Welcome to Gaia! ::

“I can only assume so…” Einhornhohle walked over to pick up a few branches and move them into a pile. “I’ve only been to one other Knights wonder, a Cosmos Knight like us, but their wonder was vastly different than my own that…” her words trailed off as if she thought better than continuing with that train of conversation.

“If your wonder wasn’t like this the last time you visited, then I can only imagine the damage done to mine.” When she took Kiringul there months ago, they had discovered an area where the ground beneath several trees had caved in. She’d thought it might have been a sink hole of sorts but upon further investigation when she had returned on her own a month or so later, it appeared that there was a tunnel beneath them that had collapsed.

She recalled from memories of a past lie that there were three gateways; one now obstructed, one by sea which she knew of from when Sava, then Cavansite, had been to her world, and the last she had yet to locate. However, with the disaster that had run through Sava’s world, Einhornhohle had to wonder if she’d even be able to access her own code piece.

She sighed, shook her head and turned her focus back to Sava; these thoughts and concerns were something best left for later.

“Don't worry, I’ll help you figure out how to to fix this later,” she placed a comforting hand on her friends shoulder. “The Code had mentioned that you needed to clear your mind to feel a pull; trust that the Code has given you the strength and focus you need to find a path.” It felt wrong to offer such advice since Ein did not particularly like no respect the Code. But for Sava’s sake, she would try to trust the process.

Times like this Ein actually kind of missed the dress she wore as a Page, it was easy enough to remove and had a cute pair of undergarments that doubled as swimwear. But with how unpredictable things were with their wonders, it wasn’t worth the risk of drying off by powering down. So, for now, Ein removed her shoes and gathered her skirts before continuing on after Sava.

“Unfortunately I can’t see anything, so you’ll need to lead the way for us.” She dipped her toes into the water and felt a sudden shiver race through her. Chilly was a bit of an understatement but Einhornhohle often preferred heated pools and long hot baths at home compared to open water.

She was such a wuss when it came to cold…

“Right,” Einhornhohle took her hand “Together. Which is why I’d probably advise against one, or both, of us powering down. I don’t want to accidentally be seen as someone not a Knight and be kicked back to Destiny City and end up leaving you here alone.” That would be a bit of a disaster.

“At least it is warm weather, I think we should be able to dry off quick enough.” Although her skirts still got dipped in water in a few places where the river was at its deepest, her shoes at least remained dry. “If not, then we’ll have to borrow someone’s hot tub when we get back.” Einhornhohle winked at Sava with a playful smile. Though, it didn’t sound like a bad idea either.

“That was surprisingly easy,” Einhornhohle leaned over and picked up a shard of stained glass then looked up at the skeletal structure of the stone gazebo. Her expression seemed somber as she raised the fractured piece up, squinting as if she were trying to figure out if the dome had a design to it or if it was perhaps a kaleidoscope of color.

“I’m saddened that whatever moved through here also succeeded in destroying this magnificent piece of architecture as well.” Undoubtedly, it must have been a sight to behold from afar, or even more dazzling up close, with a myriad of colors shimmering down on anyone standing beneath it.

She looked then at Sava with a softened expression, humbled by the fact that the Code on the Moon hadn’t led her friend astray and that they had managed to find what they were looking for without much difficulty. “I suppose the next step now is for you to meditate with it.”

It was perhaps a blessing that Einhornhohle had stayed near Sava when she began her resonance. One moment she was standing still as if she were meditating or in prayer, and the next her body became limp, as if all life left her but Einhornhohle quickly realized after lowering Sava to the ground carefully, that she was sleeping soundly.

“Something the code should have possibly warned us about.” She commented quietly, concern furrowing her brows at the realization Sava might have landed on glass shards had she not been there to catch her before she fell.

Einhornhohle remained mostly still, with the exception of carding slender fingers through Sava’s rainbow-colored bangs as she rested soundly with her head in Ein’s lap. She knew that Sava was not in any danger when the glass around them faded and appeared in the dome above them like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle forming a complete picture.

Then, when the code piece began to glow brightly, her friend was finally released from her meditative state and looked up with wonder and curiosity. “It seems so,” she replied in quiet amazement at seeing a part of her wonder repair itself.

“How are you feeling?” She asked, looking down at Sava with a concerned expression.

Einhornhöhle took hold of Sava’s hand, “food sounds amazing right now.” As did a leisurely walk to stretch her legs after sitting for so long. “Although, I might need an energy drink or coffee to stay awake though unless we get a few hours of rest before attempting to access my Wonder,” she added with an apologetic grin.
