Kaiser didn't pause to open a doorway this time. He just disappeared, taking Mike and Red (who I assume is still with us) along with him. Somehow, Pluto must have been a bit too far away, because she was only half-caught by the portal. She was tossed away from the others, and landed hard on an island overgrown with thick pine trees. The others were nowhere to be seen.

(yeah she's still with us) Pluto landed on the ground with an "oof!", damaged wing pressed into the ground. She hissed, muttering in Russian as she righted herself

It was cool and dark under the trees, and the smell of pine sap was very strong. Tiny blue flowers and moss carpeted the ground underfoot. But there were no birds, or bugs, or animals of any kind. The plants were beautiful, but they seemed frozen somehow, as if they never grew or aged. Only the sky changed, and that was a constant swirl of light and color, each arrangement of clouds more spectacular than the last.

Pluto frowned at the forest. "Great. Lovely," she muttered. She brushed herself off, checking to see that her gatekey was still in her pocket. She gave a small sigh of relief when she felt its outline in her jean pocket. She started to walk in a general direction, trying to figure a way out. She couldn't use her gatekey without water, and there seemed to be none in sight

She only got a little ways before there came the sound of something moving nearby.

Pluto whipped around, eyes scanning the forest. There seemed to be something different about the trees, since she couldn't see through them. She mentally cursed, walking faster so as to make it look less like she was prey

(Okay. It's good to have you back ^^)
The rustling escalated into a loud thrashing. Then, with a squeak, a small child tumbled into view, rolling to a halt at Pluto's feet. He stared up at her with a pair of wide, curious teal eyes.

Pluto jumped, taking a few steps back and drawing a short, black and silver bladed knife from thin air. She looked at the child warily, readying herself for an attack

(yeah, and this guy named Kaiser is guiding them through the five levels of the Seams. This is the first one, Uarilon)
He stood up and brushed himself off, still watching her. He had thick blonde hair and fair skin that was lightly dusted with freckles. He was wearing a tunic the color of sand, and was barefoot. A pair of wings, small and covered in baby fluff, were loosely folded against his back. He didn't seem in the least bit afraid.
"Who are you?" He asked. There was a gap where one of his baby teeth had recently fallen out.

Pluto felt a smile tug at the corner of her lips before she stopped herself. She may have a soft spot for kids, but this one could be dangerous. "That's on a need to know basis."

He tilted his head. "Oh. I think I'll call you Moon Girl then. My name's Ollie. Where did you come from? You're the oldest person I've ever seen! I like your wings." He said the last bit with a shy smile.

"What? I'm no 'moon girl.' My name's Pluto. And yes, I'm old. That's not the nicest thing to say to people though," Pluto chuckled

"Oh. I thought you must have come from the moon. But I like Pluto too, it sounds pretty." Ollie circled her, skipping over the mossy ground. "Are you from one of the other islands? I can't fly yet, so I have to stay on this one."

"Um…Sure. I'm from…California island," Pluto said. She lowered her knife, realizing the kid wasn't really a threat. "I hurt my wing, and I crashed here," she said

He frowned in concern. "You're hurt? Can I see?"
(I gotta go to bed early tonight, sorry. Seeya tomorrow)
