Selenil had ranged far from Kell's Reach that day, trying to put civilization behind him for as long as he could.  It felt good to breathe the springtime air, even when the sky clouded near nightfall and rained in short, scattered bursts.  The scarred elf wandered through pasture and copse, avoiding farmers as he crossed their fields.  He paused once to watch a fox family, the year's new kits tumbling from their den beneath the roots of a fallen tree.  He rested on a long flat stone near a stream, cushioned by thick green moss.  The sound of birdsong drifted him off to a short sleep.It was near that hour in the deep night, where one day turned to the next, that his wandering steps found him returning to Kell's Reach from the north.  As he passed the old barrow where the manticore had laired, he was surprised to hear a sweet music coming from underground.  It drifted upon the soft night breeze.  As Selenil passed a broad oak atop a rise, he could see the barrow.  A warm yellow light flickered from within, and he heard the sound of a merry company.</blockquote>
