A forest of wandering nomads and god-guarded borders.
FIVE DAYS, THROUGH FOGGY UPLANDS
The river forks. The sun is out. Men nap on the bank, or dice in shabby cabanas. A young girl waves. “Guide?” she calls. “Need a guide?”

The forest of Upper Heleng was Time’s lover; he refuses to flow within her borders, and their children the seasons govern her people as gods.
The people of Upper Heleng live amid wonders. They hunt yam-men, trade with rhinos. Demons fall from heaven as meteors. Honeycombs ooze mystic quicksilver — one taste grants indestructibility.
Do not be too greedy, interloper. The leeches here do not take blood. They take other things. A year of your life. A love you know.
