The room beyond was utterly staggering; a great green hollow of massive fit stones, like the shaft of a well, but large enough that her father's gardens could nestle within. Beyond the small ledge where she stood quivering, the ceiling rose several hundred hands to a green canopy, shining with the golden light of the afternoon sky, supported by a massive tree. Below her platform, the tree swooped down half again that height and fanned out into wide roots which burrowed into the stones or followed the walls as they narrowed into a dark pool; frighteningly blue.
