Alice, so used to following her companions, didn't realize she'd wandered off until the fog curled around the forest.
The others were gone. She was a little nervous--she hadn't been alone since she'd woken up. No matter what happened, Lucian, Merry, and now Cadrel were often nearby.
Hopefully they'll catch up soon...I don't really have much magic to speak of...
There was no telling how the Vale measured distance, or why it decided to separate them. Alice decided the best way to proceed was to be cautious. One wrong step and she could end up lost for years.
She stopped walking when she saw a door. It was small, set into a wall that hadn't been there before. Or at least...she was pretty sure. It was painted a pale blue and there was a bit of rust on the handle.
It looked familiar, but not to her.
Ah. Rosa must have seen a door like this.
She reached a gloved hand out, but didn't have to.
The Vale opened it for her.
