Hall of Infinite Doors
"You know where the cave is right?" He nods but continues to play. "Well then you can help me, by showing me the way there." He shakes his head. "Why not?"
"I have to watch the sheep," he replies, nodding at them. Surprisingly none of them have wandered off. They are all in a nearby clump as they have been since you arrived.
"They seem pretty well behaved," you object.
"So long as I play," he looks pointedly at his pipes, "they are, but if I stop too long they'll wander off."
"Well, couldn't we take them with us?" He curls his lip and narrows his eyes, then he sighs loudly and stands up.
"I suppose so, as you're not going to give up. I don't see why you can't find it on your own." He leads the way off toward the mountains. The sheep follow as he plays. You're traveling through a huge meadow. Fresh scents meet your nose at every turn, some sweet, some minty, some tangy. As you approach the mountain the scent of smoke joins with the others.
The boy points into the distance a few minutes later. "See that smoke column?" You nod. "Follow it. It comes from the center of the cave." He turns to leave.
