The sky brightened once again.
Thin mist shrouded the vast plains and forests, adding a gauzy veil to everything.
Soft, bright orange morning sunlight slid down from the treetops, collecting on the fields and illuminating the thin mist and the low bushes at the base of the trees.
It was a chilly morning.
Todd huddled in a cramped mountain cave, covered in fallen leaves.
After opening his eyes, he brushed off the leaves from his body, moved the stone blocking the entrance, and sat in the cave, once again gazing at this unfamiliar land.
A primitive, desolate, green land.
This was no longer Earth.
