They trekked through the forest and everywhere Kate looked was bright and luscious with flowers and plants of yellows, red, greens, and purples. She didn't want to blink in case she missed one of the beautiful flowers. The path slowly began to slant upwards and Kate could feel the air begin to thin slightly but she wasn't that worried, she knew Circe had had mortals in her home before so she didn't think a little hard breathing was going to affect her too much more. They walked another half hour or so before they came up to a hill and as they crested the top Kate got her first look at Circe's home.
