crystalline structure where torrents of liquid spiraled upward in impossible waterfalls, the entire peak shrouded in mist that sparkled with rainbow light.
