"Just inside the door to Spira." That was what the note Riku'd sent everyone said. Close enough to the safety of the door anyone waiting could escape and just barely far enough in to satiate curiosity until the others arrived. Or at least his own curiosity.

So he'd thought.

He stood there, looking around in awe. At first glance he thought it had been night in this world, but as he examined his mysterious surroundings, he found no true stars amongst the shimmering lights. The forest itself was thick enough to blot out any sunlight, leaving the natural phosphorescence of the place to let newer growth emerge. Crystals and trees alike sprang from the earth to the point it became clear the growth was one and the same. The trees themselves seemed frosted in their own crystal. The trees twisted and intertwined amongst themselves to create eerie walkways through this serene place. Stranger still were the light trails that rose gently through the forest. It was as if the light from the crystals themselves simply rose away from their homes to create glittering ribbons stretched across the bows of the trees.

Riku leaned against the doorframe to wait, absentmindedly toying with his new keychain as he gazed at his surroundings.



[Yes, he's playing with a thick chain with an angry button attached to the end.]

Yorda had rarely been out of Paixao, and she'd never journeyed so far as this before. She'd followed Mao obediently out of the city, not really knowing what to expect - but then, she never did. Each day was still bright and new to her, causing her to regard each new experience with joy and wonder.

Now was no different. When they'd stepped into the woods, the princess stood wholly still, looking about her in awed silence. The city was gorgeous, but... truly, this was the most beautiful place she had ever seen. The girl looked straight up, hands clasped in quiet joy, a look of pure wonder lighting up her face. She was so enraptured, she simply couldn't speak.
