mutiny below

Quote:

Tempted by fate, driven by wanton desires and ultimate uncertainty, the masked beast moved with little purpose but to move, craved nothing but the simple essense of freedom, of desire and youth that spurred him onwards. A vagabond without purpose, lacking understanding of his life but craving the knowledge of the world, of the very earth that gave him sustenance, he had a parching thirst for knowledge, and for determining his ultimate roll and niche in this life. He was a wayward traveller, moving simply because he could, searching for the one thing that would ring understanding to his foggy memory, and with a low puff of air from flared nostrils, he paused, idly curious, masked by the very contours of the forest whose foliage wrapped around him like a cloak, keeping him all but hidden in the underbrush, though it was not a furtive desire that kept him covert, but simple observations of his surroundings and musedul consideration of a place that was all but unknown to him.
