Something was different

Nora walked back the way she came, but strangely enough the way was different than before. The huts weren't there, and only the statues remained, still dizzyingly tall and stoically staring off into space. She quickened her pace, soon reaching the rift which she crossed earlier, but the bridge wasn't there, nor to her horror was the other side. The rift was infinitely wider, the edge going down in a sheer drop. Nora's heartbeat began to beat like mad, reacting to this sickening unnaturalness. She dropped a pebble into the pitch darkness. She never hear a noise coming back. She gulped. What was she to do now?

Nothing left but to head on further North.
