Greetings Traveler!
The Door has Open
" TRAVELERS, WELCOME TO MYTHS TAVERN! COME IN AND HAVE A SEAT. ORDER A DRINK AND ENJOY THE ATMOSPHERE. TAKE A MOMENT AND TALK WITH FELLOW TRAVELERS OVER A MUG OF OUR FINEST MEAD. TAKE A BREATHER AND LET THE WEARINESS OF THE LONG ROAD JUST SEEP FROM YOUR BONES."
This is the inscription found upon the red oak door; with a brass dragon's profile that is bellowing its fire breath center of the heavy door, that has appeared seemingly out of nowhere. As the door opens the sound of lively music, laughter, and gentle chatter spills out. An aroma of grilled meat, freshly cut cedar wood, Rich Coffee, and Fresh Poured ale reaches out like a trusted friend's hand.
Where are we?
"Where are we?" Asked the young Hyur as they sat down on the center bar stool.The dark-tanned Viera looked up from the glass she was wiping down. "Well, that depends. How long of an answer do you want? We are here and there and a little bit of everywhere and nowhere all at once."The Hyur gave a confused look causing the Viera to laugh a little."Forgive me, simply put we are in a place that links the worlds together and is outside of time." The Viera spoke in a thoughtful tone. "I would say don't throw things into the fireplace it is known to eat them.""Wait! The fireplace eat things?" The Hyur asked in disbelief."Yeah, the tavern has a mind of its own."
What Happens if we feed it?
"Wait Wait slow down...Miss you make this sound like common place thing" The Hyur said with a faint bit of panic.The Viera smiled a sweet sly smile "Sorry darling this is my home it is a daily thing; the shock and awe wore off a long time ago." During the time they had been talking she had been mixing him a drink "So I am guessing that you want the long answer of the Tavern?" She set the drink down in front of the Hyur."Please" he said picking up the bubbly green drink."If you feed the Tavern it grows. Like any living being. Tweetle Devil over there leads to a city" She points to a fire place that caused the Hyur to almost fall off their stool."There is a face!"The Viera chuckled "Yes, the being that the Tavern is on thinks it is funny to startle people who take notice. This place is a haven as long as you have a need, you are welcomed here. 'Come in peace or leave in pieces' that is a motto here."
"This is a bit much to take in" He said as he took a deep drink of the green drink that the Viera had served him. He looked at the drink.
"We call it a Hades Other places like Earth call it Death in the Afternoon." The Viera explained as she worked wiping down the bar.
"Wait earth what is that?"
The Viera smiled as the Hyur asked his question easily answering them. Explaining the rift, Anzanor, and the world beyond the fireplace.
"you live in a fasinating place bar keep. Hope the door finds me again."
