Welcome to Gaia! ::

Three children burst from the portal and stopped short. Celebor, Serenity, and Skye all stood only a few feet into the world of the Four Lands and stared out at the beauty of the valley. None of them had seen nature like this before - even out at their home, the inn, there wasn't this much space.

Skye of course had seen it before, but she hadn't paid attention to it at the time. Coming here the first time, she had been inside Kara's travel bag; going home, she had been very badly homesick and not paid any attention to it at all.

Only a moment after they entered, their nako stepped through, followed by Elnara, who was holding Lore by the hand. Elnara's eyes grew bright as she gazed across the valley, and she tightened her grip on Lore's hand, giving it a little squeeze.

"Welcome to the Borderlands," she murmured to him.

Elnara took a deep breath of the fresh air, and she couldn't help but nod agreement at Lore's comment.

"Yes," she murmured with a wide smile, giving his hand a little squeeze. "It is like coming home."

Storm and Starr weren't looking so much at the landscape as they were at the sky. One of them was on each of Elnara's and Lore's shoulders, and they were holding onto them with one hand, and with their other hands were reaching out towards the sky.

Celebor, Skye and Serenity all took off towards the houses in the distance, beckoning for their nako to follow.

Lore took a deep breath in, taking in everything around him. It wa to him an amazing sight to behold.

"So..." he murmured watching the twins curiousity, "Where to?"

Lore nodded, squeezing Elnara's hand gently, "I understand, I think... I'll be okay."

He thought it would refreshing though to be able to joke with someone. Even though he didn't know when was the last time he joked.

"Mommy! Come on!" Celebor hollered, hands cupped around his mouth, from where he stood beside his grandmother on the porch. "We wanna go in!"

Elnara laughed and waved. "We'll be there in a minute, have patience," she called back - though she did pick up her pace a bit.

Elnara grinned, but she was blushing faintly. "It's not my fault, I swear!" she retorted, poking at his side. "I had no idea they would be coming here, I never found out until they were back! Although to be honest," she admitted, "I'm surprised Celebor never tried to come on his own. I had always seen him as the adventurous one of the three."

She reached up and prodded Storm, who was on her shoulder. "I wouldn't put it past these two to try go on their own once they're tall enough to reach the door handle, either," she commented as they arrived at the porch.

"Not because though," he murmured to her, "Because they are adventurous, they are far, far more curious than any parent would deem safe," he laughed a bit.

It was true though about Celebor he though as they reached the porch, but he thought, Celebor was a good kid, he would no do anything, or try not to do anything his mother wouldn't approve of.
