Long roads ahead, I desire...          

 I was born in Aldburg, in 2990. I was a boy when my father died.

That morning, which initiated my destiny, came about because of ptarmigan eggs.

Among my father's many talents, foremost was his skill with birds. He was a master of the snare. He constructed his traps of the very branches his prey favored to roost upon. With a pop! so delicate you could hardly hear it, his clever snares would fire, imprisoning their mark by the "boot" as he called it, and always gently.

Something very unexpected happened yesterday...
I have been pondering about writing or dedicate a song to my dear Kin The Shadows, just to describe my feelings towards this Kinship I have been part of 3,5 years. But the act that happened yesterday describes everything about this Kinship.

I had always wondered what it felt like to die.
