[GROUP TWO]

[dramatispersonae]

You're in a small dome-shaped chamber, the walls and floor made of white frosted glass. It's cool here.

In the middle of the floor is a small flame, with no apparent source of fuel. Arranged around it are five gleaming copper objects, each labelled:

• a tiny watering can (GROWTH)
  
• a winding watch the size of your thumbnail, which you can set to run backwards or forwards (TIME)
  
• a heart (CARE)
  
• a mesh bag full of copper flakes (STRENGTH)
  
• a lump of what seems to be metallic clay, which you can mold into whatever shape you want (CHOICE)

“Feed the flame,” Firebird says. “Today is for creation. Consider what you may make, and why.”

The dome between you and the sky disappears, and the rocky landscape expands and rises. You're making -- a piece of mountain, at least; a broad cliff. The nest is on a lowish ledge, but if you climbed a little higher up . . . are those caves?

There are large clumps of trees below you now; rather squat but sturdy specimens; the trunks have a metallic sheen, and the leaves are made of flame.
