Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

The familiar pull told me that I stepped into a portal. When the movement stopped, I looked around and I didn't see anything different.
I was in a dark cave-like place, and Mivian's figure was glowing several steps ahead of me.
Two other harpies were next to her. The triangle-patch cloth over private parts between their legs told me there is a strong possibility the new faces are guards, like Liatris.
"Move, child…", Mivian told me. "Lumiona is right behind you."
"Oh…", a sound escaped my lips as I stumbled forward quickly just in time to see the oracle coming out of the portal.
I observed that there were no runes visible, like on the portals I used so far. The only indication of the portal's existence was the surface that rippled like water when someone passes through it. Fascinating.
