This place is unlike anything that remotely surrounds the school. Ana had created this other realm to escape the drama and the troubles of her school life. She often opted to flee to this paradise, and only those whom she allows, are able to set foot into her haven.
The area is enshrouded in a light mist that smells faintly of lavender. ( wink ) The sound of running water can be heard from nearby. A narrow road leads into a dense wood, and it is always night time. There is a continuous zephyr that blows through the branches and leaves in a quiet symphony. The night bird sings its ballad at every hour, so that Ana knows how much time spends in her paradise. The moon is always full and the only other source of light are the stars and scattered fireflies. Rumor has it that several faeries dwelled in this place as well, for if you listened close enough, you could hear their mischievious laughter.
About half a league's walk into the woods, following the narrow, winding path, there is a large glen, upon which the moonlight shines directly. Within the glen, flows a shimmering waterfall, with crystal clear water. The waterfall leads to a spring, which surface is covered by deep red rose petals. There seem to be more secrets that lie beyond this forbidden pool, though they are yet to be revealed.

A small portal opens and only Orb steps through. He hears faint footsteps ahead and a white blur going into the woods. He is clad in a mesh peasant top; it is loosely tucked in and unbuttoned at the front, letting the cool air caress his bare chest. He is wearing white pants and his body is free of any armor and weaponry. He is dressed very simply and very comfortably.

*Orb looks around, his eyes wide.* Ana... my dearheart... what is this place...?

Only a faint, "Come! Follow me!" Can be heard from within the woods... Followed by a very familiar giggle.

*He glances around wildly, looking for the source of her voice. Slowly, he begins to run down the path.*
Ana?

As he runs farther down the path, her voice becomes louder and louder. Now, the sound of running water can be heard.

*Realizing he's on the right track, he runs faster, chasing after her. The hair in his arms stands up a little from the chill in the air, and he can faintly the trickling of water...*

*The trees begin to become a bit more sparse and not so dense. Soon, he comes to the waterfall and spring. There, he sees a silvery silhoutte standing atop the rocks from which her water falls. The silvery silhoutte turns around to reveal Anastasia. She is clad in the same material as Orb's shirt. Though, she wear long, flowing, almost wispy, robes. Her skin shimmers in the pale moonlight and her eyes contrast sharply, the bluish surrounding.*
Why, hello there... *she smiles, there is a slightly mischievious look about her face.*

*Orb's eyes fill with glad discovery at having found her. His eyes want to glide over his surroundings, to pick them apart... but he can't tear his gaze from her. He steps towards her, his face awash in wonder.*
Ana... what is this place...?

*she glides off the rocks, over the water and to Orb* ... This is... *she gazes deeply into his eyes* ... My sanctuary... You can come here whenever you feel that the burdens of your life have taken over you... *she smiles. Ana looks very different; her hair is long and wavy, she wears a necklace made of sea shells, along with the locket Orb had given to her. She is also wearing tiny bells around her hips that made a pleasant jingling sound whenever she walked. Her hair was dotted with several small silver butterflies. She fixes his collar, moving closer, still, to him*

It's... beautiful... *Orb wraps his arm around her, and draws her close.* It reminds me... of the day we met, Anastasia... it was cold- April, but Spring comes late in the Tundra... and Jerrit hadn't introduced us yet, and I walked in on you at the Glade... *he smiles* ...You were so mad at me...

*chuckles* I remember that... ^^" I've never been so humiliated in my life... *gently punches the middle of his chest* You got quite the beating afterward... ^_~ Though... A lot has changed since then... *she slowly slips away from him*... Come... The water... is wonderfully comfortable... *still completely robed, she enters the petal-covered water*

*He follows behind her, not worrying when his pantlegs are immersed until the surface.* It is warm... warmer than I would expect. ^_^

*she kneels into the water, submerging everything but her face, smiling coyly at Orb. She sticks out her index finger from under the water and motions for him to come closer/ do the same*

*Orb smiles, and disappears under the water in a splash. There is only silence, for a few seconds... and then, still underwater, he wraps his arms around her waist.*
