She'd found this spot a long time ago. In fact. she'd all but forgotten most of the details of her first trip to Iziz.

She'd only been a child then. She'd been evading her 'keepers'. She'd been running, then suddenly laughing as she rode the banister down spirals of stairs. Through one room, out the next. Hiding and giggling, causing everyone, including Adraudia who's bedroom she'd snuck out of, a world of trouble. When she'd finally lost them, she'd arrived at this exact spot.

There was a statue, with no marker, artfully displayed before a trio of enormous windows. The moonlight shining in through the windows cast it's visage in a green glow. She'd been enchanted. At the base of the statue there was a silver spiral in the tiles of the floor. It trailed off, vine-like down the hall, leading somewhere!

She had still been following it when they had finally caught up with her...

She had been escorted back to bed, dutifullly waiting until all was once more silent, before springing to action. She rolled over, poked Adraudia in the shoulder, waking her. She told her about the statue, but couldn't remember exactly how she'd gotten there, or where it had been. Princess Razielle was not one to make up stories, not to Adraudia at least, and she was incredibly animated about this one. So at the risk of getting into further trouble, they went out again to find the statue..

And here it was..

Razielle leaned against the wall, opposite the figure from her memory. Her ankles were crossed, her arms folded over her chest, as she stared. Had it just been a trick of the light, something more childhood fancy than memory? Or something more? The problem was.. she couldn't remember what happened next? Has they ever found it? Did they follow the path down the hall? Why couldn't she see it now?
