The "Treasures of the Golden Phoenix" has now been completed and will be available in due time. As I finished mixing the track, the jewel encrusted dagger that Captain Ansgarm gave as a farewell gift sat on the piano. The complete adventure will be told in the coming weeks. As promised, the tale of "Circle of Dreams" should be available tomorrow..........Davutus

Our expedition was a great success! After returning late last evening, I immediately went into the studio to put my thoughts down as music. It turned into a full night of music making, and as I watched the dawn break over the lake, I was reminded of how that incredible ship sparkled in the morning sun. More will be written later, but for now, I must sleep.....Davutus

As the significance of this great and unexpected discovery began to sink in, Basio stood and started to make preparations in his mind as he nervously paced the floor. Zyndal's eyes flashed with exuberance, as I went to the piano to retrieve my notebook. Suddenly, the decision was made...........we leave tomorrow..............Davutus

"Surely you have heard of the fabled galleon that plied the waters of the ancient seas from the Mediterranean to the great kingdom of Atlantis and beyond. It was said that the ship, painted a dazzling gold, could be seen from miles away, shimmering in the sunlight...a vessel that carried the untold treasures of the ancient world!". Just at that moment, Xanthe entered with a tray of her famous chameren cookies to go with the tea. Zyndal could hardly contain himself as the cookies and tea were passed around and we continued to question him.

Last evening, Zyndal arrived here in a highly excited state. Ushered into the great room by Alban, he was offered a cup of tea by Caleshpa, but he was unable to even sit down. "I've found it!" he exclaimed. We were all puzzled by his statement and the obvious question was asked. "The Golden Phoenix", he replied. Seeing our blank expressions, he looked at us as though we had just arrived from outer space.
