"Beware the Forest Dweller they say, beware the Forest Dweller. With horns of gold and eyes so cold, one look and he'll steal you away."
I never believed such fanciful things. Living on the edge of trees, the forest was no stranger. Yet now, as it grows dark, and my failing eyes struggle to see the path, I hear whispering.
Turning, I find the last hint of light shows me his white, piercing eyes.
"I have you now!" He says to me, "I have you now to keep."
So with the forest dweller I go, I go to endless sleep.

Go step outside at night and face where the sun set. Now turn a fraction to the north and you see that big star there? That's where I'm from. I'll tell you some stories of that place sometime. But not right now. I'm busy making stuff up.
