  Vines, leaves, saplings, shrubs, trees, and flowers cover the surfaces of
this room, if it even is a room and not some portal to the outside.  A
weeping willow hangs over a small cobblestone bridge in the distance, and
you can see large golden fish and contented talkative ducks inhabiting the
clear stream below it.  Far beyond that are large elephants with zebras
hustling in and among the herd.  Looking down, you see footprints alien to
your knowledge of taxonomy, while glowing eyes with lids blinking from their
sides stare out at you hypnotically from a nearby clump of bushes.  Powerful
wings beat from somewhere not so far off wyvern, chimera, manticore, or
other construct of imagination come alive you can't be sure.  You consider
sitting upon the charming wooden bench ahead of you to ease this disquieting
sensation but are fearful of resting with the tiny little creatures that are
crawling out of the grass all around you.
