Anden

The Sun and the Moon
In an endless game of hide and seek

Each passing day Anden found another replacement for his past life. A substitute, maybe not quite as good as the original, but they calmed him. Sometimes they were small things, a new axe, or a child's lullaby. Sometimes though they were much larger, like the Woodland on the outskirts of the Grounds.

Growing up, Anden's favorite part of living on the edge of the Evergreen Forest was watching the trees change. The way they danced with colour before the snow fell. The new season brought a chance for the echo of his old life, to breath air into his new one.

Anden took Oliver's warning to heart. Stick to the Grounds, and make sure he could find his way to and from the portal with ease. He'd never ventured much past that. Anden knew little of Caido, and he understood the dangers the world might bring. But this was an exception. He'd been here almost a full season, and he was ready. Ready to explore more, but more importantly he was ready to see the trees dance again.

It took him longer than he had hoped to get to the woodland - but it was worth it. The vivid colours of the trees stretched in every direction. The wind rustled the branches, as the trees put on a performance for Anden's eyes alone. "Home." Anden whispered. He knew he was lying to himself, but for that moment he thought it was ok. Anden plucked a red leaf off of a low-hanging branch. He twirled the leaf between his fingers, enhaling the scent of the forest.

Outside of the Grounds, this world could be beautiful.
