La Fuente de la Edad

La Fuente de la Edad (The Fountain of the Ages) is a legendary fountain said to be of tremendous power. Descriptions of it vary greatly; it is variously said to feature nude statutes of a merman, mermaid, human boy, human girl, sword-raising minotaur, human woman on a male unicorn, and various others, on a circular platform about 5 feet (1.5 meters) in diameter located in the middle of the fountain. It is typically said to be about 10 feet (3 meters) in radius. The crystal clear water is said to be about 5 feet (1.5 meters) deep.
Legions say it will suddenly appear somewhere, then suddenly disappear. It is said that, for an offering thrown into the clear water of the fountain, it will answer any question truthfully. It is also said that, if something valuable enough is offered (often thought to be the wealth of a filthy rich person), it will grant whatever wish the wisher desires. All offerings are said to disappear immediately; the water of the fountain is always clear.
Some scholars warn, however, that the practical value of the answers is often in proportion to the value of the offering; all answers may be "true," but not necessarily for the current time and place. It is also said that, if the fountain grants a wish, it will be exactly what the wisher asked for--but not necessarily what the wisher actually wanted.
