The nymph noticed the humans sniff the air with a longing expression in their eyes. She remembered that the evening meal was done. "Ah, yes. I believe the meal is ready." She ushered them into one of the branching rooms. The inside might as well have been outside as vines twisted along the walls and grass grew on the floors. A long stone table sat in the middle of the room, set for a meal. Exotic looking vegetables, fruits, and meats adorned the plants.

"We do not eat much meat in Lord Acteron's realm. The forest animals are under our god's protection. Do not expect a venison steak every night," the nymph explained. "Lord Acteron will not be joining us tonight. He is preparing the necessary charms and spells needed for your transformations." With that, the nymph bowed and left the room.
