Tales Of The Latter Kingdom 08 - Moon Dance - Plot & Excerpts
True, there was the occasional fallen branch or patch of weeds, but once I began walking, I found I followed a faint path that wound its way through the trees, taking me deeper and deeper into the forest. From time to time, I would hear a rustling off somewhere in the undergrowth and pause, certain that I was about to set upon by some fierce woodland animal. But nothing ever appeared, and I would make myself go on.On several occasions an owl flew overhead, one time with the great night bird dipping so close to me that I could feel the rush of cool air as it went past, the great beating of its wings blowing stray strands of hair into my face. Each time I would stop, my heart hammering away in my chest, but of course the owls were not hunting me, but were intent on catching poor small creatures such as voles or mice or perhaps even rats.And from time to time, the canopy of trees overhead would part just enough to allow more moonlight to flood down onto the path, and I would see those small footprints, leading me ever on into the heart of the forest.Where in the world were they going?
