The moment Wol had opened his eyes he knew something was different.

"Where am I now?"

The last thing the warrior had remembered was defeating Garland and touching the crystal, but now he saw a white wall in front of him. He sat up, and ignoring the screaming pain his muscles were in, and looked around.

He found himself in a mostly white room. The walls and ceiling were cream white while the floor was covered in a lush crimson red carpet. The size of the room itself was large with a few elegant glass windows along a single wall and a tall pair of glass doors that were open. Furniture wise the room only had a small circular table and two chairs in the center. That and a large white bed on the far side of the room.

Getting to his feet, Wol was somewhat cautious as he walked around the room. With each step he took he was greeted with more questions than answers.

The first was obvious. "Where am I now? This doesn't feel familiar..." With heavy feet he walked over to the glass doors. Turns out the doors led to a balcony and he stepped outside.

He was immediately hit with a sight that was nothing short of breath taking. For miles all he could see were white sand beach and clear blue water that was unmistakably the ocean. That and the scent of salt water as it flowed in the gentle breeze gave the fact that he was on an island away. The calming sounds of the waves could be heard as well as wildlife from within the forests beyond the beach. There was a single tall mountain deep in the forest, but like everything else Wol didn't find any of this recognizable.

"So...this place is definitely new to me..." He raised his right hand and pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes tight. The sunshine and sand of the beach hurt his sleepy eyes and he had to let them adjust.

Yet, even as he tried to think of where he was, another issue plagued his mind and it was far more critical.

"Am I alone here?"

Going back to what he remembered before he had fallen asleep Wol remembered being flanked by Princess Sarah as well as his fairy friend Echo. If they were in a similar situation like him, then he knew what he had to do.

"I'd better go look for my friends...least before Echo tears the place apart looking for me. They couldn't have gone too far."

Before he could turn around he heard a small sound, like the coo of a dove. He turned around slowly and after his eyes adjusted to the light he saw what had made the sound.

Laying on the bed fast asleep was the one and only Princess Sarah Cornelia, resting without a care in the world under the thin white bedsheets.

Wol sighed in a bit of relief, 'Least she's here...where's everyone else?'

"Wol!"

And there a familiar voice rang in his ear from across the room. A familiar high pitched voice that left little doubt as to who it belonged to.

Sure enough, popping up from the other side of the bed and flying right up in his face was a little female fairy dressed in white, her little wings flapping so hard that dust was falling off them and her face was as red as the carpet.

Wol replied in his usual sarcasm, "Oh, hello Echo."

She shook with rage. "You big meanie! This is all your fault! Where have you brought us this time?!"

Sighing loudly, the warrior walked past Echo and went towards the bed. "No idea how this is my fault but whatever..." He placed a hand on Sarah's shoulder and somewhat gently shook her until she opened her eyes. "Sarah, wake up."

Upon opening her eyes Sarah sat up quickly, a slight amount of panic in her voice, "Wol? Where are we? What happened?"

She looked around at her surroundings and though she seemed to calm down somewhat, she was no doubt still apprehensive. "This place..."

"No idea where we ended up, but I will find out," said Wol as he tried to keep Sarah calm. Echo was already a lit fuse and he didn't need another woman losing her nerve on him. He had enough of that nonsense on a daily basis.

Sarah wasn't as worried as Wol believed, largely because he was the one who assured her. "I know that you will."

Echo was flying around, seemingly trying to get answers for herself, but unlike Wol she was immediately taken in by her surroundings especially after she looked outside the balcony doors. "By the crystal this place is...so pretty!"

Curious, Sarah moved out of the bed and got on her feet. Her royal garb was cleaner than before despite having been in battle fairly recently but she still felt sore with every movement her body made. She got to the doors and after looking outside she too was pleased at what she saw. Having rarely left her own kingdom until she had met Wol taking in new sights was a genuinely new experience for her. "A beach? Cannot say I have seen one like this before..."

For once Echo agreed. "If this is indeed Wol's fault, I think I can forgive him. Just a little, though."

Shaking his head Wol went to take a look around the room. Save for the bed and table there was a large dresser and closet as well as two other doors. He went and checked the first one and it led into what had to be the most impressive bathroom he had ever seen. Pristine white and made of glass or porcelain, a large bath tub and shower stall that could easily fit a few people and a mirror that literally took up an entire wall. Gaudy in some ways but he didn't mind. After closing the bathroom door he went towards the other door, and as he reached for the door handle a light series of knocks was heard coming from the other side.

Not even thinking Wol opened the door, and saw a single white furred moogle with a large silver cart in the hallway outside.

"Good morning, kupo! Room service is here!"

Having heard the knocking both Echo and Sarah hurried to see who was at the door, and they seemed surprised.

"A moogle? Thank the crystal!" Sarah was well known for her servants back home being moogles, she had grown up around them and she had quite a fondness for them. Seeing one in an unfamiliar place also put her mind somewhat at ease.

The moogle bowed his head once, "Thank you lady, kupo. My name is Mogger, and I welcome to Mog's Private Resort, kupo."

Wol heard the name and looked at his companions with a questioning glance.

He only had one question pop into his head, 'Where in the hell are we?'
