Apollo stood siliently, carefully digesting each word. When she finished, he took her hand, and together they entered the center chamber. The Egg of Creation shone on it's pedastal'

"Before the beginning was Eros" He said, picking up the, the large oval. "Nothing but blind hunger, primordial urge, formless power, undirected desire, aimless energy, voracious craving, unorganized activity. But as my servant Vergilius the Magum, said.

"In the beginning of Things, black-winged Night
Into the bosom of Erebos dark and deep
Laid a wind-born Egg, and, as the seasons rolled,
Forth sprang Love, gleaming with wings of gold,
Like to the whirlings of wind, Love the Delight."

He gingerly placed the Egg back upon the mount, turned to gaze at Kassandra, and smiled.

"I have loved you since that beginning, long before you took human form." He laughed with genuine pleasure. "Come, let us dine."

Almost immediately they were at a banquet table for two, where wine and large assortments of good food were being carried to them by beautiful virgin maidens. When the food was served, Apollo order the virgins to dance for the entertainment of the two.
 
Kassandra could hardly believe what she was seeing. She half thought he would strike her down and banish her to Hades for all eternity, but obviously she had thought wrong. As he spoke she sought to understand all he said as he brought her into a baquet hall the food was amazing she could hardly eat it for all its beauty. She watched the girls dance in awe sipping her wine slowly feeling it warm her body and spirit. She ate slowly afraid that this dream would end all too soon.
