Dana laughs at my reaction, not mockingly, & tells me she 'wished for it', this greenery. I'm sure there's more to it, but that is the core of it. This level of creation, illusion, whatever, doesn't come easily. I start listing in my head the any number of things that could do this, none of them particularly friendly. That is, unless they want something.

"As for what I am, if I answer you this will you answer that same question for me?" Like that. "I said I would," I reply, sounding more nervous than I had intended. Whatever she is, we're in her sanctum, her domain, & I walked right into it, like a novice. This place is- it's fascinating, but probably more dangerous than it looks. As is Dana, probably. Most things are, especially the beautiful ones. Got to watch my step.
