Zim yawned a bit, laying on the bed of what now was her room for the moment. She 
was rather bored, and really wished her mother would hurry up with that portal 
back home... 

Almost as if her wishes were heard, a large, gaping hole tore into reality, 
letting a familiar blue haired woman step out. A woman that gave Zim a look. 

"You have been here for quite a while" Mar pointed out 

Zim made a face "... the portal closed after I delivered the book." 

Mar... chuckled a bit. "Well, its no worry dear... nothing happened. You should 
go home now." 

Zim stood up, placing her sword back in place "I will. Oh, yeah..." She added, 
picking up a book, and offering it to Mar. "He returned it pretty quickly." 

Mar took the book, and smiled. "Thank you. Go home now, I'll see you in a few 
days." 

Zim grinned a bit, and rubbed her nose. "Sure mom... you know, this place is 
actually pretty boring..." 

Mar stuck her tongue out at her. "I like it here. And there are people I should 
see, so I'll be leaving. Bye bye now." Mar added, as with a sudden movement, she 
shoved a surprised Zim into the portal, who disappeared into it before she could 
protest. Mar giggled slightly, and then stepped out of the room. 

She found herself smack with another portal of sorts. It was heading her way. 

"... oh dear." Mar said, just before it engulfed her. 

A riff in space opened in mid air, dropping a surprised elf... right into a 
rather nasty snowstorm. Mar seemingly ignored the cold as she stood up and looked 
around. 

"... this is bad... the cold will eventually get to me, I better seek shelter... 
ah!" She exclaimed, as she spotted a cave not far away. She could always begin 
looking for the tower when the storm was over.
