"Yes, very important," Michael smiled, chuckling somewhat from Lizzy's naive innocence, "Those gems will become very important very soon," he groaned slightly as he stood up, "Ahh, but that's a story for another time. For now it would seem you've worked up quite an appetite, my cooking may not be the greatest in the world but you're all welcome to it." he smiled as he opened the door of the nearby cabin, "Don't worry, it's larger on the inside," he insisted.
Inside the cabin looked just as big as it had appeared on the outside, Michael however calmly walked inside, hooking a large carpet with his cane and chucking it aside, reaviling a wooden trap door. "Luke, if you wouldn't mind, my old back just isn't want it used to be." Luke nodded as he walked forward and lifted the trapdoor.
Down the stairs the room opened rapidly into a large spacious cave, lit by a number of bright glowing gems in the ceiling, "It was the previous earth wielder that built this sactuary, or at least hollowed it out, we all pitched in where we could." Michael explained, "The gems above us absorb magic in a way, providing a fine shield that not only prevents us from caving the roof in and at the same time shielding us from any form of scrying." he explained. Near the center of the cave was a large fire pit, a large mountain deer already roasting slowly on it, surrounded by numerous stumps that seemed to have grown in the shape of chairs, "As you'll learn soon enough the elements coexist in harmony, water and earth give life to nature, just as fire and earth can beget destruction or something more helpful," He winked knowingly towards Jack. He took a seat in one of the chairs, "Well, help yourselves everyone, it's been cooking slowly all day so it should be quite tender and delicious." He smiled.
