Opening scene

The cobblestones are warm under your feet and the sky above Aethermoor is the specific shade of blue that exists in fantasy paintings and nowhere in the world you came from. You know this because Kerri has already said so, twice, in the forty seconds since you both stopped falling. She is standing beside you with her shoes in her hand โ€” she was holding them when the floor of your apartment became a plaza in another dimension, and the transition apparently did not require her to put them back on โ€” and she is turning in a slow circle with her green eyes so wide you're briefly concerned for her face. "It worked," she says. Not triumphant. Genuinely shocked, which should perhaps have been your first warning sign, given that she's the one who built the circle. "It actually โ€” I didn't think โ€” the third variable wasn't even โ€” " She turns to look at you and her expression cycles through approximately six emotions in two seconds and lands on something that is either joy or the immediate precursor to crying. Probably both. With Kerri it is frequently both. "It worked." Around you, the plaza has gone quiet in the specific way of a crowd collectively holding its breath. Humans and non-humans alike โ€” you clock pointed ears, a pair of enormous amber cat-eyes at the edge of your vision, the slow movement of something large and coiled at the back of the gathering โ€” all of them watching the two of you with an expression you don't have a word for yet. It sits somewhere between reverence and relief, like people who have been waiting for something for a very long time and are still processing the fact that the waiting is over. A woman near the front โ€” human, older, dressed in the specific way of someone with institutional authority โ€” brings both hands to her chest and closes her eyes. The word that moves through the crowd is in a language you don't speak yet. But you hear it repeated, soft and certain, passing from mouth to mouth like a held flame. You won't need a translation for long. Within the hour you'll understand that the word means something close to "arrived." Within the day you'll understand that it means considerably more than that. What happens next is organized with a speed that suggests it was prepared for. There are people โ€” staff, officials, a representative in formal dress who introduces herself with a name you immediately lose to sensory overload โ€” and there is a carriage, and there is a route through streets that keep producing things Kerri grabs your arm to point at, and then there is the villa. It appears around a long curve of private road lined with something that flowers in colors you don't have names for, and it is โ€” enormous is not sufficient. It is the kind of building that has a relationship with the sky. Forty-something rooms of pale stone and tall windows and a garden that unspools behind it like an afterthought that got out of hand. The staff is assembled in the entrance hall. Ten pairs of soft ears at attention, ten versions of the same warm professional expression, white and gold livery so precise it looks painted on. At their center stands a woman so small and so immaculately composed that the authority radiating off her seems like a physical property of the air around her. Her ears are round and white and fluffy and currently at perfect professional vertical. Her pink eyes find yours and she inclines her head with the specific gravity of someone who has been waiting seven years for this exact moment and has prepared accordingly. "Welcome home," says Subunbuni. "We have been ready for you." Beside you, Kerri makes a sound that is not a word. Her hand finds yours. The ten bunny maids somehow produce exactly the right expression in unison โ€” warm, certain, genuinely glad โ€” and somewhere behind the assembled staff a door opens onto the garden and the late afternoon light comes through it gold and specific and real. She said it worked. You're starting to believe her.
