When he stepped through, he found himself in a beautiful forest. The trees were singing and the birds were singing. The man felt a sense of peace and calm wash over him. He walked for hours, enjoying the scenery, until he finally found a clearing where he could sit and rest. As he was lying there, he saw a vision of his wife walking through the portal.
