Sensing that trouble might be brewing, The Scribe gets into a preparatory stance. Myki takes an extract and does so as well.

The group makes their way up the tightly turning stairwell. By the time Myki gets to the top with Akif right behind her .... and everyone on the stairwell behind but not seeing what is above. Myki (and Akif) are the first to see the following, though as they come up the others will see as well .... The staircase emerges onto a cobblestone path leading through a well-landscaped garden. Five feet from the top of the stairs, the path passes though a freestanding stone arch carved into the form of two angels facing away from each other and blowing trumpets, backs arched and great wing tips touching at the apex.

But before anyone moves forward, Myki makes sure Akif can see, and asks that he clearly and completely conveys what is seen to those behind.
