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

After stepping out of the portal, I found myself in a meadow, surrounded by ancient-looking trees. The chirp of birds filled the space, and based on the bright sun above and absence of clouds… I was not in Paris or nowhere near it.
I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with the crisp clean air that was tinged with sweetness from the wildflowers that speckled the ground.
"This way…", Vesper said and gestured in the direction I should move.
"Why are we here?", I asked while walking after Vesper.
"You expected something else?"
"Uhm… yes.", I admitted. "I assumed that we will be in a place where people are."
'So that I experience fear and control my pheromones. Those guys in the bar looked scary enough.', I added in my head.
"You have two goals for today. Your first task is to control your pheromones to acceptable levels regardless of what you encounter here."
