You look down at your reflection in absolute amazment. You could have sworn that it had just spoken to you. As you look closer you see your face reshape itself and raise up out of the water a little. You slink back, not quite able to tear your eyes away from the pool. The face that had origanally been your reflection in the water floats up to the surface and becomes a complete person. She shakes her long dark brown hair out and smiles at you. her eyes are somewhere between a warm brown and a moss green. She's rather tall, and dressed in a long black velvety dress with bell sleeves that barely touch the surface of the water, which she appears to be standing on. Her hair and clothes are dry, even though you know she just came out of the water.

"How are you? welcome to my little corner of the web. My name is Imandra. I'm not sure how you found you way here, but please enjoy your stay. you can sit here if you like, but the more amusing things are up amongst the branches."

As she speaks you notice she's floating over to dry land. "Oh! please leave me a message in the guest book when you're done... I'd give you a tour myself, but I've got things to fix up in the branches."

She walks over to the tree and in the blink of an eye, is gone. From up in the branches you hear her voice. "Don't worry, there are lots of people floating around here, and most of them will help you out with little to no trouble. Just be careful around Portia."

You walk over to the tree and notice some little plaques on the trunk:
