"Beautiful," Erik said, taking in the alien landscape. The morning dew that clung to the leaves and branches made the vegetation shimmer under the few sun rays that got through the thick and giant canopy above, and the bark of the massive trees sparkled with crystalline water formations that formed during the night's cold. There was a lot to see.
The beauty made his time on Mur more bearable.
"It is different from Mannard. The colors, the shapes of the vegetation... The scale of it. Even the way light filters through these leaves is unlike anything back home."
This was because the trees on Mur were all colossal, towering hundreds of meters into the sky. Their massive trunks and dense canopies created patterns of light and shadow that Erik had never seen in the relatively smaller forests of Mannard.
