The sun rose over the high reaches of The Mountains.  A worn path wound its way over hills and through trees that lined the pathway.  The sun broke through small cracks between the leaves of the trees and speckled the ground in a beautiful spray of light.  A dark cloaked figure drifted along the path with a long walking stick in hand.  The air was cooler in the higher regions of the mountain range and Robert found the temperature quite comfortable in his cloak.  His cloak had been with him a long time, since before he had begun his long journey.
