Neverwinter Forest giant steps are what you take, walking on the moon

stargazing thread with @Dashiell !

In the blank plain of snowy earth, Marruz's inky form was stark in contrast to the blotted landscape. His long legs were apt for the task of pulling him along, so that as he moved there was hardly motion in his sable flanks. Today had been one of those quiet, restful days for the boy. Being the introvert that he was, these were the days he most favored.

The sun had only just disappeared beneath the horizon, though it had long fled Marruz's sight. Much to his pleasure, darkness was slowly pushing across the mellow skies; painting the fluff of what few clouds dare speck its ebbing canvas. Though always cautious when in unknown terrain, the darkling could not help but slip his indigo and black gaze towards the heavens. 

A walking shadow, the boy halted just at the lip of an outcropping grove, where he could still train his eye through a sparsity of limbs to peer at the impending abyss. He wanted to watch the stars whenever he could - watch how they changed with the seasons; how they fluctuated as though by the hand of some unknown creator. There were stories up there: timeless epics within a library that was, to Marruz's eye, limitless.
