I awoke at the sound of a rooster singing. It was strange, hadn't I stayed with Jason and Tim? Garfield didn't live here, and they didn't keep farm animals as pets unless I had been brought to Damian's little zoo at his home, for the smell was intense. I blinked, at least I had civilian clothes on, so if I traveled it would be easy. The roof was made of wood, it made no sense, at least I still had my bag with me. I looked around, I realized, I didn't know this place. Was it what people called a farm? I hear footsteps and looked up to see a boy staring at e. He couldn't be older than fourteen.

"Talk to her"

 A male voice resounded in my head, just like I remember Jo'nn's used to do.

"What!? NO"

"I can hear you both," I said calmly. Both seemed surprised, or I assumed the voice did since I couldn't hear him. "Hello, I apologize for intruding. But I don't know how I got here nor where I am"

"Uh...this is Mistral"

"I don't think the young lady knows what that is"

" So, I will assume I am in another planet..."I mumbled and sighed. "Would you allow me to stay with you? I promise to aid you in anything I can"

"I...well...I guess" said the boy hesitantly. "I'm Oscar Pine"

"I am Ozpin"

"Koriand'r" I wasn't going to use Starfire anymore...that was the first nickname Dick had given me. Then I realized he had a backpack as well. "May I ask, are you leaving this place as well?"

"Well...yes..."he mumbled ashamed.

"Then, would you mind if I go with you? I would like to know more about this place, as well as help in your quest" I said using the staps of my bag to turn it into a more efficient backpack.

"I think it would be a good idea, the more, the merrier"

"Ok...I guess so" said Oscar with a smile.

We started walking towards the road calmly. 

"Believe me, you get used to visitors in your head, in my world, there were three people who were able to do that," I told him, knowing how hard it must be for a human.

"I see, so you have fused souls?"

"Not that I know of, but they were martian and a half-demon"

"I don0t think I can get used to it," admitted Oscar. "Even leaving home sounds crazy!"

"Sometimes, what is best for us seems crazy, unthinkable, but I know you can do it. And I will be there every step of the way" I assured him, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"But...why? You don't know me!"

"I believe I can trust you. I have faith. You aren't the only person I ever trusted this way, nor will you be that last. Leaving home is an adventure on its own...I had to do it as well"

"Very wise words miss Koriand'r. But if I may ask, why did you leave home?"

I sighed, always hating this question. "My sister hated the fact that the throne would belong to me, so she organized a coup and I had to escape to save my life"

"Wait! So you are a princess?! Royalty!? A queen?!" 

"Not anymore" I answered with a sad smile. "The only power I hold is my own"

"Well, I suppose that's good"

"Yes, it is. May you point the direction we are going in?"
