Another Chance At Life; The Dimension Gate

Sting hovered through the expanse of whiteness until it turned completely black, all to his suppressed fear. "Maybe I really did die..." he thought aloud. "What sort of dishonorable death did I have where I ended up in an abyss as an afterlife...?" He could only wonder what he did wrong.

The void of blackness eventually came to a hovering platform with a single large portal open before it. There was nothing else there, and the portal seemed to be a blend of a lot of different, almost indistinct, places. Sting strained his eyes gazing into it, but he saw bits and pieces of what seemed familiar to him.

"... The Dusk...?" he muttered, squinting hard, trying to make out the locations swirling within the massive portal. "... But... It looks different... And... What's that?" He noticed many other things within the portal that were foreign but interesting to him. He wished to know more about this portal.

Still, Sting was a sharp young man and could obviously tell that if he was to step through the portal haphazardly, he may end up in a location where he was in a hazardous situation. He needed to figure out a way to control it, or to at least get it to set at a stable location.

"Hmmm..." Sting thought hard about it all, but nothing changed as he stood on the platform with the open portal. "... This is frustrating." Already, he was tired of trying to make heads or tails of this portal.

But then it hit him -- he'd been wandering around the white void for a short time until he thought of wishing to go to a different location. Then, when he was looking for a place to land, this place showed up. Perhaps that meant that if he thought about it, then he could influence what happened with the portal, as well.

"It is worth the old college try," Sting assured himself, gazing into the portal and trying his best to make out a location that seemed pleasant, or populated.

"There!" Sting shouted, his eyes widening as he spotted a beautiful looking plain with many flowers. Surely enough when he spotted it, he stepped through at that very instant and allowed himself to hopefully be taken straight there. If his hunch was wrong, however... He could find himself in danger.

It was do or die, now.
