Sorley was a bright young man, who was walking on a bright green path, during a bright summer day. His shirt was sheer from sweat, and he didn't really care. His skin was red from the unyielding sun beams beating down on his body. He didn't really care. The path was more important that that. The path was more important than any mere flesh wound or musty drenched clothes. Even the destination was no more important than the blisters on his feet or the dryness of his eyes. The importance was in the journey itself. It was in the heat rising off the ground and warm breeze flowing around his face. The glow of the trees and the bushes and the flowers made everything in the vicinity acquire a soft green hue. This was important.
