The First Psalm

The bird circles to the south a bit.

It is harder and harder to see very far, as the last rays of sunlight fade away slowly, and half a moon shines in the sky among the stars. It is a clear, chilly evening. And to the south, beyond a field of bones... only trees.

Before you find civilization, there will be lots and lots of trees.

The group moves, lead by Althea's bird. Southward! Into the woods.

Katalin, however, places the charcoal crown on her head. The touch of the charcoal to her skin, near her brain... a flash of her past. A moment of her life. A memory suddenly returns to her. Something with fire. Either a blazing inferno, or a gentle candle's flame. But something from her past returns to her.

If it was already dark in the night, the moment you all leave the graveyard, it gets darker still. Overgrown trees. Hoots of owls and other creatures in the dark. A chilly wind.

There are paths in the forest. None very well travelled. Often overgrown. Ancient paths, no longer used it seems. Twisty turny paths, which branches to the left and right. Basically enough ways to go. But as you travel south, you will eventually find a little clearing and in it.... a well?
