Kiyotaka POV

We stepped outside my room and made our way down the corridor and hallways with Professor Dumbledore guiding me towards the exit. On the way, I saw many bodies, of the instructors as well as the guards, lying unconscious, which Professor moved to the side with a flick of his wand. Eventually we reached the exit, and before me stood the gate to the outside world.

Professor Dumbledore stood to the side making way to me with a small smile. I understood what he meant to say without any words being exchanged. I stepped forward, held the handle, closed my eyes and took a deep breath, and pushed outward.

I can't believe I am saying this but, I stepped out of the White Room. I slowly opened my eyes, and what greeted me left my amazed.

Emerging from the confines of my solitary chamber, I step tentatively into a world I never seen. The air, crisp and invigorating, fills my lungs with newfound vitality as I drink in the panorama that unfolds before me.

Mountains, towering and majestic, rise like ancient titans from the earth, their rugged silhouettes etched against the canvas of the sky. Clad in a tapestry of greens, browns, and blues, they command reverence and awe, their peaks crowned with a diadem of wispy clouds that dance in the sunlight.

Trees, tall and proud, stand sentinel along the mountainsides, their branches swaying gently in the breeze. Leaves of every shade imaginable cloak their boughs, creating a mosaic of colors that dazzles the eye and stirs the soul. In their midst, a carpet of wildflowers stretches as far as the eye can see, a riotous explosion of pinks, purples, yellows, and blues that seems to defy logic and reason.

Above, the sky stretches out in an endless expanse of azure, its depths punctuated by the occasional wisp of cloud that drifts lazily across the firmament. The sun, a radiant orb of warmth and light, casts its benevolent gaze upon the land, infusing every leaf, every petal, with a luminous glow.

As I stand amidst this symphony of color and light, I feel a sense of liberation wash over me, as though I have finally been set free from the shackles of my former existence. Here, in this untamed wilderness, I am no longer bound by the limitations of the white walls. Here, beneath the open sky, I am truly alive.

Professor Dumbledore just stood there and observed me while I just walked forward towards one of the trees and felt its rough and strong trunk with my hands. Then I bent down and observed the beautiful little flowers growing all around.

After a little more observation and exploration of nature, I walked back towards Prof. Dumbledore who had been watching me with a smile on his face.

Kiyotaka: "We can leave now Professor."

Dumbledore: "Very well. We will be going to your father's mansion first where you will first get yourself cleaned up and get acquainted with your butler. Then we will go to meet the person I wanted you to meet. And do not worry about your butler, he is not with your father's way of doing things so he will not give you up to your father."

Hmm... looks like he didn't agree with that man's ideals, so he won't betray me. But I'll stay on guard just in case and gauge his reactions and behavior, to find hints of betrayal if any. 

Kiyotaka: "That's fine with me sir."

Dumbledore: "Oh, and I was thinking you would like to have a view of this new world that you have been shown, so I was thinking that we should take a bus to our destination, which will allow to you the outskirts as well as Metropolitan Tokyo."

Kiyotaka: "Thank you for your consideration, I would very much like that."

And so, I turned my back on the White Room, hoping to never see it again. We walked down a path through the forest down the mountain and within 30 minutes arrived onto the roads. After walking a bit, we found the bus stop. We waited for a few minutes in silence while I observed everything around me, as well as the behavior of the people nearby. We were on the outskirts so there weren't many people.
