		<description><![CDATA[At the far north-eastern corner of the most honorable Consortium of Fair Semblances, one chilly April evening, stood three young men, scarcely more than boys, peering into the inscrutable gloom of the Impenetrable Thicket. The two closest to the thicket, remarkably alike in appearance, were in fact brothers, not quite two years apart. The name [...]]]></description>

Looking up intently for a few seconds, the rider finally broke the silence, crying out, “Are you he for whom the trumpet has summoned aid?” Mishael, still not sure what or whom [...]]]></description>

He had no idea what time it was, he only knew that he had been sleeping for a very long time. He was still a little groggy, and insufferably thirsty.
