PS. Table is a scrolly one! :P
THROUGH SHADOW TO THE EDGE OF NIGHT
UNTIL THE STARS ARE ALL ALIGHT
Wading upon the edges of the rippling hedges Maxence gazed coldly at the leaves that made up the well-groomed thicket. Perhaps they would find something (anything) that would render useful in explaining just how something like this could simply appear overnight - Discovering this was the only reason Maxence had flown from the east as he believed not a single word about a Shaman and had no real interest in seeking this entity out should such a person actually exist. That was a textbook way to find a witch of the woods or get cursed... or something along those lines.
With a gruff sight the brute cast his nose across his hsoulder, sussing the landscape to his rear before his nares were flicked back toward the entrance of the maze. Eyes cold and stern only dropped in temperature as his brows furrowed closed with his steps, the stallion's paces taking him cautiously and without haste into the hedges.
All was cold and blue, even the hedges and the fog that escaped his nares with each breath. The moonrise was particularly beautiful and particularly cruel tonight, shedding its frost forth over each leaf and blade - only to snap under the sun lion's heavy hooves. Even as he searched the winding coils of the maze there was naught to be seen save for long moonlit shadows and the cloudy, illuminated sky. ALL SHALL FADE
