Chap 7:
Marguerite woke up on a soft bed with sheets that enveloped her body and smelt of wildflowers. She basked in the comfort for a few minutes, until the memories of the previous day (?) came flooding back to her. She sat up abruptly and surveyed her surroundings. She was in a simple white room with only a bed, a full length mirror and a table which had a vase which held an exquisite-looking bouquet. Just as she was about to call out, she spotted a young girl dressed in white shyly carrying a tray of food over to the bed where Marguerite sat. The young girl had a serious look on her face as she brought over the food.
Before Marguerite could speak the young girl said, " Good morning My Lady, I am Calliope. Eat now and dress in the clothes that have been provided for you, then I will take you to see the Great Lady of the Land."
Marguerite stared and the girl in pure wonderment, for her statement had not been said in English, but in the same Greek language as the writing on the cave wall. "I.where am I? How did I get here? The last thing I remember is going through the." Marguerite stuttered, talking to Calliope in the same language.
"All questions will be answered by 'Her'. I am but a servant here, though I am unworthy to serve a great Goddess," The girl replied humbly, still unsmiling. "Now eat your nourishment dress and we shall go."
Marguerite did as she was told. She ate only a small portion of the food, the flavors were so overwhelming to her senses and she was full in no time. When the girl saw that she would eat no more, she brought Marguerite a beautiful white dress and gestured that she should change. The dress fit Marguerites body perfectly and fell to just the right length. She admired herself in the mirror and surprisingly Calliope cracked a smile.
"Yes, you look most lovely My Lady, now I must take you to see the Great Lady - we must not keep her waiting."
"Of course," Marguerite muttered bewilderedly. "Wouldn't want to keep 'Her' waiting now would we." Marguerite added sarcastically. Shaking her head she mentally scolded herself for ever walking through the damned doorway in the first place. 'Never mind Roxton and the others will come for me.' A part of her mind said. 'Oh will they?' the crueler side of her said. ' Maybe they're glad to get rid of you.'
"We must go now." Calliope said pointedly. Marguerite looked up only to realize that she had stopped walking.
"Sorry..I am coming." Marguerite replied. Pushing all her thoughts away for the time being she followed the servant girl through the large white palace.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*
Roxton tumbled out of the portal only to find himself in a forest full of tall dense trees. "Marguerite!" he called several times. There was no answer. It seemed that he was utterly alone. Seeing no signs of civilization (or anything else but trees!) around, He decided to climb one of the tall trees and try to find his way to.well somewhere! He picked himself up off the ground and started to hastily climb. "I'll find you Marguerite, just hold on." He whispered to the breeze.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*
Ned, Veronica and Challenger came out of the doorway only to find themselves in another Cave. This one though, was lavishly decorated with numberless types of flora and furniture and was several times larger. They all stared in shock at the scene that greeted them. In the centre of the cave stood a beautiful young lady who lay on a bed of flowers and was softly playing the harp. Even more wondrous was the sight of the willowy, winged beings that danced around the lady - they angelic creatures could only be Nymphs.
"We.ahh." Choked out Challenger as he stared wide-eyed at the scene before him. The girl playing the harp jumped up in fright and the nymphs gathered around her protectively. The three explorers just stood stupidly staring, tied together at the back of the cave. The lady said something in a tongue that none of them could understand. "I'm sorry.I.we don't.." Challenger stuttered.
"Who are you? How have you come into my mothers cave? She will not let you take me back into the Underworld." the young lady said, this time in English.
"We aren't here to take you anywhere," Ned reassured the girl. "We came from the err.World.on the other side of the portal. We're looking for our companions, have you seen them?" He asked.
Peering at the explorers closely the lady suddenly gave an astounded laugh. "They are mortals!" she told the nymphs, "They cannot harm us. I have not seen your companions, I have only seen my mother and my friend nymphs for a long time." Moving to untangle the three astounded 'mortals' from each other she said with a smile, "I am Persephone, you can talk to my mother, she will be able to help you, but you must wait until sundown when she will return for now she is busy at the White Villa."
Challenger, Veronica and Ned just stood there shocked, until Veronica finally managed to find her voice. "I'm Veronica," She said with a smile, "This is Ned and George. It's ahh.quite remarkable.to meet you"
Persephone wrinkled her nose and smiled. "What odd names you have!" she exclaimed merrily. And set about introducing the many Nymphs that where moving around the flowery cave.
