A girl walked up the steps to Larafi temple. She had a heavy cloak wrapped around her, with a hood covering her head to keep warm. She had a lute on her back hanging from a shoulder strap.
"So this is Larafi Temple?" The girl said to herself as she reached the top of the stairs. "Amazing that people would build it all the way out here." She walked through the gate and looked around for someone to talk to. She saw a man dressed as a priest and walked over to him. "Hello there. My name is Marendy Lyjak, a wandering bard. I'm wondering, are you the priest here?"

"Why yes I am." the priest said, approaching Marendy. He had on a green and white robe and a small green hat. his dark green boots come up to his knee, disappearing under his robe. "The head priest in fact, and founder of this relatively new establishment. My name is Selic, what brings a beautiful young girl all the way out here in the mountains?"

"I'm travelling to spread my music to everyone in the world," Marendy replied. "I'm wondering, would I be able to perform a concert here?"

"A concert would be interesting." Selic said, smiling. "But unfortunately, not many people travel here. You are welcome to stay here and recover from the cold and perform for the priests here if you want. In fact, I insist."

"Thank you," Marendy replied. "Even if it's a small audience, even if it's just one person I'd still like to play."

"Then come on in, I'll show you around." Selic said, walking down the walkway to the courtyard.

Selic pointed forward. "There's of course the main plaza, where all of our worshiping and ceremonies take place." he said, then pointed to his left. "And to each side of you are buildings for private use, including rooms for guests not part of our church."
Elsewhere in the Norisam Mountains...
Staggering along while she kept her arms wrapped tightly around herself, Brella wandered down a hill, looking around. "I'm lost..." she thought. "There's no way I can find civilization out here."
She turned the corner of the mountainside, gazing out at the vast mountain range. Upon seeing it, she gave up all hope of finding anything but icy mountains. "Without my board and my bag, I'll never make it." she thought, collapsing to her knees, landing on a jagged rock, not reacting to it because of her numbing legs.
She fell to her side in a snowy ditch as her consciousness started to fade. The next thing she knew, she was enveloped by a warm light. As she opened her eyes, squinting from the brightness, she saw an outline of a slender, yet knightly figure standing before her. The figure was covered in white and gold armor from head to toe, looking down at Brella. "You'll be allright now, little one." the knight said with a soothing, almost angelic voice.
Brella tried to speak, but was still numb from the freezimng temperatures. "Who are you?" she thought as she tried to get the same words out of her mouth.
The knight reached down, scooping Brella up as the light faded. Brella then passed out once more.

"I wonder, would it be ok if I were to perform after dinner?" Marendy asked.

"Oh of course, you must be starving." Selic said, walking beside Marendy to the building on the right. He opened the door and held it open for Marendy. Inside was a bar to the left with four picnic tables sitting around the room. "It's about an hour after lunch, so no one's here. Have a seat and take that heavy coat off while I fetch you something."
