Shattered, If You Could Be Someone Else

We finally walked out of the stretching forest, but the landscape in front of us was shattered. Massive and small rocks of all sizes floated ahead, and they were not still.

Rocks that looked like they were moving slowly were constantly bumping together and bubbling up from somewhere below like a slow-moving fountain. There was no way that we were going to pass through this area.

"What is the plan now? Is there some way around this broken fountain or landscape?" I asked Mex, but he didn't look back at me and walked to the edge instead.

"We need to eat, and the only edible thing is on the other side of this. It is far worse than it seems, look," Mex said and then pointed at two huge rocks about to collide, and they did, but the effect was not what I had expected.

They just bounced off each other and didn't even chip. I walked up to the edge and stuck my hand out to touch one of the passing rocks.
