Tea had been thinking lately about space exploration. It was thanks to Almadel that she'd been thinking about it a lot lately. And the teenage chibi senshi couldn't help but wonder, was there something she was missing?
Could she and her sister also space travel? Tea had been sitting on a tree branch in the park looking up at the stars. When a sudden thought crossed her mind. "What if . . . I can get to Tea?"
She jumped down from the branch and set down on the ground. Closing her eyes she focused on trying to get to space. "There's got to be a way to ge---"
She froze as a thought crossed her mind and she relaxed suddenly feeling herself yanked from where she was.
"WAHHHH!!" She found herself in a strange new world feeling a bit queasy from the sudden jump. Looking around the world was still, sun bright. Tea was shielding her eyes as she sat in a field. The grass glittered in the sun but it felt empty and lonely.
The expanse as she was sitting looking, was huge. The grass seemed larger too she noticed as she looked around. Like it needed to be mowed? But she couldn't explain it.
"Is this . . . Tea?" She said softly to herself as she looked around standing up. She noticed what looked like a small clearing with some sort of buildings. The chibi senshi moved towards what she could only call a village. Noticing how large the plant life was here. She felt very small, almost mouse like.
"This place is creepy. It should be so full of life from the way it looks. . . but there's nothing . . . here." She said softly as she walked through the grass. The travel took a little bit as the village was further than she realized.
She was trying to see if she could get the lay of the land as she walked, if there was water or what land marks could be around, she noticed mountains in the distance. Though she didn't know which way that was. Tea made a mental note to check if she had a compass somewhere before she came back or to check her senshi phone?
If she didn't have one there maybe someone had an update with it? At least she hoped they did.
When she reached the village she was looking around it too was void of all life and silent, still. Not even the wind seemed to blow on her planet and she frowned. How did it exist if the wind wouldn't blow? Was there any weather here ever beyond sun? Or what about nightfall? Tea had many questions.
She was looking at the buildings most made of natural materials like muds and fabrics she didn't see anything that resembled the homes from Destiny city that she was use to.
She held the hem of her skirt as she walked through the silent town. Finally finding a building curious enough, it was large and dome shaped. Probably the largest building of all of them. Some writing was on the wall though she couldn't read it.
The chibi senshi entered the building looking around it appeared as if there were items on display, something like a collection? She slowly walked through the building and it's displays though it seemed lots of items were missing or perhaps they had fallen apart over the years? Tea looked on curiously.
One item in particular caught her attention though as she was wondering. In the center of the domed room was what appeared to be a map, not a complete world map but it was a map regardless. There was placing for something small, she could see round spots where things could be placed. She couldn't help but wonder what belonged there as she hovered her hand over the clearly ancient map.
"I wonder, if I should look for the pieces that go here -- but then again. I don't know where to start." She mused as she took out her senshi phone and took a couple of pictures of the map. "I wonder why it's not a whole world map."
However, the chibi senshi as she studied the artifacts in the room soon came to realize she didn't bring any snacks or drinks for this adventure. "Ohh I'm totally not prepared to stay here and I don't think there's any food that would be in a place like this."
Tea frowned, "I wonder. . . how do I get home?" She walked back outside looking up towards the sky before closing her eyes. "I doubt being Dorthy and clicking my heels would work . . . " She mused as she thought about the city and going back to the place she came from.
Which another sudden motion and she found herself wrinkling her nose from the jolt. "Ugh, going to have to get use to that." She said softly as she opened an eye to find herself back in the park she'd left. "I'll be more prepared to go back next time." She said softly heading home for the night.
