So, the theory of the Multiverse that she heard from her father was true. There were more than one world and one universe. But why was it acting up now? Why did this tower activate and bring them here? So many questions yet so little time.
"Why did the tower bring us here? Is it acting on its own?"

Two of them were eager to return to their home world. Hotaru was eager to learn more about the tower. Arya wanted to learn more about Luca herself. She claimed to be a god, yet her power didn't overextend Utopia and this space. It made her wonder how she came into her powers to begin with.
"How you come to be a god?"
It was a simple question that may have created many different kind of answers. Arya would see just what kind of answer Luca came up with.

Luca could sense the urgency from the four women in front of her. They all wanted to go back to their realms, which was understandable. They all wanted answers from her. Sadly, Luca was certain some of them wouldn't like the answers she could give.
"I would be more than willing to guide you back home, but sadly my power does not permit that. Anything in Utopia I can do, but anything that involves the borders of Utopia I cannot."
Luca's blue eyes then settled on Hotaru once again.
"Yes, my child. It would seem the tower is acting on its own somehow. Transporting people at random to this world. None of us have been able to discover why yet."
And finally Luca's sight settled on Arya Stark who seemed to be the most disciplined apart from Gabrielle.
"Now that's a long story, but to make it shorter I've merely ascended my consciousness and became one with this place. If you wish to hear the specifics you'll have to stay just a little while longer." |

"You can't do anything? Anything at all?"
Utena was distraught. How could a god be a god and not even have the power to send them home. Create a reality out of dead realities yes, but not be able to send someone back to their own home world. It didn't make sense to her.
"Then I'm going back to the tower to find out for myself."
Utena couldn't stay here and talk when there was a action to be had. She turned around and started to walk back towards the portal.

"Hold up, Utena. I'll come with. Perhaps the two of us can make some headway with it."
Gabrielle glanced at Luca one more time before turning around back to where the portal was facing them. She picked up speed to catch up to Utena and then continued to walk forward. If a god couldn't do it then maybe woman can.

"Where are you two going? Do you really think if all of Jenesis and Utopia can't figure out that tower that you two can? We should stay here and find out more about the place we've landed."
Hotaru trusted Luca. Strangely enough. Maybe it was because of her face or her gentle voice, but Hotaru trusted they could stay here and be safe. And perhaps even find the answers they so desperately seek.

"I agree with Hotaru. We should stay here and see what all we can learn before venturing off on our own. Besides, I'd like to get to know you better, Valentine."
Arya smiled at Luca. There was something about her presence and beauty that brought Arya peace that she hasn't felt since being reunited with her House and Family. Maybe there was some good to come from staying here and talking to Luca Valentine further.

"Your friends are right. You'll only drive yourself insane trying to figure out something you know nothing about. Stay here. I can teach you all you need to know about Jenesis."
Luca then smiled over at Arya who seemed to have taken a liking to her.
"And I would enjoy getting to know you better as well, Arya Stark." |

Utena stopped her approach of the portal back to the tower and turned back around to the others.
"I have to do something! I can't just sit around and do nothing. There has to be a way back to our worlds, there just has to be!"
Utena wasn't the type to give up and she could be rather stubborn when she wanted to be. Still, the more she thought the logic of it the more they were right. No way she and Gabrielle could get the tower going anytime soon. Just no way.
"What exactly would we be learning about Jenesis?"

Gabrielle put a reassuring hand on Utena's shoulder in an attempt to calm the young one down. Gabrielle knew she was the oldest in their group, with Arya being second oldest, so Gabrielle felt an urge to protect the younger ones.
"It's going to be alright, Utena. We'll find a way home. Until then maybe we should listen to what Valentine has to say."

Hotaru was relieved that both Utena and Gabrielle was willing to see reason. How often did the Outer Sols argue with the Inners on what to do in a situation like this back at home? But she was far from them now. Hotaru could only hope they would be alright.
"How about we go to a place more private then?"

Arya cocked an eyebrow at Luca who just said her name. Arya had no recollection of telling the woman her name, but perhaps she either overheard it or was it another benefit to being a god in her own land.
"I don't recall giving you my name."
Hotaru then suggested they go somewhere more private and Arya agreed.
"Yes, I believe someplace more intimate would be best."

"Perks of being a god. I know everyone's name who comes into Utopia."
It would seem the four finally decided on a course of action, and Luca would be more than welcome to lead them somewhere more intimate as Arya had chosen to call it. Catching on to the way the Stark girl was addressing her.
"Follow me."
Luca led her to a large gray structure which had a statue of a beautiful Enchantress on the roof. They entered the building and went through very large rooms with silver floors and blue rugs as they reached an audience room where the five could sit down and talk. Luca took her seat in a chair and waited for the others to sit.
"This is our main headquarters and housing area of Utopia. Home of the Enchantress." |

Utena nodded over to Gabrielle. As much as she hated to admit it, Gabrielle made a valid point. Utena joined the others in following Luca to their main base. Coming to a chambers room and sitting down across from Luca. Once she started talking about Enchantress Utena became curious.
"Who's the Enchantress?"

Gabrielle followed them to what doubled as a castle and a temple and sat down in her seat when they made it to Luca's private chambers. When Luca started talking about an Enchantress it made Gabrielle wonder if there was someone else over Luca in authority in Utopia. She saw no reason not to ask.
"Is there someone higher up than even you, Luca?"
