It was while I was working on the palace that I noticed the gate. One that should not and could not be. As I passed through the gate, I found myself in a craftsman's paradise. The gate opened onto a beautifully built city. I could see that the city was built using various styles, column fronted buildings, elegant, spired towers and colonnaded walkways.
As I walked through the city, I saw various beings. Some looked like beings of flesh and blood but clearly not human, and others seemed to be creatures of entirely spirit. Many I could Identify from histories and legends. All were engaged in some art of creation. Writing, Drawing, Building, Smithing and many other forms of crafting were being done in this city. Then I saw them a group of giant beings, they were working on some projects and around them were groups of beings watching them work. I watched as the being created wonders and then passed them into the crowds. The beings then walked away, i followed them into the heart of the great city and saw them come to the massive palace that sat in the heart of the city. The palace was a wrought of gold and other precious metals and was inlaid with gems so that it rose as a sparkling heart of the city. I wished to know who would rule in this city and so I approached the glittering doors of the palace.
As I approached the doors, they opened for me and I looked inside. Floor of polished marble and inlaid with precious metals. The walls were decorated with beautiful paintings and tapestries that seemed to tell the story of the building of the palace and the city. I moved down the halls of the palace with the halls being lit by magical lanterns set upon the wall. As I moved down the halls, I saw other giant beings engaging in crafts in a number of rooms. I felt like I was being guided down the great halls of the palace until suddenly the halls opened into a vast throne room. I looked around and saw a gilded throne and upon the throne was a giant, well-muscled man. He looked like a human, but I could feel a great power from him and when he turned his attention on me, I could feel a vast ancient mind touching mine. The being began looking into my mind and I could hear his deep voice telling me that this was the realm of creation and I was not yet ready for this place. I saw a gate form, and I was sent through it. I found myself staring at the wall back where I had begun.
