Chibi-Usa stumbled a bit on the uneven rocky floor. She blinked to clear the mist from her eyes, the aftermath of plunging through the Sorceress' mirror. Her surroundings seemed awfully familiar, way too familiar. She was in another cave, almost an exact duplicate of the one she had just left.

There was a woman crouched near the fireplace dipping water from the boiling caldron into a tea pot. She turned and straightened. The woman could be twin to the Sorceress of the Winds, save she had a long red braid, green eyes, and a dark green robe.

"Chibi-Usa, I presume. I have been expecting your arrival."

Chibi-Usa's eyes widened a little, startled. "This place looks just like where I just came from and you remind me of the woman who sent me here. May I have your name or what should I call you?" She remembered some magic users didn't like giving out their names.

The woman straightened and carried the teapot over to a low table surrounded by cushions. "Come. Sit and have some tea and we shall talk. You may call me Esmeralda."

Chibi-Usa backed away quickly, turning to leap back through the mirror.
