Chapter One
a m i d n i g h t ' s w a n d e r
Exactly what defines a cloud? Well... one would typically begin with its appearance. Fluffy and white, usually pale, a nondescript blot pasted over a bland blue sky. Sometimes they're accentuated with just the right amount of light from the sun to make them seem glorious and magnificent, like waves from the shores of Heaven itself. Pretty to look at, almost hypnotizing to the stare. Like beautiful paintings born from the will of nature and drawn across the canvas of our world. Unmoving, they may seem at first. But steadily advancing to an unknown destination. Steadily moving forward. Across dangerous lands and tumultuous seas.
Perched upon the surface of a moist boulder, located at the side of a lonely dirt path, Zel sighed. He stared up at the dark masses that drifted by across the night sky. The clouds, darkened by the absence of the bright, blessed sun. And he suddenly found a desire to become one of them... to simply evaporate into wisps of water and flow. He sniffed, shifting his weight to reach a more comfortable position on the rock. He disliked having these sort of thoughts... and he didn't quite know why.
A sound. The sound of leaves rustling. He calmly turned to his right, towards the grassy plains of the east. Nothing. Then to the west, towards the dark forests located there. The same. Whatever it was... was it really that important? Did he really care?
He hopped off the boulder he sat on, and continued down the currently lonely dirt path. Headed nowhere in particular. Just like a cloud, he mused.[/blockquote]
