::As Di leads you along the staircase that spirals through
the Tower, the blond-haired Author falls into a quiet mood, one
that could almost be considered mild embarrassment. Finally she
stops at a landing about midway up the height of the black stone
structure and turns toward the doorway::
::The entrance they face is slightly breathtaking, an
archway filled with a pair of gilded bronze doors sculpted in
high relief. The scenes appear to be ones of everyday life on the
Gemlords' now-destroyed homeworld of Lithos, a mute testimony to
how things used to be::
::The blond woman gestures to the doors:: Here is your
chosen destination, the Art Museum of the Obsidian Tower. In
here, you'll find all the pictures that are scattered throughout
the tour gathered here in one place, as well as perhaps a few
extras found nowhere else in the Tower. ::Her cheeks flush faintly pink and she adds, in a very
soft voice:: I still think I write better than I draw...
::With that, she pushes open the glittering gold doors and
steps inside. You find yourself in a room that spans the entire
eighth floor. Set up like a museum, with corridors that are lined
with framed pictures spotlighted by track lighting, the room is a
showcase of visual media. With a gesture, she waves you inside::
Go on, take your time. Browse around all you want. By the way,
there *is* one picture there that's a bit racy, but still
tasteful, so don't be too offended by it. At least I hope
you won't be.
::Di then slips back out the door to wait in silence for
you to wander through the collection::
