Naomi stepped out of the glowing save point, looking around at the newest world she had found herself in.  She stood on some sort of very large stone platform.  Ahead of her, and all around, was simply a massive area of sand.  The closest approximation she could think of was an ocean, just made out of sand.  Like that one time in Avatar.  The only things situated on the sand all around her were the platform she currently stood on and a few rock formations, though she noticed one had rails going all around it like some crazy roller coaster.  Far to her left, she could see the 'shore', meaning solid land instead of the shifting sands.  Glancing up at the glaring sun overhead, she pulled out her triangular shades.

"Great, now I'm gonna get sunburned.  Wish I'd brought some effing sunblock."

Turning around, she noticed the structure behind her.  Stairs led up to a second level of sorts, atop of which was what looked like a giant mechanical monster, its gigantic mouth closed on top of the stones, teeth like stalactites (stalagmites?  Whatever) ground into the stone.

"Cooool."

She wondered if this was some sort of boss monster, and if she'd get to fight it.
