An enormous fountain radiates inside an enclosed dome of sparkling blue
energy, the lifeblood contained within unable to escape from the mortal
boundaries of its mystical 'flesh', but continuing to rush and flow and
pulse under the barrier surging up again and again in a hypnotic rhythm. 
Unlike the hallway itself which was bordered by the clawed pillars this room
is enclosed by four significantly different murals - the heat and passion of
the summer, the declination and decay of autumn, the chill of winter, loss
and loneliness, and finally spring - renewal.  Suspended above the chamber
is an enormous prismatic hourglass, black diamonds as priceless to some as
life itself, tinkling through the separation to smash and return into sand,
slowly filling the lower receptacle.  To the north and south one may leave
this room for either hallway.  
     An enormous fountain stands here, pulsating with blood.
