lyrics

The Wanderer awoke to the gentle creaking of the boats being moored in icy water. He gathered his bedding closer and stood up, drinking in the strange new scenery around him. The horizon was full of colourful aurora, dancing across the starlit skyline and painting scenes of beautiful mystery. In the distance small mountains embraced ancient glaciers. The snow and ice glistened so brightly he thought he could hear it. Stepping off onto the small pier was like arriving in another world; a new north.

He was fascinated by the contrast of the beauty above the cold barren land below, it was like nothing he had experienced. The atmosphere seemed to both confront and comfort him simultaneously, every breath of glacial air was an invigorating awakening for his lungs. The events of the last months appeared frozen in time behind him, and as he took each snow crunching step across the landscape he felt more unburdened.

The Aldra were welcoming but aloof, allowing their new guests plenty of time to themselves. Days and nights seemed very different here, but the hosts would leave for many of them at a time, returning seemingly as rested as when they departed. The Wanderer couldn’t even be sure what directions they left towards, his internal compass confounded by the cold white glow every way he turned. This didn’t unsettle him, rather help let the recent troublesome realities fade into obscurity.

Here, in these unknown realms, The Wanderer would stay with the Aldra. At least for now, whilst he reassessed the state of the world, and his place in it...
