Well, this wasn't right. The last thing Rapunzel remembered was being tied up in her tower, a piece of cloth tied around her mouth to muffle her yells. She had felt herself passing out before, but she'd only expected to wake back up in the nightmare she'd been in before. There was no way she'd have thought she'd find herself laying in a patch of grass right next to a river, her long, long, long hair rolling out on the ground beside her. Rapunzel gasped as she sat up, green eyes wide with shock, wonder, and the remnants of fear.
"Where am I? What happened?" The girl slowly got to her feet, the bare soles brushing lightly over the blades of grass beneath her. She reached down and gathered up her hair, trying to piece together what had happened. She'd been so scared, wondering if Eugene would come for her and meet Mother Gothel's blade when he arrived. Had he come for her and managed to save her without getting hurt? Had he taken her away from the tower?
"Eugene?" she called out hopefully, wondering if he had just wandered off for some reason. No, that wasn't likely; if he had found her, the last thing he would do was leave her again. Right? She frowned, slowly winding her hair around her arm as she pondered her situation. It was time to figure out what was going on... Rapunzel was more than capable, despite the discouragement Gothel had given her all her life. The blonde's eyes had now fallen upon the huge castle that she was standing in front of, and the large gate with two giants just ahead. This certainly wasn't the Kingdom... she knew that much.
With a determined look, she padded over to the line of people waiting to get inside, hoping to find something familiar once she went in. She was welcomed to 'Paixao', given a small pink box-thing, and ushered inside. She would have gone further in, if she wasn't stopped by the sheer beauty of the place she had just entered. Despite her initial panic, Rapunzel's eyes were now lighting up.
