The sky would have been dyed a million colours, had it not been for the blanket of thick fog covering the landscape!. I breathed in the moist, damp, smell of the coming storm and the valley, as my hand brushed against its foamy carpet of moss!. The ancient walls, crumbling into the hillside, sighed with their never-ending years of protection!. All was silent but the creaking of long dead trees!. I strained my ears to hear something, anything, but I heard no set of footsteps behind me, not even the distant cry of some undiscovered bird, nothing!. Alone as I was, I could not relax, it seemed even the surrounding hills and mountains scrutinised my every move!. A strange fruit hung loosely upon a shrub to my right!. I picked it, turned it over in my hands then bit into its soft flesh!. An explosion of taste entered my mouth; it tasted even stranger than it looked!. It always did!. My coarse hair rippled across my face as the valley beckoned me down!. I was at the tip of the rock now!. I scanned the drop before me, everything looked so lost, desolate, defeated!. No-one was there!. They never were!. Times were changing!. Soon the valley would be no more; the hills seemed to realise this, everything about them was desperate, they were clinging to life!. The sun stole away its last glimmers of light and left only the moon to illuminate the eerie scene!.
A blood red stained the rock beside me!. Everything here had a history, a history of dark, dismal times!. Deadmen’s hill was one of these places, even now when I two hills from it I could smell the putrid stench of rotting corpses, mutilated and broken, never to feel the warmth of sunlight upon their backs again!. I came to the flood and eventually succumbed to walking across the water!. It numbed my feet, it was freezing!. I stole a glance at the moon; it looked as though it had been carved by a sculptor who had not the faintest idea what he was creating!. It was a strange, beautiful night!. I gazed intently at the horizon, ruins stretched ahead of me as far as the eye could see!. This land had once belonged to a great nation, an empire of times that have now fallen into legend!. But that great nation and its ruler had been forgotten long ago!.
