Sojourn of the Questing Soul
Elyvilon
You who so plod amid serious things that you feel it shame to give yourself up even for a few short moments to mirth and joyousness in the land of Fancy; you who think that life hath nought to do with innocent laughter that can harm no one; these pages are not for you. These are the memories and melodies gathered from a lifelong sojourn on the path of the questing soul.

A clarion horn calls. Rich in timbre it be, and mirthful in deed. The cry of a noble soul yearning for the righting of wrongs, the seizing of glories, the finding of peace. The great ringing of unfathomable trumpets, wreathed in the deepest fog, the most sacrosanct of truths hidden within us all. It resonates in every beast of the field and in every bird of the heavens, and truly, in the hearts of all.

Go now! Strike out and find its tune! For art thou not strong of sinew and stout of heart? Find it in the gleaming sword held aloft o'er the waves, in the tranquility of a bucolic expanse, in the levity of a companion's embrace, in the shimmering golden eternities locked within the light that streams through the boughs of the trees. Go now and become! Go now and ascend! Go now and find yourself, wherever you may be. For there in the most unlikely of places, if you let yourself listen, you may just hear its song.
