Welcome to Gaia! ::

((That's fine, im sure I'm far worse than you!))

Leah returned a smile when he gave her his name. Konrado she repeated to help it stick to her memory. With a definite yes in sign language, Leah happily grasped hold of her motocycle handles and walked alongside it as she pushed. "Please follow me" she said, "it's not far from here". During their short walk for about five or ten minutes Leah made small talk, occasionally remembering a building and pointing it out for interest if Konrado would ever be interested. As she neared her location she said "I was once a student here, though I never attended Merlin. I wasn't gifted with the arcane - but that never stopped me from experimenting". They took a right down a gap between two high buildings. The floor was made of smooth light stone, and the path sloped down a little before turning left and going beneath a pathway above them. Eventually they came to another opening. It was a small cranny, but it was well kept. Along the white stone wwalls of the surrounding buildings were small shrubs, growing out of long white pots hanging at shoulder height. Above them was the clear open sky, the sun was just able to squeeze down through the gap between the buildings. In front of them was a fountain built into the wall. Engraved with the fountain was a set of patterns as well as a clear gem at the top, just above where the water gushed out. It was wrapped with what seemed like two sculpted feathers.
Leah pushed her vehicle against the wall beside her, there was just about enough room for the two of them plus that beside her. "Sorry about the squeeze" was all she had to say for the moment. Leah waved a hand over the fountain and muttered something under her breath, an ancient arcane spell. A simple one, but not a commonly known incantation. As she did the crystal turned sapphire and the water stopped . The sound of grinding stone could be heard as the fountain began to descend into the floor. It revealed a doorway of water. It was perfectly still and there was seemingly nothing behind it. Looking around one last time Leah made sure they were alone, "Okay, follow me. I promise there's nothing nasty on the other side." Vehicle first, she pushed through the water, it rippled around her until becoming motionless again once she had passed through.

The other side was nothing like the city. Her bike's wheels rolled over lush green grass, Leah took in a breath of the fresh air and brushed herself down, relieved to find that she was perfectly dry. Behind her she saw the air ripple just as Konrado passed through. Directly beneath him was a round platform of white stone, engraved with patterns and a sapphire in the centre. The portal closed promptly behind him. "Welcome to the Gardens of Sapphirel" Leah announced, looking around and taking it all in for a moment. For miles there was nothing but hills and grass, flowers were dotted about the place too. In the distance there was a forest, unmistakably the Enchanted Woods. She let out a sigh of relief and began to explain what she knew about the place, "this place is like a version of Entei as if the city didn't exist. As if nothing man had ever done had happened. A natural, clean slate if-you-will. Merlin made it for his lover, or so the tales go. Not many people know how to get in, and most magic is nullified here. We're safe to relax for now"
