Kel and party enter the chamber.
"Oh my!" Gina says. "It's amazing and the waterfall is so lovely."
"Thank you Zexen." the sentry says. "Most of your people don't appreciate our home."
"Their loss." Gina says. "The coolness is also a relief after the walk in the sun."
"Yes the coolness is good here." the sentry smiles. "But near the waterfall with its dampness. Oh it is heaven."
"May I experience it before we must leave." Gina says.
"This way." the sentry moves on.

Kel and party follow the sentry toward the fountain. They stop in front of it.
"The waterfall sounds soothing." Kel remarks.
"Yes more so that I remember from my time here." Aro says.
"May I touch the water?" Gina asks.
"Go ahead." The sentry smiles.
"Thank you." Gina touches the water. "Oh my! It is really cold."
"It comes from the mountains in an underground stream." The sentry replies. "Is it not heaven to sit here."
"You're very right that it is." Gina replies. "This is an excellent spot for relaxing."
"Glad you agree wait here." The sentry runs off.
"What was that all about?" Kel asks.
"I think Gina impressed him." Aro says. "I am quite shocked."
"Really Aro?" Gina smiles. "Why is that so shocking?"
"Never mind." Aro sighs.
They all go back to appreciating the fountain in silence.

The sentry returns with a covered tray. "If I remember correctly the lady asked to try our food?" the sentry asks.
"I did." Gina replies. "Am I correct in assuming you have brought some to us?"
"Indeed." the sentry smiles. "It is a fish stew. This fish can only be found in waterways underground."
"Sounds delightful." Gina smiles back. "Shall we eat?"
"Right away." The sentry hands out bowls and joins them for lunch. "So what are you three traveling for?"
"Well..." Kel says. "A spirit quest. I was visited by my parents and then a stronger spirit. It all lead me here to see if I was worthy enough to enter Brunte."
"Brunte?" the sentry scolds. "Never heard of it."
"It was mostly destroyed long ago." Aro says. "This is quite wonderful stew."
"I agree quite good." Gina says. "And I normally hate fish."
"Glad to hear it." The sentry smiles. "I made it myself. Started it this morning."
"Amazing." Kel says.
They continue eating.

The group finishes eating.
"That was a wonderful meal...." Gina grimaces. "I am so sorry we never introduced ourselves properly or asked for your name. I am Gina Stoller. The is Aro. And the red head is Kel Morgan. And your name?"
"My name is Shibandrantoral, but everyone calls me Shi." the sentry says. "It is nice to make the acquaintance of a Zexen exploring his other roots and a Zexen lady exploring the world. I am impressed with your openness with me."
"Is being open rare?" Gina asks.
"Quite rare." Shi says. "Most outsiders are over-cautious with us. I guess it is our warrior nature. I don't think some of the tribe help much still saying 'Ironhead'."
"It is a term we have come to accept." Kel says. "I know many people on our side still call the tribes barbarians. I enjoy the freedom your lives allow. Zexen is stiff."
"I agree." Gina says. "My father wants me to be a proper Zexen, but I want to be out here so much it hurts at times."
"That is because you are a good person." Aro says. "Many good people exist on both sides of any conflict, but they are usually not the ones in power. The Zexen Council is a prime example of that."
"Did I just hear him right?" Gina asks. "Did Aro just compliment me?"
"I believe he did." says Shi. "I must return to my duties. It was a pleasure and I hope to see you all again. Goodbye."
"Goodbye, Shi" Kel and party say. Shi takes his tray and leaves.
"Such a nice lizard man." Gina says. "So shall we go?"
"Yes." Kel says. "We will camp on the plains tonight."
They gather their things and head out.
"If we ever come back can we explore more?" Gina asks.
"Sure." Kel says.
