*The bright light from the full moon guided his footsteps through the forest. Not that Keller needed the light, for he could see perfectly in the blackest of nights. Still he couldn’t help but think how beautiful the moon was on this night.
On Keller trod towards the lonely graveyard, deep in the forest long forgotten. There was a big old oak tree that sat in the heart of the graveyard. Keller had never been to this graveyard, yet he knew every detail perfectly. His want to sit beneath that old oak and look out over the forgotten graves seemed so natural like he had been doing it for years.
When he arrived at the graveyard he was surprised by an unfamiliar sight. Long big black wings stretched out before him with a girl in the middle. Her wings are so beautiful, he thought, how he longed to reach out and touch them.

The girl not alarmed by his arrival simply looked over at him and slowly smiled a sweet smile.
