“What was it like? What were they like? The mountains! Are they pretty?” The guard would smile as he shook his head. “Sorry little Queen, can’t say. They’ll cut out my tongue if I do…blarrrghhh!” Then he chased her down the corridor with his tongue hanging out like a dog.

“I guess we’ll find out, eh, Mabon? We better get going.”

Firinne was sucking on jerky. The woods were blue now and the light of the sun dying behind the horizon was ultraviolet. Everything that was white in the forest glowed like the moon. The aspens that were all throughout the forest looked like skinny ghosts — the black scabs on their trunks like the last bits of flesh rotting away, giving way to the ethereal world. This hallucinogenic alternate world. It was like this forest had two lives within one — like twins — one that shown brightly in the light of the sun, one that became a shadow of its twin as night approached. All of their arms — boney and rigid, reached out towards each other forming a line of sharp netting. Interweaving locks of bones enhanced by a wild dance of entrancing color. It was a ceremony, and she could see them watching her from far off in the distance. They haunted the endless pits of her soul.

She could hear wolves calling out in the distance. Perhaps they had caught the smell of their prey, or perhaps it was a call to danger? The forest grew darker and darker as the minutes passed. It seemed that it was always that way. The days would linger on forever, and you could barely tell when the Sun moved, but at dusk the Sun would drop like a ball being thrown into a lake. Within minutes, everything was dark, so dark that is was hard to believe that there had ever been any light to begin with.

And yet, we always knew that the Sun would come back the next day.

She hoped that they would clear the forest before midnight. She could smell a storm coming; one of those heavy spring storms, and although she longed for those raindrops to beat against her skin, she knew that they needed to find shelter before it came. Maybe that was the call from the wolves? —

A storm’s coming; No, Firinne thought. The storm is already here. What’s coming now is just the violent sadness of what’s already been done.

This’ll just be wet.
