The temple foyer is a grand entrance with a soaring ceiling painted with the richest cobalt blue and ruby red paints in the entire land. Gold statues welcome the weary traveler with gods depicted in various states of repose. There are windows near the soaring ceilings that let in afternoon light from the east and the west and the floor is inlaid with the finest marble in all the land. A calm water fountain trickles peacefully in the center of the foyer.

the weary traveler
monk
My days are spent praying and meditating. I have little possessions and try to only think of others. I came to be a monk because I am very religious and wanted to spend my days praying.
You dont look like you are from here. What brings you? I have been wondering in the desert for week I am tired and in need of water! I am sorry about that. Let me fetch you water first. Thank you so much kind monk! I would be dead without you! It is ok. How did you lost your way in the desert? Well everything looks the same! Iwas going in circles for days! That is quite strange as the path is straight forward. Yes but I would occasionally glance back and would forget which way is forward! It is ok. You dont need to stress yourself over it. Where are you from? I am from deep south from a village called "tak rak". I have heard about the place. Where are you going exactly? I am going north to "gali dopley" to find my father.
