Ooh what a beautiful room. I love the descriptions in the first paragraph.

Definitly has a dreamy quality to it.
Loved the line: “chimes always sing the pleasure of the wind”
But I want to know what the insects were doing and what the gold like substance felt like. Maybe I’m more tactile. But what a great start to your house!

singing portals now.. that’s a beautiful room, what we can see of it so far.. ;)

1. beautiful descriptions, but Dr. Ackula (my muse of gore, horror, macabre, and all things creepy) keeps screaming: “Here be dragons”, and Audrey Hepburn (she’s my muse of glamour and pose) keeps repeating “not all that glisters is gold”

I guess what I’m saying is this courtyard reminds me of a beautiful singing mermaid…go to it and your ship will be dashed on the rocks.
