Zain nods, "Alright, I guess there's nothing left than to begin now. Please, follow me"
He leads you to an open circle in the computers. "Wait here, and we'll get you transported there. Now remember, unless something unusual happens, you're on your own until you retrieve the crystal and we can lock on to your signals. The transfer may seem strange, but wont be painful." He starts to head back to where the woman was sitting, then turns back, "Good luck."
As he steps away, lights begin to flash around you, slowly at first, then faster. Soon you are bathed in light, of all the colors that you can imagine, and quite a few you couldn't. One instant your eyes are blasted with light, the next there is none at all. Then it all fades into a pulsing dark green.
The next thing you see is a dense forest. Through the trees you can see a bright moon above you, in a virtually starless night sky. You feel abruptly the sense of stability that seemed to be lacking at the nexus. Your clothes, too have changed, becoming rougher, and more worn.
Kei feels a dull pulse he'd given up as a headache or stress finally give away.
As you take this all in, you hear the snap of a twig and turn to see a rough looking man with a crossbow pointed at you. "Who are you? And why in God's name have you come here?"
