The door flew open seconds later and Selena saw a man beyond it. He silently beckons her inside and Selena wavered.

This could be some kind of trap, but who knows what’s beyond it? Should I go? Ugh, why must my curiosity get in my way! she thought and slowly took a step inside the silver door. Her eyes immediately widen as she entered the room.

The Arrivals Room, echoed in her head as she glanced around her. In the room were many people, but not just ordinary ones. As she scanned the room, she found many different species of creatures here. Some had scales covering their body; others were sizes of dwarfs, she even spotted a lizard standing on its hind legs. Her legs seemed to move on it’s own as she started to mingle with the crowd of creatures and people from every corner of the universe.

“What an amazing place,” she said as she looked to the ceiling. Etched upon the stone were carvings of clouds, angels, and what was beyond the universe. She ripped her eyes away from the wonderful artwork to look around more.

Besides the people, the walls were pure white. Tall, sturdy columns edged the walls. Etched upon the head and bottom of the columns were carvings of warriors in combat with others. Selena found it curious while she was walking besides one. Suddenly, someone bumped into her and she leaned against the wall to avoid the person or thing more.

“What where you’re going punk,” they said and Selena turned to see the perpetrator. Her eyebrow rose as she laid her eyes on the creature. The creature was taller than her by two heads and she felt very small compared to him. His skin or fur it looked like, was blue and showed off his muscles that were under it. Yellow hair came from his scalp and horns came out from his skull. A wavering tail followed behind him with a red flame lit on it.

Selena didn’t want to fight anyone that was taller than her and scooted away from the beast and went deeper into the crowd for her own safety. She looked at the people around her and found that angel-like figures grouped together and made a section of the room there own so they could chat and mingle among there own kind. Selena laughed to herself as she recalled that she was a child of the goddesses and daydreamed that angels would respect and notice her wherever she went.

These guys probably don’t even know my mothers, nonetheless acknowledge me, she thought and took a place on the wall to lead against for the time until she could return to the forest.

(Was that good?)
