Once she’d garnered some idea of where she was – the Dusk Court, the tall boy had said – the next step was, logically, to expand upon that knowledge. She had begun by exploring the large, green field into which she had initially been deposited, but aside from the occasional sight of a person or another, or various wild animals (that were, blessedly, normal enough, like Helovia’s), there was very little other than tall, swaying grass. Not that Maude disliked the sea of delicious green, of course, but it wasn’t the most entertaining of natural spectacles, especially for a girl who’d been raised in a Goddess’ magical woodland. Natural footpaths worn into the terrain by many hooves eventually led her east, where the earth seemed to gently slope upwards, until it came to an abrupt end. The similarities to her home in the Edge, and the sound of the sea, immediately fill her with a nostalgia that causes her eyes to burn with unshed, emotional tears, and she stops to survey her surroundings. Though her initial impulse had been to go to the edge of the earth, and to ease herself into the gentle sight and sound of the rhythmic tide kissing the shore, a tall tower rises from the center of field in which she stands, and her attention focuses in on it, and cannot be severed from then on. With ears lifted and eager steps, she makes her way towards it, having never seen any structure other than the Rotunda or the greenhouse. In comparison to the tall, seemingly timeless tower before her, they were quite punitive in comparison. How had horses even made this? She wonders. Or had it been something else? Dragons? She thinks, remembering Tandavi's stories of Mirage with a bittersweet smile, and a deeply painful throb in the depths her heart. Pulling her mind out of the past, she instead refocuses her thoughts on the peculiar, but amazing, building before her. The size of the doors and windows are perhaps what impress her the most, when she does make it there, or perhaps the fact that, though she sees no one immediately, here, more so than in the wide, rolling field she had just come from, there seems to be evidence of many people. Was this the Court that the really big boy had talked about? She wonders, peering up at the tall height of the amazing structure, debating whether or not she should walk in.
