Traversing the vast land of the Valley, you are inclined to take a path you had before seen but wished not to travel, for it's depth were dark and unviting. Stepping into the blanket of darkness a chill runs through your body, dispite the warm weather. You keep at a quick pace...almost afraid to slow, for a lurking feeling that something around you would reach out and grab you if you slowed even just a little. Then, when you least expect it, a slim ray of light breaks through the blackness and shines warm against your face. Encouraged by this surprising happening you continue. The haunting forest surrounding you thin quickly away and you find yourself standing at the edge of the most glorious place you had ever before seen in your life. It was a tiny valley, surrounded on two side by a glistening lake and by a towering mountain on another. The grass was rich green and plentiful. Wild flowers dotted the area, adding a touch of cheerful color. A few tree's provided shade from the summer sun and a small cave at the base of the mountain would provide shelter from the harsh winters and merciless storms.
