Traveling Through the Dimensions

Sequel to Visiting the North.
It's been a year since The Battle of Ultrona Tower. Winter has passed and the first signs of spring are showing themselves once again. The sun is setting on the first warm day of the season. The birds are flying to their nests to sleep. People are closing down shops and going back to their homes for the night. After a full day of practicing her magic and helping Elrin in the shoppe, The Dancing Phantom, Iris is laying in bed just starting to drift off to sleep.
She wakes in a grassy field. To her right is a huge mountain with snow-capped peaks and to her left is a small village. Towards the mountain, near the edge of the field, is a mansion that looks like time stood still. Storm clouds are moving in from the east from the village, but seem to go around the mansion. Iris gets up, not caring to brush the dirt off her clothes, and begins moving towards the Victorian style house. The circle of light still in the sky created from the storm clouds going around the area creates a bubble-like quality. Iris enters the area and is instantly overwhelmed with the smell of wildflowers and the warmth of the sun. She looks back to find snow starting to stick on the ground five feet away, on the outside of the bubble. Iris climbs the steps of the wrap around porch, not creaking even though it appears to be an old house, and approaches the front door. The antique door knocker in the shape of a lion is warm in her hand as she bangs it against the wooden door. After a few seconds and some audible hushed conversation behind the closed door, the door swings silently open.
