(Gonna assume everyone else comes with unless they say otherwise. Gotta get moving.)
Jaden, finding himself suddenly alone with the rear guard, follows hurriedly.
After everyone has moved over the threshold, the party begins marching again, escorted by the soldiers. As they move away from the surrounding rocks at the mushroom ring, Koi and Espada find that much like the soldiers, this new landscape seems only to be detectable by their unaugmented senses. The only splashes of color in the silvery, misty forest are the occasional glowing mushroom or flower. The laughter and singing never seems to get closer but there seem to be more and more of the humanoid creatures peeking out at them from the trees.
After not too much time, they come to a clearing, marked by a carpet of flower petals leading through the entrance. The guards insist that Rajita and Titus enter first, but don't provide further hassle. It's about the size of a basketball court, dominated by a rock formation jutting from the ground at the opposite end, wrapped in silvery trees and vegetation, with a small spring of water flowing from near its top down a series of little circular pools. A number of the strange people stand on and around the rock, wearing flowing white gowns and various delicate metallic accoutrements. One in particular looks even taller than the others, sitting on a throne made of vines grown into intricate decorative patterns, wearing a pointed crown lined with several sharply shining stones.
The escorting soldiers spread out as the enter the clearing, and all bow towards the throne.
