Haley

Quoting:

The world known as Haley is a famous Nhihn hub in the Mirrorsky, not because of its importance or the amount of people that travel through it every day, but because of its size. Because it's very small. In fact, it's so small, that it takes you about an hour to walk through it from one to the other, which TIME did immediately once they got to hear this. After spending half an hour trekking through the densely populated hub city they arrived to the world's edge.

Tyroth: Wow.

Where the world ended, nothing started. And it looked like soup.

As Haley lacked any centralized government (too small to sustain life on its own, too important to be controlled), nobody had ever gotten around into making safety wall in between themselves and the abyss, so now, when you got to the edge of the city you got an impression that a giant had been a nibbling on a big chocolate cookie to leave the middle alone but with frayed edged formed by teeth marks, and with crumbs lying every around it. And then he'd dropped everything into a bowl of soup.

Above them was a normal night sky. Well, almost normal. There wasn't any sun moving (obviously, that was why it was night), but the stars were also strangely devoid. Only a twin pair at the very eclipse could be seen. And there wasn't even a single cloud anymore. Fact is that Haley was extremely dry. All water had to be imported from neighborhood worlds.

But what was strange was the night outside city. Elias immediately named it "Night Soup" in his mind. It kind of looked like the night above them, but it was odd. Chunks of earth and stone was slowly floating in it, and somehow, it felt odd, wrong. Not absent of life (although certainly that too), but absent of context.

Kay: Those rocks. What are those? Chunks of Haley that has broken loose from the mainland?

Alan: ...Perhaps Haley wasn't always this small.

Elias picked up a rock from the ground and threw it at the Night Soup. At first it flew normally, but the moment it passed the border between city and night, it slowed down and lost its inertia and color. It started to slowly float away, but somehow, Elias felt as if it wasn't the same stone anymore. It lacked context.

Elias: Let's get out of here. This place gives me the creeps and we're wasting our time staring at soup.

Tyroth: Soup o.O?
