Birthright
Brandon surveyed the sea of grass standing before him. The wind, which shook the trees and rained leaves down from above, was swallowed up in the green swathe so that the air at ground level was nearly silent.
When he left home, this had been an empty plain of course dirt and stone. Summer storms eroded the land, winter froze what remained, and travel across was rough but manageable.
Now the surface was alive and Brandon was scared. But he was also determined to return to his birthright.
He took only a few steps before he drowned in the vegetation.
