Hello traveller,
I take it you're well rested.
Erwin's magic sent us to sleep.
Come,
Sit by the fire.
For this is as good a place as any,
To bring what is unfinished into the foreground.
It seems that autumn is beginning to speak more clearly.
Summer,
I bow to you.
You have been warm,
Exciting,
Bright.
Perhaps a tad busy,
And a little confusing.
And thank you,
Water,
For your humility and balance,
Your mist and splash.
I do believe we have found our level.
An autumn,
You wonderful,
Airy season,
With your slippery leaves,
Slower songs and wondrous pancakes.
Oh,
What's that up in the sky?
It's a griffin.
Ah,
It's one of Erwin's.
Oh,
It looks like Soft Claw,
The most gentle of the bunch.
Hello,
Soft Claw.
Luckily,
I speak griffonian.
He has a message from Erwin.
Hello,
You two.
Andy,
I'm guessing you're still rambling on about nothing,
And our poor traveler is none the wiser,
Yes?
I suggest that you fly to the in-between for some answers.
You can only get there at the end of autumn,
When all is quiet and settled,
And there is less nonsense.
Take Soft Claw,
He knows the way.
Good luck,
And don't get big-headed if you discover the meaning of life.
Nobody likes a show-off.
Show-off?
She can talk.
All her potion nonsense,
Gooseberry this and pineapple that,
They all taste the same.
And they all do the same thing.
Okay,
Traveler,
It's time to take to the skies,
To find this in-between.
Jump on.
Three spirits,
Lighter than air,
Bound to the earth for a time,
To explore and understand.
Every pattern we see from up here reminds us of how lucky we are.
Everything looks brighter from up here.
Everything.
What is it we're searching for?
Hurry up.
We must be dreaming.
Floating on high winds,
We feel the air in-between our fingers.
It rolls over us as we soar.
The ground below us cools as summer hands over its fiery wake to autumn.
The colours darken into a deep blue with starry cloak and happy moon.
Hello,
Traveler.
It's time to wake up.
Here's a blanket.
It's a bit colder up here in the stars.
We are close to the end of this journey,
On the edge of dawn,
As the gate of autumn creaks open with a sigh.
Oh,
We're here.
Okay,
You can jump down.
It's perfectly safe.
Thank you,
Soft claw.
Your work is done.
You may return to Erwin.
Well,
Traveler,
It's been quite a ride.
In movement,
In stillness,
We have travelled a great distance.
And now it is time to return to your world.
