Staring

You have crossed the line.

You are standing to close, you have brought yourself and your companion into my land.

I stand in this high ground, every muscle in my body tight and tense. This look, telling you to turn around, and take yourself back.

I am the leader of the wild burrows, do not ignore me, pay me the mind I so richly deserve. I am the king.

I stand as high as the earth will allow, this is my kingdom. My curiosity has been closed, yours should be as well. Move on, and find your way out, for this is our land. For centuries.
