Sedrick Of Anwyn

Anwyn was the kind of place that would leave anyone who wasn't a native with the firm belief that they'd fallen into a strange and provocative dream. The colors alone would be enough to induce a sense of gratifying bewilderment.

Sedrick took no notice of such peculiarities however. It was part of his known world and something he gave little consideration to - unmindful of, what for us, would be the glaringly obvious nonconformity to the kind of natural phenomenon we're familiar with and all too often take for granted.

In Anwyn, one could easily be lost in the rapturous views and sights never before seen. Yet, that could be a disastrous mistake. To remain so blissfully gathered up in the greenish glow of the sky or the lavender paleness of the leaves, hanging like droplets from the crimson branches, one might fail to notice the lurking essence of deviltry known to most inhabitants as Brume.

This was not so with Sedrick. He had learned early on, as do all wise Anwynians, that to remain unaware for too long of one's surroundings, can have calamitous consequences.

To be continued.

"Far Away"
By Dishwalla


Lyrics:

Just the other day, I was looking for myself again
Trying to put back all the pieces, back to the way they were
Sometimes it’s not so easy, when you have so many voices tell you what to do
I think I’ve got it now, but I can’t be too sure

Far away as I shoot across the sky
Far away to the corners of my mind
Sooner or later it will slowly come back to me

If I could build a spaceship
Would you fly away with me, or would you stay?
A million miles an hour
Flying circles as we orbit round the earth
If I stuck my head out the window, do you think it’d clear my head or would it burst?
I guess it’s all the same, but at least it wouldn’t hurt

Far away as I shoot across the sky
Far away to the corners of my mind

And the voices in my head
I think they’ve finally gone away
Far away (far away)
Far away (far away)
Sooner or later they will slowly come back to me
