Through The Forest of Light

[Tyr Ragnarson]

Tyr rode his small horse into the bows of the forest of light. just recently, he had left mystique to receive his military training in Aelyria Prime. the canopy above was marked with a myriad of small holes where light shined through to project rays of light that sparkled with the morning dew. the trees were close, but not unbearably so. several squirrels were climbing a nearby tree, and Tyr chuckled as he watched them fight over a chestnut.
Tyr decided that it would take around three days to make it through the forest. as he sat looking at the map while his horse chewed on some grass nearby, he noticed a small blank area on the map, but thought nothing of it. he continued onward throughout the day, heading in a southerly direction, but having to skirt a few thick patches of forest along the way.
When Tyr finally decided to make camp, the suns were setting below the hills to the east, and the birds had ceased their singing. he chose a small patch of dried leaves beneath the shadow of a large boulder as his bed. there was a small stream nearby from which Tyr's horse, Rocinante, was sipping greedily.

Tyr emerged from the forest on the fourth morning after he had left the city. it had taken a day longer than he had hoped, but he was out. the great plains stretched away to the south, their long grass gently swaying in the wind. he started of across the plain, riding Rocinante and eating a small piece of slightly stale bread. Tyr hoped there was a settlement nearby, he was running low on food and feed for his horse. he headed south toward Aelyria prime.
