Douglas found himself looking into the face of a beautiful woman, who was greeting him and welcoming to Eloru.  It was apparent that he had crossed some sort of dimensional gate.  He wondered if this was actually another dimension, or simply a far away world in his own dimension.  Either way, he knew that he was a long, long way from home.<br/><br/>"Eloru.  I am from Earth, but we call ourselves Earthlings."  He stood awkwardly.  "What just happened?  Why am I here?"  He looked around him at the people, who were dressed so oddly.  The woman's dress looked to him like something Princess Leia would wear.<br/><br/>He looked and saw the crystal in her hand.  He slowly held up his own hand and showed her his crystal.
