Hollow. Empty. Silent.

 

Your eyes flutter to from the darkness that consumed them, to large branches of a gnarled tree that protrudes from the center of your vision. The blackened wood remains cracked, twisting and knotted in its macabre beauty. Stones surround its form, scattered absently from the aftermath of destruction as the features of wood seem to protrude outwards. Endless faces carved into the wood, their mouths moving where no sound would leave from its form. Torn upon its upper roots lay the corpse of a beast of gold, its mane mattered and covered in crimson and black. Its form lays limp, its crimson dripping into the ground with sickening splashes that break through the silence.

 

The endless expanse of wood was blanketed by the fog that clings to the area, the roots burrowing and anchoring as if the skies were trying to ensnare them into the clouds. The symphony of nature is replaced by an eerie silence that haunts its presence, the lack of nature encapsulates the grotto. The winds of humid heat cascade into nothingness as skin is brushed by the waking calm, a lingering threat of the unknown, of the unfound. Stagnant winds brush aside the dust of continuity, of change. All that awaits is the present, the now, the never. 

 

 

The Heart of the World now lies asleep, when shall it wake?
