Born anew
Some distance away in a cave somewhere deep inside the Endless Forest two silhouettes sat beside a small pool of dark yellow liquid not more than 4 meters in size. A continuous stream of gurgling sounds filled the cave that emanated from the thick liquid.
Large bubbles the size of a person's head came off of the pool's seething surface and popped, releasing various sounds that for some reason, sounded like the cries of young children. Five blue petals floated on it's surface, getting displaced by the force of the popping bubbles.
The two silhouettes sat on either side of the pool facing each other. One of them belonged to the neat and tidy countenance of an old man, sitting quietly with his eyes closed. If there was anyone else here they would recognize him instantly as Eurig the Viper.
