A void suddenly appeared on top of a cliff, it's swirling abyss warping the air and reality. You stepped out of the void, and inhaled a flowery, coastal scent when the black void disappeared behind you. You noticed at the moment of your arrival, the stars had brightened slightly, dimming after a few seconds.

Step one: Enter the world with zero casualties is a success.

However, the stars changing is slightly worrying. Could that mean Celestia is already aware of your existence in this world? It couldn't possibly, let's not get too dreadful. Father said himself that they wouldn't notice as long as you don't bring attention to yourself. You don't, and would never doubt his words.

What worries you is your own aura in this world. You can hide and pretend to be someone you're not any day of the week, hell, you've done it countless times on other missions before. But, in the presence of a God, an Archon... especially if one were to have the power to view auras of different persons... that worries you deeply.

Alright, there's no use of fretting over something so intently before it's happened. Let's have a look at the list Monaca gave you... It listed different names, each under a different subheading which indicated which nation grew them naturally.

The name 'Cecilia' was circled with her infamous red pen. She also had the audacity to put an arrow with a smiley face. This is something she often does, not only in lists, but also in family contracts and notices. It's childish, and frankly, annoying. She's been warned hundreds of times by mother and father but still continues to do it anyway.

More importantly, is it just you or is the air in this world so... clean? So refreshing? Has oil not been discovered? Or perhaps the people are unaware it can be used as an energy source...

"Well, well, hello there!" A voice called out. That's strange, you could have sworn there were no lifeforms on this cliff when selecting the destination of the portal. Perhaps they just arrived? That must be it.

You turned towards the voice. There stood a boy, dressed in white and green. His hair tied in two front-plaits as he smiled at you expectantly, waiting for you to respond to his greeting.

If it weren't for his shorts being so... tight... you would have mistaken him for a girl. You definitely weren't looking though, definitely not. Such behaviour is unacceptable for a Princess.

But it did look humiliating for the boy in front of you.

"Hello." You nodded back to him, thinking whether to walk towards him. After a second of thinking, you decide to do so.

It's not like there's another way down this cliff after all.

"You look like you could use some help. As the third time running 'Most Popular Bard', I'll definitely be the right person to ask!" He waved, strumming his golden brown lyre in his hands. You nodded once more, and prepared the question you wanted to ask.

"I'm here for business. Would you happen to know where I can find a Cecilia?"

"Hohoh! A Cecilia you say?" He wondered to himself outloud. "Yes, yes, a beautiful flower. My favourite flower, in fact! You can find them on this cliff anywhere."

Wow. You felt stupid for asking. But seriously, what is up with this boy? Stop talking like that, it's irritating. Fix those Boy Scout rags you call shorts. They don't even look like shorts to you, that's how visible they're making his--

Let's just... avert your attention, you forgot you told yourself to not look.

"Thank you. It seems I didn't look hard enough." You curtsied in respect to him. "I'll be looking around now."
