A good while later Matrix and AndrAIa arrived at the oddly shaped gate. Matrix placed his hand on one of the two palm trees that made up the gate, running his hand up it. AndrAIa, meanwhile, leaned forwards to study the actual portal inside the gate.
"Looks like a classic portal," Matrix said, taking his hand off the tree and walking over to AndrAIa. "Nothing complicated."
AndrAIa simply nodded in response. The two of them had seen things similar to this in the hundreds...maybe thousands of games they had battled through. She was beginning to appreciate that their vast knowledge of countless environments might end up paying off here.
"What do you think?" Matrix asked after she said nothing for a minute.
"We might as well go through," AndrAIa responded. "There's all these portals, but we're at this one."
"I just walked in a direction at random," Matrix reminded her.
"Well, all this white is giving me a headache," AndrAIa said. "I mean, look at these arches. With any luck, it might be somewhere a little tropical."
Matrix laughed, knowing her all too well. After all, she came from a water based game and utilized a full set of abilities and weapons that reflected it. It was only fair that she sometimes longed to be back in a similar environment, if only for a little bit.
"Alright. If you say so," Matrix agreed, stepping closer to the portal.
AndrAIa smiled and stepped into the portal, turning and winking as she did. As she did, she stepped her final step backwards, vanishing as she entered gate. Matrix just sighed as he walked forward as well.
"Here goes nothing," the renegade mumbled as he stepped into it.
With a final step, Matrix entered the gate as well. The portal whisked him away to the same place as AndrAIa: the Vasty Deep.
