Antiope had not waited at the bridge, before that endless wall of ivy. She had returned to Denocte, to the cobblestone, fire lit streets, despite the yearning of the lioness in her bones. She had returned to whatever life she had here, if one could call it such.
She had, until—
Until the first equine came back, telling to all who would listen that the wall had gone and that there was a strange, mystical, magical land beyond it. This, above all things, is what had drawn Antiope back to that bridge. The bridge that stretched for miles into the sea that shifted and changed with the waves.
So she crossed it again, across each strangely see-through pass and over each dip and rise, even where it looked like the ocean would rise up and claim it. And when she reached that place where the bridge stopped and a wall of vines had once stretched endlessly in all directions, she kept going.
On the outside the island appeared the same as any other she had seen. Sand that swept into the ocean and grass that spread beneath trees that stretched into the sky. But upon closer inspection, Antiope saw the abnormalities within. The birds that did not look quite like birds, fruits that looked exotic but dangerous, plants too bright and too knowing.
Oh, how she could get lost in this place that looked like a world but held a lioness within.
"Speaking."

Don't mind me just frantically throwing all my characters in here last minute...
