The outside temple is surrounded by lush green trees that have aged beautifully and carry beautiful blossoming jasmine flowers with a pink and white outline. The candles melted around the temple shine brightly and bring a light of glory to the place.

I am here to help the needy. I am well respected in the town. I can not accept lying.
What a beautiful bird you are! Magnificent! What message do you have for me? *SHRIEK*  A message!  From the chief of your order!  Really though, where do you keep your fish? Right this way. There is a pond full of carp around the corner. Feel free to have a snack. Oh thank you!  Thank you!  *SHRIEK* You really should read the scroll, he said it's very important - life or death! Oh yes, let me see. It says that the war is gaining closer to the temple and we are to evacuate by tomorrow.. Well, I will help you evacuate the fish!  *SHRIEK*  At least ten can fit in my belly. Guess I shouldn't waste this either! Eat up! You can always come back and finish once the fighting has moved through. These look tasty too!  *SHRIEK*  Have you tried some? We don't usually eat them but we do make the finest perfume from them. We use it in out oils.. Oh.  *Sad Shriek*  Well you can have them then.  I smell great! *happy shriek* Why don't you take this with you in case we do not meet again. I plan to stay and protect my temple. I will! *SHRIEK*  Good luck in your running away! *SHRIEK*
