for Katie, Arachnea's RevengeThe forest was heavily populated by trees, their thick green leaves blocking out the sun, shrouding the forest in darkness. Pale moss dripping down like faceless beards, the thick branches reaching out with wooden fingers, beckoning Grimsley to come closer. Spiders were everywhere, they're tiny feet moving soundlessly over the leaves and grasses, hardly visible, only seen by those who are looking. Grimsley is looking, his bright eyes taking in everything he passes, soaking in the beauty of the landscape, beauty only recognized by the right eyes.
It is only when he has walked so far that his horse companion becomes reluctant that he discovers the true beauty of the woods. At first, he is certain that his eyes have deceived him, the perfect body of water almost too blue to be real. His horse, sensing something to cure its parched throat hurries toward the water and in no time the glass-like lake is shattered, the horse's thirsty gulps causing ripples through what is otherwise unmoving. Grimsley, having shed his leather bag beside his drinking companion, began to wade into the water, keeping very aware of his surroundings, though for now it appears he is the only one to have located paradise.
