A mysterious individual who has been living alone in a castle for as long as she can remember, decides to break free in search of human contact and light.
Through endless twilights she dreamed and waited, though knew not what she waited for. Then in the shadowy solitude her longing for light grew so frantic that it could rest no more. She reached below to the forest and into the unknown outer sky. More and more she reflected and wondered what secrets might abide in this woods for many aeons cut off from the castle above. She came upon an icy lake, a cold and unyielding surface of polished glass. Great peaks of mystery loomed in the distance as the low northern sun of noon poured its hazy blue rays over the white snow. Below she finds precious relics saved for times passed, preserved intact by the frost.  On her journey she lets her body flow along the icy stream. Where the ancient river had doubtless flowed through the castle into the mountains.
