The pools are the perfect temperature to dive down, down, down, down... there is no need for air, and there seems to be no pressure like in water. As you notice this, you suddenly crash through the surface! Though you never noticed any change in orientation, you are upright in a strange land.
Trees with green trunks burst out of somewhat lumpy ground and rise into the sky, spreading leaves in leaflets of three and showing enormous purple and white blossoms. Other trees have giant seeds at the top. When a bumblebee lands one one of the trees, you realize that it's a clover plant, and you are very small.
The dirt is trampled down in paths running north and south, and the magic pools remain behind you.
