Beyond the sky's mouth, when it has closed around her, lie the tops of many deep winding canyons, like a vast maze, extending out of sight to where haze clouds further vision; if those lost within were not already dead, and could not fly out nor climb up, they would have to fear starvation or the thirst-death long before they emerged.  Probably someone would come, though, if those within cried out loudly enough in boredom; not because there is a watch laid on this place, but just because somebody would be in earshot, and whoever heard would be friendly.
