That night I slept dreamlessly, feeling strangely half-awake and half-asleep aware of reality, and yet not. And somehow I seemed to feel that the deep, dark forest: the forest that I and everyone else were forbidden to enter, the forest that pulled inescapably at my heartstrings, playing on my soul…
I felt that it was calling to me.
The wind seemed to rush out from underneath the great, proud trees, blowing and whisking across the grassy fields that separated the world of the forest from my own world, trying to reach me in my bed. They seemed to be whispering, whispering in a thousand different voices, but above all of the rest of them, I heard the forest calling my name. It seemed to sing to me Circelae. Circelae.
But that was not a voice I knew…and yet it was…it was…
“Circelae…”
