BEYOND US

I can envision the castle now, standing with a wall so large it mutes the sound of nature, blocking our view of the woods, and blocking us entirely from the outside world. It didn't use to be like this. When I was a kid I used to go into the woods at sunset with my friends and play Hide n' Seek until we couldn't see our own hands in front of us and just the echo of each other's voices and our stumbling footsteps, that's when we would each go home and sneak into our beds for a good night's sleep; I miss that. Not being a kid, I miss when the outside world wasn't afraid of us. By us, I mean Magik users.
