It was dark. The sun had vanished from the sky long ago, and the forest was quiet. The only sounds that echoed throughout were the chirping of a few insects and the occasional hoot of an owl. The waning moon shone overhead with a bright intensity that scored its rays upon the land below. A few bats' wings streaked the ground below with shadow as they flew beneath the round eye in the night.
All creatures slept and those who came out at this time moved with a discreet quiet. Except for a lone traveler. The large feet of an ostrich clomped down softly upon the earth as a rider held the steed steady while they moved on, their silhouette a soft blurb in the ominous forest. As the woman with the golden eyes and the weary-looking creature moved on through the night, one of them seemed very contemplative.
There were many things to think about. That stupid girl, Lin, was it? She was naive and foolish. She couldn't see their similarity. Everyone was guilty of prejudice and hatred. Yet at the same time, they were all innocent and meek. These days, the line between good and evil is so blurred, it is becoming nonexistant. The woman thought to herself as she carried on quietly.
