A forest in the land of the Fay

When the mist dissipated, Dina was now standing on a sandy shore. The sand gleamed almost golden. Up ahead were grass and trees in jewel-bright colours, the outskirts of a forest. Arthur and Morgan stood a little distance away. Arthur looked the same, except for his expression of wonder, but Morgan was changed. She seemed taller and more dignified, almost queenly. On her head she wore a garland of flowers she hadn't been wearing when they went in. The flowers were roses as red as rubies. She smiled at Dina and beckoned her forward, while Arthur was still gazing around with his back to both women.
"Dina!"

Dina blinked as her eyes adjusted to the bright colours. She moved to stand with thesiblings so that the next person could come through without bumping into her.
"It is so beautiful." She breathed as she stared around. "You are stunning Lady Morgan."

"Thank you, Dina," Morgan replied. "You are kind to say so. This land feels like home to me. I am myself here, more than I am in our own world. I knew you would enjoy it here."
Meanwhile, Arthur turned and grinned at Dina.
"My lady! I did not know you were brave enough to be the first to follow us through. I salute you!"

Dina blushed at being addressed by Arthur.
"I am brave when I need to be Your Grace." She answered with what she hoped was confidence and a smile. "There was nothing that was to hold me back and maybe the rest will be quicker once they realise that a woman such as I can do what some may fear to>"

Taliesin walked through the last vestiges of mist with his eyes closed, and opened them when he knew he was through.

"Yes, let us hope so," Arthur agreed. "I am lucky to have such brave women in my company. Ah, and here comes the bard!"
"Our warriors are such laggards," Morgan laughed. "Welcome, Taliesin!"

"Lady Morgan," Taliesin said, bowing, "Thank you for allowing me into your realm."

Dindrane turned to see Taliesin. She smiled at him warmly.
"I can only agree with that Lady Morgan." She said with a grin, knowing it was not true. "Thank you Your Grace. I hope that I will continue to be brave for the whole of the journey."

"I am sure you will," Arthur said with a grin. "Perhaps I should be knighting ladies as well as knights?"
Morgan said to Taliesin "It is not my realm exactly but I thank you nonetheless for the compliment. I hope you will write us a great ballad of our time here?"

Taliesin lost his balance for a moment, staggering briefly, "I... apologize, Lady Morgan, Lady Dindrane," he said almost drunkenly, his face turning a shade of pale green that clashed with his hair, "But the Mist Gate did not agree with..." He couldn't finish his sentence because he felt the need to vomit, a need that he exercised on the nearest bush.

Morgan flinched and looked at Dina and Arthur.
"Poor man. I will go and speak to him when he's finished, see if I can offer assistance. Are you both alright?"
Arthur nodded.
"Dina?"

Dagonet steps up behind the puking bard and frowns. He looks around the the very pretty vibrant colors.

Dina smiled and nodded.
"I am perfectly fine Lady Morgan, thank you." She looked over at the new arrival and pitied where he had stepped from the mists.

Taliesin retches his last and sits up, "Well... bugger," he says and looks over to the other people present, "My most sincere apologies," he said, "Does that happen often?"
