You look all around, and decide that you find it peculiar there is no trace of an exit, even the implication of one like the previous room, or anything else in the shrine you've entered except the statue. Your eyes narrow, and you withdraw the <span class="mu-s">Lens of Truth</span>, deciding that it may be precisely what's needed to proceed.
This room is illuminated well enough to see clearly, as are the ones you have passed through, so <span class="mu-s">Night Eye</span> is not needed, and likewise there are no chests or doors you haven't already passed through. As such, you use your magic to awaken the <span class="mu-s">Lens</span>, and will it to penetrate illusions with <span class="mu-s">Reveal Truth</span>.
Scanning the edges of the room and the columns, you see nothing unusual, but when you turn back to the statue, your efforts are rewarded - in the hand that was holding the <span class="mu-s">Lens</span>, there is a large, gold <span class="mu-s">key</span>, with horns on the top, a red gem set in it, and hooked teeth. It's invisible without the <span class="mu-s">Lens</span>, until you touch it, sliding it out of <span class="mu-s">Hylia's</span> stone fingers. The <span class="mu-s">key</span> has a real heft to it, and you are sure that it is meant for an expecially large and important lock.
Finding nothing else of not in the room, you decide to exit back into the previous one, with the statues and mirrors. You spend some time analyzing this chamber as well, wondering if there was something you missed on your first pass through. It so happens there was: above the door you entered lies an eighth alcove, which has an illusory wall concealing it, and there is a wooden chest placed there where a statue would be.
You're looking up at it when you hear footsteps from the chamber containing the shadow puzzle, it sounds like two people and they are moving pretty quick in your direction.
<span class="mu-s">What will you do?</span>
>Stand your ground, sword raised in a defensive position, you will attempt to dispatch them if they are enemies.
>Retreat to the room with the <span class="mu-s">Hylia</span> statue, it may be a dead end but perhaps the people approaching won't realize that the shadow on the floor is actually an entrance to another room.
>Use the grappling hook to climb up into the alcove above the door, you can disappear behind the illusory wall and be hidden like the chest, unless those approaching have their own means of penetrating the dungeon's magic facades.
