I soon discovered that the ground quickly sloped away. Within feet, I would be over my head. Could I swim? I discovered that I could and enjoyed doing so. I enjoyed the dip, but I could not truly relax. Once I felt reasonably clean, I returned to the bank. I used a small towel from the backpack to dry and quickly dressed.

I once again continued towards the waterfall. Due to various impassable barriers, I actually reached the rock wall of the cliff some distance from the waterfall. As I followed it towards the waterfall, I found a natural overhang. As I stepped beneath the overhang, a flash of light caught my eye. Upon further investigation, I discovered a doorknob. I thought long and hard before reaching for the doorknob. Should I look around some more before trying the knob? After contemplation, I decided I was too impatient to return to reality to bother with exploration.

I turned the knob. I opened the door. With a tingle and whoosh, I found myself back where I had started in the reflective sphere.
