I was given a warning about the woman who is the priestess of the Snake Goddess. I have learned about serpent power from my teacher Kyria. I have yet to meet this priestess, but wish to learn more of the cult that exists here on Crete.
Business has brought me to Crete. It is a beautiful luxuious island of the Agean Sea. The Greek god Zues was born here. I can see the
moutain of his birth from my private quarters at the palace. I have been commisioned oversee the decorations of the Palace of Phaistos. The women of Crete are very stylish, and fond of ornamentation. They love the "Lady Reylari Products". I have a caravan shipment on the way from the desert lands. My ship the Delphinus should arrive any day.
My work has kept me very busy. I have been given assistance in every way possible, yet I have no real friends at this court. Danger lurks around every corner. I can feel it. My dreams are troubled, and full of memories from the past. There is much tragedy that I would prefer to forget. Yet, the events of my husband's suicide haunt my dreams.
Work is my only solace at this time. The nights are long. For me the morning never comes to soon.

I awake this morning to find that I have returned to the island of Crete via Babylon. I feel that I am dreaming as I wander though halls that once I walked each day, long ago, far away, in the past mist of time.
I shall commence with the painting of murals for the Palace of Phaistos. The Mionoans have a love
of the decorative arts, and I have the talent to emulate their style.
The women here are elagant with beautifly coiffed hair. They love exotic fragrances are very feminine, yet seem to dominate the life of the family.
