"My lady, I am here for your - " The knight's attempted reassuring words were cut off in a flash of white as the girl shoved her hand into his faceplate. Suddenly, the pair were standing apart from each other, in a world of dark, washed-out shadows and brilliant constellations.

The Paladin jerked from side to side, trying to get his bearings straight. What had happened? Was this an attack? Had the same meta who'd comitted the attack somehow transported them to this strange place? He raised his fist and tried to direct light around it, trying to make a torch, cast away some of the darkness. His powers did not respond.

He looked back to the girl, who was stammering not far from him. "My lady, have no fear. Whatever foul power this is, I will..." His voice trailed off as he caught the look in her eyes, wild, desperate, terrified... guilty? "... You did this."

Obviously, there was more to the girl than had previously met the eye. Had she attacked him? Was this some act of malice designed to hinder or impede him? Alex rejected the theory out of hand. Even if it wasn't entirely against his principles to assume malice when other explanations were available, the way the girl was quivering like a leaf seemed to belay that theory. An accident, then.

The Paladin brought his armored hands up in an attempted placating gesture. "My lady, I mean you no harm. It seems that, in our misunderstanding, we may have been taken somewhere we should like very much not to be... where are we? What do these constellations mean? How do we get back?"
