I love playing in your fields
They are so bright and yellow
I especially like it when you aren't there
Then I can breathe without recrimination or guilt
Without the guilt of missed opportunities
Without telling myself what a fool I was
So, thank you for the fallow fields
Please surprise me at play
I dearly love to see you

Meet Grar, the Prototype

Here's Grar. He's just a draft. As you can see he has a pigment problem. That's because the version of Michael 4 that I have does not let me use skins I already have for Michael 3 which means I'm going to have to do Grar over in M3. For now, he'll do. Although you see Grar as a warrior this is how he dresses on his time off or maybe in his dreams. Grar is a short guy, compared to the other Pathbreakers, and as a weakling, the job he has is mail carrier. You can see the tension building can't you?

I am a mere 9972 words behind, so it's back to work for me.

Hero and Dog

It's a start.

At the Crossroads

I think he actually said, "Nature is violent." Anyway, the point being that nature isn't always this gentle, sweet woman.
