Looking over the map your eye is immediately drawn to the "Butterfly Garden." You remember the giant butterflies at the Elven airfield and how much you longed to ride upon one. Maybe something like that will be available to you in the gardens. You press your fingers to the map and the ground goes out from under you like a rug.
You blink and find yourself sitting on soft grass inside a giant green house filled with flowering plants. There are blossoms in every color you can imagine, even some metallic blooms that catch the light as if they were made of gold leaf. Before you is the arched entrance to a hedge maze. You approach this, disappointed that, so far, you have seen no butterflies. However, as you step into the maze you hear a rustling noise like the sound of a breeze shaking a thousand leaves.You turn and see what you thought were flowers springing into the air, fluttering their wings. At least half the flowers have now revealed themselves to be butterflies and are dancing in the air about you. You stop to admire them. They swirl together, the beating of their wings in concert moving the air about the room and stirring your hair.
Soon they are landing on you, their delicate feet tickling ever so slightly. They start to lead you subtly towards the maze once more. You enter the maze at their bidding and soon find yourself at the first crossroad: left or right. The butterflies keep circling you then waltzing off the the right only to come back when you don't immediately follow.
It is clear that they want you to go towards the right.
Do you oblige?
or
Are you too strong willed to be led about by insects so you go left?
