As you walk from the height of Mount Olympus, wondering at the beauty of the divine world that lies around you, you realize that you are slowly walking further and further into a forest with sunlight filtering in through the leaves. You feel drawn forward by a force you can't begin to understand. You continue to walk forward.
As you walk, the light grows dimmer, and you are walking in a world of twilight. Mist sits heavily on the ground like mounds of snow, and music resounds in your ears. There is so much beauty here, but it feels so sacred, you worry your presence may be unwelcome, despite the invitations from the Gods.
Suddenly a Centaur rides up. At first you are frightened, for Centaurs are known to be quite violent and easily offended. But as the Centaur approaches slowly you see he looks quite civilized, and holds his bow and arrows up in a peaceful manner when he sees the expression of terror on your face. Despite his kindly expression, you feel frightened and stutter, "W-w-where am I?"
Before he responds, a gorgeous woman with a royal air who also carries a bow and arrows steps out from behind a tree and says, "Another party goer, Chiron? Take them back to the pavilion," she indicates the direction from which the soft music seems to be coming from and moves further into the forest.
Another figure walks out from the greenery. A second lovely woman, this one somewhat shorter and less intimidating approaches you with a sword. Her eyes are milky white but she does not seem to be blind. Feeling more daring, you ask her, "What is this place?"
"Welcome to the Forest of the Divine."
