What came next, was an out of body experience she could only describe as trippy. She floated upwards, higher and higher drifting up from her now bloated body. She could see the entire cave, and even through it. The nest she had been reborn in. Some sort of odd cavern - a creation of another human after being reborn here? Deeper still, was a large green stone, inside of it another red crystal. Two smaller red lights appeared, and then were absorbed and quickly grew to accommodate their sizes. Then nothing but rock as she was taken higher, followed by daylight. A deep forest, and slowly rising cliffs growing steeper and steeper until they were mountains. Higher still, she was above the clouds now. Smoke trails rose into the air, buildings of wood and stone could be seen in the distance some ways from the cave. Civilization? And somewhere to the east, a large, glimmering sea beat against the shore. Higher and higher, to the south was a vast desert and canyons gouged into the earth like an old scar. Windstorms swept across the sand, sweeping up everything in their path. Further east, a bright light shone the way forwards. A grand, massive city stretched for miles could even be seen, and the north a mighty tree grew far into the heavens. Was this the world she had been reincarnated in? She was high - so high now, she should be in the vacuum of space. It was so beautiful, this world. So pretty, and ripe with life...and filled with the same humans, no doubt. Would it be any different from her previous life, she wondered?
