I felt a slight tugging but for the most part we moved swiftly, the world seeming to flash around us. He was much better at this then I was. When we stopped, we were standing in a vast room. The floor appeared to be marble, and the ceilings were two stories high. It gave the impression that we were in some great cathedral. Torches gave a warm and bright feel to an otherwise cold room. The furnishings consisted of a huge four-poster bed cloaked on four sides by a rich red brocade and velvet cloth. Gold cords held the material back to expose a bed piled high with pillows. Next to the bed was a table that held a challis, an old book, and a jeweled box. Overly ornate chairs dotted the large room in pairs of two separated by small round or square tables or chaise lounges. Rugs of all sizes
