This is one song from a 9 song video album presented by Grand Nathaniel, based in an ever-evolving imaginary and mythological world.&nbsp; The dreamer is coaxed out of his comfortable world, and down into the vast expanse of the semi-known. Through the very beautiful inner forest, the "muse" teases with a fascinating bauble. Terrifying trees guard the borders, but the desire wins out. Into the first valley, bordered by the Hills Of Rind, and the muse throws the bauble endlessly far away down the long road. Red clouds roll in, and giant jackals threaten. In the White Forest, grab a glowing stone, and a fallen branch, and run with a fountain of foxfire in-hand. Time passes, faces change, make it out past the hills The sun turns green. All this time, friends are near, and they call up a beast of incredible size. The beast sacrifices itself to create brand new land to explore. But through a familiar door is the same place where it all began. The journey repeats....
