The Queen's Blade Prequel I - Conash: Dead Son
“The Deep Forest's fecund humus yielded a wealth of plump pale mushrooms, and, since he had a knack for finding them, it was always his job to do so. Massive ironwood trees towered over him, and winding animal paths laced the carpet of leaves between their rough reddish trunks. The Deep Forest's silence enfolded him. Only an occasional creak of wood or faint trill of distant birdsong broke it. Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy of thin leaves to fleck the ground with spots of gold, and d...rifting spores swirled in the warm shafts. Clumps of bright green ferns broke the golden-brown monotony, and gloom swallowed up the distance in a brooding hush.

He was sure he had followed this path, but the animal trails all looked similar, and now he did not know whether he was even heading in the right direction.MoreLess
