HOW DID THAT GO AGAIN?

There is a world where innocence dies quickly ...

    where the lost seldom find a path back home ...

         and where the broken never seem to heal.

It is presided over by a being behind whose eyes hides a hunger for something he cannot put into words 

but can only burn with the yearning.

Call him DayStar.  He does.

Into this world come heroes who think themselves monsters.  

And they war with DayStar ... and with themselves ...

         to seek a season of peace and love that never seems to last.

But then all beauty is fragile and fleeting ... and mortal. 

HERE IS THE SKEIN OF THEIR DAYS:
