Let me tell you how it happened...

Didn't expect to hear from me so soon, did you? Well changes are knocking or better yet, are being demanded, and with them come new responsibilities - ones that need to be addressed hardheartedly and with speed. Beware, for the dawn of a new year heralds with it a becoming in the works for almost three decades. Fear not, though, a gentle breeze shall usher its birth, followed by a shroud of mist, beckoning the great winds to come.

Such a commotion had risen in him, he hardly knew how to react. It was like a previously undistinguished painting in the perfect frame, revealing its beauty in full luminous detail. In the sunlight he was a mythical creature, a nymph, with delicate features and opalescent eyes. The most confounding realisation was that it wasn't really anything special that had concealed all this from the world. Just that no one had ever noticed how stunning he was because he had deliberately kept them from seeing it. Why? He asked, his voice husky. Why would you conceal something so beautiful? What are you hiding from?
