When swathes of twisted land are wrought to furrows in the consequence, the maiden’s hand is slyly sought to pacify or damn offence. Though mortals rage at such display, suspicious of its lowly worth, it is but Maiden Nature’s way to expedite her world’s rebirth. Where lies the fury in the peace but in the recess of an eye? Volcano’s lust will never cease, nor will it Nature’s hatred buy.
