Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deuce Traveler" data-source="post: 3025595" data-attributes="member: 34958">You make last minute preparations before continuing, with Silas walking with his staff in his right hand and his lit torch in his left.  Because of a slight breeze, the flame casts strange shadows from the pillars, that jump and dance with each twist of the fire.  No animals are heard as you approach, just a deathly silence and a chilly wind that causes you to shiver involuntarily.You walk the upward slope and reach the beginning of the plateau.  The pillars show carvings of elven figures with wings, flying upwards in between symbols of the sun, moon, and trees.  You take another step forward in order to get a better look, when a bright flash of light temporarily blinds you.---Your vision clears and you gasp in amazement.  The trees have become wooden and beautiful, with bright, warm sunlight peering down upon you from a clear sky above you.  These strong, tall trees grow on either side of you, making a majestic mockery of the overgrown, petrified monstrosities that you had previously walked under.  All around you are elves, but of a kind you've only heard in faery tales.  Their beauty tears at your heart as these winged sylvan creatures fly gracefully around you, some circling you playfully as childish laughter reaches your ears.  The pillars next to you gleam from the sunlight with a polished finish, showing the skills of craftsmen greater than you thought possible.A delegation of female winged elves land in front of you, blocking the view of the path ahead with their formation.  They smile at you as they approach with crowns made of leaves, a beautiful song of peace issuing forth from their red lips.  Pale arms reach out, crown you, and touch you, while tender eyes look at you with wonder and promise.  They speak in a rythm that seems like song, "Heroes, welcome.  You have passed our test of courage and found the hidden observatory of the Larinthree elves.  I know you are confused, but we've been affecting your minds from afar.  Your kingdom still exists, and your friends are unharmed.  We have need of such men as you, but first you deserve to enjoy the rest of true heroes.  Come with us to the lake and join our dance.  Let us tend to you, brave Dorinthians, and give you the joy that you deserve.  We have been waiting for heroes to come to our land for so long."</blockquote>
