After sharing a meal with Fable (interaction shortened by server outage... ) I decided to explore a little more and wandered outside to get some fresh air and catch the sunrise, which is always a special time for me. Have to admit Zarco has done a great job here. The grounds are well kept, thoughtful, but still fit in with the wildness around the place.
I pass a treehouse and think "that would be a cool apartment!", but as i get closer I feel ... something ... not evil, per see, more just a feeling that the resident prefers the area be left alone, so I continue past, looking back at the door noting a large padlock securing it closed. "Interesting..".
I continue my wandering, and end up at the edge of the grounds, where the manicured lawn becomes a rough, then brush and nature take over and the forest, the wild, dark forest begins. I briefly consider going on through these woods, back to my beloved mountains and my pack, but something, that same something that brought me here, prevents me. I sit and watch the sunrise, then lie down in the rough and ponder, opening myself to the spirits that guide me seeking an answer, but all I get is the sense that Here is where I need to be, that I am needed, and that there is something that I also need.... No, not something, there is SOMEONE that I need to meet.
After watching the sunrise I suddenly realize it is past noon... I know I didn't fall asleep, but feel refreshed and recharged, the tiredness of the journey here completely gone, and a renewed strength coursing through my spirit.
With these thought lingering in my mind, I rise and wander back to the lobby, maybe Mr. Night will be about and I can talk with him... I wonder if he knows how many spirits, both friend and not, are lingering here...
