Meeting a princess appeals to you. You turn to Belldandy. "The princess it shall be."

She smiles. "I thought you would choose that one. Step through the mirror." She touches the mirror, and it ripples like water.

You step through and find yourself inside a strange, dark, dank, dismal, but furnished cavern. Strange short green robed humanoids scuttle about. One stops and stares at you. "Are you a Terran?"

You stare at the monster for a moment, trying to think of what a Terran is... then you remember you happen to be one. "I am indeed a Terran. I am looking for the princess."

The withered green creature looks at you. "Hmm, I am not sure if I should disturb her. She is with her fiancee." A chill runs down your spine at the word "fiancee."

"I can wait. It is the duty of a Samurai to be patient." The whithered green creature takes you to a table and sits you down. You end up waiting for several hours as the strange green creatures scuttle hither and yon on various tasks. You pray that the princess is not one of them.

She isn't. Soon a beautiful woman with green hair, horns, and a strange hairpiece emerges from one of the side tunnels with a confused looking Japanese teen in tow. She looks much more human than the green critters. She stares at you, as does the teen. He rushes over to you. "Are you from Japan?" he says.

"Yes, I am."

"How did you get here?" He looks shocked to see you.

"A goddess sent me here," you reply.

"Wow, we must be the only two people from Japan still alive." He looks a little nostalgic. A feeling of horror rushes over you.

"The only two people alive?"

"Don't you know Japan was destroyed?" He seems shocked you don't know.

You are beginning to think that journeying to the world of Outlanders was not the wisest of ideas...
