A crumbling hole gapes in the side of the stone, surrounded by rotted wood timbers. A few rusted pieces of block and tackle lay half-buried in scraggly grass. A strange sort of humming noise emanates from within.

I am fully devoted to the lord. I believe that only following his word I can achieve important things in life. I enjoy reading the sacred scripts and praying.
I think that I feel the presence of the Lord here. Has the King sent you here to investigate as well? I think that the King has sent this place to us, so that we might know ourselves Anything to get out of the royal court. I couldn't stand another minute pretending to admire the Queen.  This is the word of the true King. I think that this is the reason that we were brought here together. It seems a great tragedy occurred here based on the state of ruin.  The only true tragedy is not knowing the Lord. This place is just a symbol for a heart that has been abandoned to decay by following false desires. Perhaps I will escape the court life to join your Temple. I could use the change of scenery and to be away from all their corruption.  Yes, devotee. Enlightenment will come once you realize that a single King is all there is. This rotten timber, these rusted pieces of block and tackle are but means of distracting you from the humming and chanting that will lead you to the true king. I would be more than humbled to devote myself to God. The Queen has treated me with nothing but contempt since I joined the court. I cannot tolerate her ruthlessness  any longer!  The true King has no queen to nag him. I suppose I no longer have a reason to investigate this mine. Shall we head back so you may show me what temple life is like?
