Tera had travelled through the void to a planet similar, yet different from her own; it was similar in that it had all the same flora and fauna, yet different in that there were structures which towered high above the people below.

From what she gathered, Tera had landed in a big city in the country of Australia, which was on a planet known as Earth, just before what people kept referring to as "the holiday season". How an entire season could be filled with holidays she was unsure of, but as she approached the first people she saw actually wearing some decorations of this "season" - a group of children - she was set on finding out.

"Excuse me, but what is all this stuff I keep hearing about a 'holiday season'?" Tera asked.

"You're got funny clothes miss," one of the little boys said, pointing at her and laughing.

"Uh huh... now can you please answer my question?"

"It's Christmas of course! Don't you know about Christmas?!" was a different one of the children's replies; presumably of the leader.

"Umm... no actually, I don't."

The children looked at eachother, then the leader seemed to sigh and say, "Christmas is a holiday at the end of the year when Santa Claus goes to the house of every boy and girl in the world to deliver presents."

"Santa doesn't exist!" yelled a girl at the back of the group, "just like the tooth fairy and the easter bunny!"

"They do so exist; I've seen them," another girl retorted, "and Santa visits the shopping centre down the street every December so we can tell him what we want to get for Christmas."

"That's not Santa; that's just Mr. Thompson in a big red suit."

"Liar! It is so Santa!"

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Not!"

"Too!"

"Hold it you two. How about I find out whether or not it really is Santa by going to him myself?" Tera said, interupting the two children.

"But he's not at the supermarket right now; he'd be in his home at the north pole right now," the believer said.

"Then that's where I'll go," Tera said simply. "Now which way is north?"

And as soon as the children pointed her in the right direction, Tera used her portals repeatedly to travel from her location to the northern horizon, and after it got hotter and then colder again, Tera knew that she could not be far away from the top of the world.
