"Beware the great darkness approaches yet again. when the tales of our forerunners are all but forgotten and gather dust in the scrolls of old. When the children of time are born with strange gifts and curses, then will you know that my words are coming to pass."

These words from the great seer of another time have always stuck with her from the moment she read them first, for each time the sun went down, she could understand and speak the tongues of all the beasts of the land and the sky, and the crawlers of the ground and the trees. From them she had learned much, some happy, but most sad as man continued to spread his domain over all the land.

Yet silently she always wondered to herself whether her very existence was a sign of darker times to come.
