Chimera Fields long intervals of horrible sanity

After Rannoch’s meeting with Deirdre, he had found himself going south-bound with no real destination in mind. Thoughts of his family, their forest, and the past plagued him in his travels, leaving the child mindless in his wandering. Soon enough, the sea-eyed Benthos had traveled further than he ever had alone, finding the gentle caress of the sea no longer combed at his plushy coat.

He paused suddenly, all too aware of the sudden change of scenery. Concern did not immediately strike him, only enchantment. This all seemed like a dream to him-- these barren lands, the stillness that the mainlands offered, and the gentle caress of the sun, despite the frigid temperatures.

He lingered in place and took it all in, as a uncharacteristic sense of peace overcame him in that moment.
