A mysterious storyteller huddles by a campfire at the edge of a well trodden path. He waits as curious travellers gather by the fireside, the embers acting as a beacon in the night. Finally, he speaks. His voice is smooth, as if well used. His movements and words captivate the growing audience. He speaks omnisciently, sparing no details, as if he were there himself. Story after story, he weaves together. The audience loses track of where one ends and another begins. They soon come to understand, the stories are far more than they seem. Wild fragments, gathered by the storyteller; woven together to paint a vast tapestry. Unwittingly, you have already joined his audience.
