Far to
the North lies the Frozen Wastes. Beyond
that is an expanse of unending winter riddled
with pockets of abandoned places and times.
Here,
a child of the forest wanders alone. He
is lost, but not by any definition you or
I would understand. A friend to the two
and four-legged kind, yet an adversary as
well, near frozen ruins this tracker, hunter,
a guide at times now makes his camp.
By far,
the comfort he takes from the fires warmth
is not his first choice. He remembers another.
One that is more tangible. One that is more
supple.
His soul
hungers for something that burns with the
fire of creation.
Something
that is much more satisfying to his desires.
