Hall of Infinite Doors

You find yourself naked, lying on a backless couch. As you sit up, you notice a fruit bowl to your left. The entire room is decorated in the style of ancient Greece. As you search the room for your clothes, you hear a voice behind you.

"Oh! You have awoken! Mistress Salmacis will be most interested!"

Before you can blush, the speaker has darted down the hallway. Soon, a woman you can only assume is Mistress Salmacis enters the room. She is also naked; her long hair provides modesty, but it is clear this is merely by chance, not intention. She is beautiful; her blonde hair shimmers in the light, and her irony skin glistens with a faint moisture. The only odd thing about her is her ears; they are, in fact, blue fish fins.

"Welcome to my kingdom, o weary traveller. I am Salmacis, ruler of this palace."

"Wh...wh...where am I?" you stutter, blushing.

"Just know that you are in a naiad's kingdom," she says, sitting beside you. "I saved you from the waters myself, you know."

"But I was dead!" you say, shooting away from her arm, which she was starting to wrap around your shoulder.

"Well then, maybe you are dead," she says, standing up. "I can see when I am not wanted." She turns around in a huff, and heads toward the door.
