I am awake long before the alarm will go off. Should I turn it off? Should I just get up and get ready? Or should I stay in bed to get as much rest as I can [which will not be half as much as I need, anyways] ?
My bags are packed, my clothes laid out. No, these will not do, I decide. I will take no chances, I want to look my best. Quick, put these away, take out the smarter option, pull out all stops.
When I step out, it is still dark. I peer down the road. Where is my ride? I do not want to be late, to miss the train. My eyes move up the western sky - there she is, the beautiful, almost-full Moon. Smiling down at me. God bless, she says.
I wait there, anxious, my heart brimming. Waiting, to go West. To my hope, my future, my destiny. Am I so near, so close, to that road of my dreams?
I look down the road again, and up to the moon. My eyes move across the skies... Wait! There is the Heavenly Hunter, and the brilliant blue Sirius. My mascots, my lucky stars! Yes. Now I know that this is the right road, nothing will stop me.
I go West.
This one is for my Bear... who is there at the end of the road.

I go east soon, my friend. Let us meet at the crossroads and join wings to fly together a while under the starlit sky, questing, not in vain, for the elusive, ever-present mistress, Nike.
p.s. you can be the highelf enchanter. i'll be the woodelf bard. now alls we need is a fighter, a magician and a thief. or perhaps a warrior, wizard and a monk.
gather our party under yon tumtum tree; i shall stand a while in uffish thought, pondering vorpal strategies for slaying our manxome foe!
/geek off
I've never met a vorpal, and i'm not sure i would want to meet a manxome, but i can be one good thief, i can. warrior too, perhaps. hmmmm.
Then i shall call you baggins. and hide my blue bead preciouss.
