You see that one of the statues is swaying slightly, and singing very softly.
The statue sings "I am Helena. Welcome to my grove."
"I sing to my sister."

You see one of the statues is quivering slightly. She looks very sad.
She turns to look at you. "I am Ellen."
"I watch the garden."

The statue bursts into song. "Oh my garden, my delight/growing in my eternal sight./Grow sweet lichen, on my base./Moss upon my chest and face." She sighs. "My sister doesn't appreciate it."

She hums merrily. "She loves stonework. Comes from being a statue, I suppose. Don't ask her about it - she'll never stop talking."

"Oh! I thought you'd never ask." If she wasn't made of marble, you're sure she'd be blushing. "Look at the stone of this tower! Khoth did such a wonderful job! He especially did a beautiful job on the fountain!"

"It's a magic fountain! Beautiful stonework! Oh, I wish I could ask my sister what it does - she watched it being made. Oh, I miss her so." She whimpers slightly.

"Isn't it beautiful? It's wonderfully powerful too." She sings. "Look upon the fountain there./Dangerous as it is fair./But it could be very nice,/if you could drink its waters thrice." She hums a bit, and smiles at you.
"I like the tower, but sometimes I wish I could escape it."

"No, I've never been. I wish I could see my wonderful sister, and tell her so. But I heard Khoth talking about it when he made me. This tower is here to protect a pentagram!"

"Hmm. He didn't say much. But I can tell you one thing. It's a place that was enchanted so that people there can teleport out of the underworld." She thinks. "I don't know why Khoth wanted me to tell people that. I don't think he likes humans very much."
"Say - maybe that was why he told me to tell people! I miss my sister." She pouts.
