She senses the wee creature believes this to be true. To Wat's question he responds only with a glass eyed blank look. Then he suddenly rubs the scorch mark between hi eyes with a wince as if the pain that broke the spell that held him could somehow pierce the fog that surrounds his memory with regards to how Kalbon had taken control of his mind. "The details are blurred. Distant, like a mortal lost in the mists. I only remember his voice and the urge that it caused in me to obey him without question." He shakes his head and replies sadly "I am sorry I have proven so meddlesome, and now so useless. Please forgive Ariel his trespasses and his part in this devil's cruel game."He gingerly get to his feet and shakes out his crumpled wings. "Thank you for your mercy. I have little to give you of worth." He takes a tiny pebble of amber from his pocket and drops it into Shandra's hand. "But what I have I give freely." As soon as he lets go of it, the amber swells into a decent sized stone and a trapped flying insect can be seen inside the golden mass. "I will tell my kind of your mercy this day. May that if I can not aid you today, that on another day the good will of the Winged Folk will repay your mercy in kind." As the pixie flits away, back toward the shore, the raft finally bumps into the beach of the island. The isle is smaller than it seemed from thefar shore, probably little more than 200 paces from end to end. Aside from the palace and its features, the island has a thick stand of deciduous trees, where roses grow in the shade, and a small dock, where a raft floats in the water.The palace resembles a great tunnel of unblemished white marble with a rounded ceiling accented with gilded metal fittings. Gigantic glazed windows occupy immense arches at the front and back of the structure, and the long sides of the palace are columned arcades open to the air.Water falls from the domed roof, down a channel in the sides, past the windows, and into another channel that encircles the  palace. This channel merges again on either side of the palace to flow into the lake. Stepping stones cross the channel, and a curved stairway leads over the channel and up to a veranda on a higher level.</blockquote>
