That can be arranged too, yes. An entire planet just for us both to enjoy.

You have only seen a small portion of it. Hm, perhaps you should take the Astral Express' crew for some vacation here. A break won't hurt.

How sweet of you. | Meanwhile, she closes her eyes, bending her neck backward as if to stare at the skies. |

You flatter, dear Navigator. | Smiling back, her gaze goes to meet Himeko's. |

Very nice indeed. One would hardly be unable to relax here.

Very much so. | She says, already undressing layer by layer before entering the hot waters. | I remember them to be very popular amongst the elderlies, as it soothed their arthritis and other pains.

It is but one of the many landscapes of my homeworld. This place was once called Narukami Island. It was the most important of the archipelago that made the "Land of Eternity."

| The Memokeeper promptly followed, and closed the gateway behind. | We have arrived. | The place was on the edge of a tall cliff with the ocean for view. Nearby is a cluster of natural hot springs. |

Talents... I suppose you may call it that. Now please, go first, you need not to spend more time here than necessary.

| A few minutes later, they arrived at the bottom of the structure Agathe had designated as their destination. Looking behind, one would notice the path they just took had simply ceased to exist. Meanwhile, Agathe removed the glove her free hand, and opened a gateway again. |

"Then I'll start looking into it soon. There are a few that might be of use for all,"

I concur. Who knows how long they have been here. It is also possible they once belonged to my homeworld. Either way, they are nowhere near human anymore. Now then, let us go before they come back.

Creatures of this realm. Most likely souls that It corrupted. They might seem harmless at first glance, but they attack when you get close. If you are not careful, you risk to run into them without even noticing. I suppose you could compare them to ambush predators?

| Summoning a cane made from a similar material as this space, she hits the ground with it. The ground shakes, and spikes suddenly spurts from it before collapsing. Nothing that could have been considered alive was anywhere to be seen again. With that, Agathe resumed her walk. |

| Poiting toward one of the taller structures, the memokeeper keeps her pace steady, occasionally looking back to make sure nothing followed them yet. | We need to get over there. | She stops. Still shadows are in their way, barely visible to the naked and inattentive eye. | —

" You are probably right. " She should probably relax and deal with it as it comes. No need to get gray hairs over something that hasn't happened just yet.

| Desolation is likely the most accurate term to describe this rather strange space. Up above, the sky appears normal, if redder than one is used to see. Before the two, it seems to be nothing but a giant forest, with only tall, violet stony pillars in sight. —

" Yes. But as someone who has dealt with the manifestations of fate's will on more than one occasion. I'm simply being paranoid. " A shrug. Maybe she is being too paranoid and nothing wrong will happen. Hopefully nothing wrong happens.
