The trees induced both a storm of despair and sublime awe in Sevt, brewing quietly in his chest like an encroaching thief in the night. Their surfaces shimmered in frozen sheens as he limped past with a light in one hand and a crutch under his other arm. Overhead, through a coniferous canopy cloaked in snow, their people’s guiding lights slowly danced across the skies. Even without his lantern staff, Sevt could see far enough with their glow, the woods suspended in an eternal twilight.
