    Into this wild abyss the wary fiend
    Stood on the brink of Hell and look'd a while,
    Pondering his voyage; for no narrow firth
    He had to cross.
    ~~ John Milton, Paradise Lost

    Summary

    Shadows were growing deeper in the forests where you walked. Summer shortened and Spring was weaker, but you found beauty in the colours of Autumn and the snows of Winter. Thusly you lingered in the woodland you called home, though your kin departed for brighter lands. Your heart was at peace, and the amber gem that hung ever about your neck glowed golden.
    But peace cannot last.
