The door indeed lead to an outdoor area and the Bride paused in the doorway a moment to let her eyes adjust. She then moved out into the fresh air and looked around for any possible creatures or people. She didn't see any and noted the two doors. One was the one they wanted and the other... hadn't been on her map.

Blue eyes moved to the sky and she searched for any circling giant birds, readying the glass shard that had taken the life of the last one she'd encountered. One that had tried to eat Mion.
"We shouldn't linger," the Bride said in a quiet voice. "Remember what happened when we came back from the town..."
