Tranquil shrine to Apollo, the god of light.
You are able to see by the light of the lute. You find yourself in a small,
concealed sanctuary dedicated to the God of Light. This surreal sanctuary
seems to be characteristic of what you would expect from a bardic tale.
Around you, brilliantine light shines down from above through the leaves of
ancient trees and at the centre of this private retreat, small nymphs dance
about joyfully flittering and playing in the beams of light. The haven is in
the shape of a triangle and although you are in a small, enclosed space,
there are statues depicting the image of Apollo, the god of light at each
corner and bushy laurel trees line the enclosure. In one of these corners
stands a much larger statue than the others, with a small, ancient, modest,
wooden tabernacle standing before it. The altar, upon which this rests, is
made of what appears to be pure gold. A cushion of the finest silk,
intertwined with golden lace, depicting an image of the sun seated upon her
throne, lies at its base, evidently used for kneeling upon to pray. All
around, you feel a comforting vibe and you have much peace of mind, feeling
safer than ever before. There is not a sound but that of a bird singing
behind you. An awe inspiring golden phoenix is perched in one of the laurel
trees, singing heartily. However, you are unable to see this legendary bird
very clearly for the sun shines too brightly off its golden feathers and it
is just out of reach to touch, though would you dare disturb a bird of such
virtue? There is a distinct feeling of privacy here. Apollo, the god of light
is here, bathed in divine splendour. Light Mistress Rhiannon is here. Telemna
is here. An ethereal mist hangs in the air about Light Mistress Rhiannon. A
shiny pearl necklace adorned with a rose coloured cameo lies here.
You are able to see by the light of the lute. You notice a single exit, north.
Apollo is standing nearby, bathed in divine splendour. Apollo is wielding the
sword of the knights in his right hand, and nothing in his left.
Apollo, the god of light frowns uncertainly.

mildly surprised when after a matter of seconds all that remains are a few
pieces of charred teeth and bone.

Mercinae who escort him away silently for his presence here is unwelcome.

You scratch your head uncertainly.
