Chapter 3

...The great cycle of life holds us each in its grip gently guiding us into
this world at birth and holding us in it eternal embrace as we pass from
this life. This is true for all that lives and breathes from the trees, to the
birds, to you and I...

ancient druid droned on his teachings of the cycle changed little
from when Valarael first heard them many moons ago. While he learned
his lessons with diligence and respect, he began to wonder if all the
elders did was sit and quietly watch time pass before them, accepting
everything as part of the great cycle but doing nothing. Was there ever a
time for action? Young and rash they would say if I asked, as if I cannot
hear and see the pain and distress of the great forests, of the beast, and of
the land with my own eyes and ears! Soon my initiation will be
complete then I will take my leave for I know I can do more to heal and
easy the pain of the forest through action then by simply living in peace
and harmony with nature.

And so, Valarael finished his initiation and was accepted for further
teachings within the circle of druids. Thus the young, strong minded
youth took his leave to seek out a way to heal the land.
