This time, the tunnel felt complete and secure, and it didn't dissolve. Still, the landing was rough, but not as rough as it could have been. Everyone landed safely on soft sand, near a large hill covered in desert plants and rocks.
Naomi dusted off her dress and curiously glanced around. They were indeed in a desert, but something seemed wrong somehow. They were surrounded by rocky hills on all sides except one, and in the distance, mountains and cliffs were visible. Large tumbleweed-like bushes grew apart from one another. There were tread marks in the sand, indicating the presence of vehicles and civilization. Of course, Naomi didn't know about quads and motorcycles at the time, but Zefyr pointed the tracks out and described to her what they were as they walked northeastward under the beating sun.
