Just Looking Around

[Albert Wesker]

He staggered unevely through the gate and out onto grass, dropping to one knee under the bright, natural sunlight. One hand on his face, over his eyes, the other loosely wrapped about an orb of Omnilium, faintly swirling and spinning, much like the wheels of his bicycle, which was nowhere in sight. Shortly before he had passed through the portal, he had gotten a sinking feeling that trying to take his wheeled conveyance with him wouldn't quite work out right, somehow. He didn't know why, but with his already present momentum, he didn't have time to fully stop, only to hop off of the bike and dismiss it, back to the Omnilium he had summoned it from.

The awkward change in momentum and footing, combined with his sudden rush through the portal, left him feeling heavily disoriented. For a split-second it seemed like he was at Marineford again, watching Whitebeard throw the very world into chaos, shaking and quaking the entire island and even the sea, turning the world upside down. And then it was passed, and he was on firm ground. Firm, solid, visible ground.

He remained still for several long moments to get his bearings before he rose back up to stand again. He gave the area about him a quick look over. Grass, those peculiar, huge stones standing upright, and farther off, a forest and other details which faded into the distance. And the distance was what had the majority of his attention. He could see, not a truly unreasonable distance off, what looked to be a small village or town. Farther off, barely visible in the distance, were a number of other such villages, and standing tall above everything was what looked to be a large city built onto the slopes of a mountain.

Details were hard to make out from distances.

There really wasn't much point in just standing around staring at nothing in particular, though. Dropping his gaze to the Omnilium in his hand, he pondered as to why he hadn't been able to bring Ao Chari through the portal with him. Trying to think about just summoning it again on this side of the portal produced a sharp, unpleasant sensation that told him it might not be a good idea to actually try. Turning his mind to other things that he could use in its place produced no such effect, and so he let his mind wander aimlessly, thinking of a suitable transportation means.

The scenery and the general feel of the place soon made up his mind for him, and he focused in his mind on summoning a horse. The Omnilium in his hand started to glitter more noticably, and he tossed it upon the ground to ready it for its reshaping into what he needed, sticking his hands in his pockets as he waited.
