Chapter 1

Once there was a boy. 

He had to go for a while. He went with a large group of people traveling north. The trip took many days and many nights. They stopped twice. Once to refresh at a local spring. The second was at the large market in town. They continued on and finally arrived at their destination. The boy found his lodging, then went with the rest of the group. They arrived at a large, white tent. Without knowing why, they waited. And waited. Finally the doors were opened and all flooded in. A man with a red beard led the large group in a series of hymns. These hymns were meaningful to the group and this boy joined. These hymns always have a way of bringing him closer. After the man with the red beard, a man with long, waving, brown hair came and spoke words. These words were not spoken from him. They were spoken from what the boy got closer to. It was a wonder and brought this boy even closer. After a late night, this boy felt a sense of relief. He went back to his lodging and wrote about it.
