You walk into a room containing only a sofa with small table in front f it. The area that
would be taken up with a bed is full of life. Plants hang on the walls with vines reaching
around the room, potted trees are placed in the corners and blooming flowers rest in a
pot.
Light shines in from almost every direction. Looking up, you see the light from above is
designed to give a more natural light to the room than the lights in the other rooms. The
window is large and lets a wonderfully warm flow of
natural light spill in from outside.
As you look around you�re surprised to see one of the vines on a hanging plant begin to
pull in from its stretch across the room. Slowly the vine pulls in to the body of the plant it
grows from, then moves down to the floor. Surprised, you watch as the vine thickens,
grows arms and legs and then separates from the plant to become the form of a man.
| Hello. I�m sorry if I startled
you. I was just enjoying the new room that was given to me. I�m
Odo. |
The man offers his hand in greeting, smiling a warm smile.
| I�m afraid I don�t have much
of interest for visitors, but you�re welcome to sit and visit for a
while. |
He indicates the sofa, which you sit in thankfully. It�s been a long walk around this
castle.
While you sit you notice several pictures framed on the table. The man picks each up,
handing one at a time to you as he explains them.
| I come from a world we
called Gaia. These pictures were taken there. This one was
taken the day the whole community gathered for Planting Day. This one was taken after I was reunited with
Nerys. |
The man lets out a quiet chuckle.
| Laura gave it to me. Don�t
ask me how she got it, no one was there with us... |
He shows you the final picture, smiling a gentle smile.
After taking a moment to look at the picture again, he sets it down.
| I�m afraid that�s all I have to
offer at the moment. I haven�t lived in the Castle long enough to acquire many things, nor
do I really need to. That I�m with my friends is all that I could
need. |
You smile and say that you should be on your way. Something in you almost hates to
leave this bright room, but reasons that you can�t stay here forever.
| Feel free to come back and
visit any time. |
You nod, promise to return when you can and walk out.
