There’s a place deep in the mountains covered in Pine, Where all who come are looking for what’s mine. Where these good boys and girls utter all kinds of sounds, Ones I can hear deep below the ground. Where friends, strangers, child, and brother Search for an escape like none other.

Curiosity stirred as they inched forward. Then sharp wonder took over. They stood at the edge of a perfectly circular clear space in the hushed green glade. In the center of the sun-lit circle lay a low square dais of dazzling crystal. On the dais stood a low copper couch with strangely carved sides.
