You see wee kiddlets
running on the path ahead. The stag
has left you alone again,
so you choose to stop and say hello. Taylor says, "My name
is
Taylor, and this is my
sister Jessica." Jessie places Lucas, the youngest, down on
the path to
shake your hand. Collin,
Lucas's brother and cousin to the other two, forces your hands
apart.
"WE are not supposed
to talk to strangers!", and with that, runs off with the
others in tow.

"There is
no hunt for me," said he, "Of any creature born,
Unless I could,
in shadow wood, hunt down the unicorn."
"None know
so well where she may dwell as I who did her will,
If you will
heed, then I will lead, and you may have you kill."
But one lone
guard forwarned the King: "This hunt is evil-starred;
For those with
arms and potent charms against whom we must guard
No more will
wait with eyes of hate and souls of hearts of gall,
But purge the
wood of light and good, and Gods forgive us all."
