"Adiona" is the Roman Goddess of safe return.
Adiona offered me her road map swearing safe journey if I traveled on the right fork, but the highway forks are prisons by design. So, off I went without a backward glance. You see, there's a rather peculiar, soulful symphony being at the mercy of a broken compass. The sleepy woods starts leaving their mark, suddenly, the emptiness tastes syrupy sweet on your tongue. There are no more miles left to be counted, no road signs anywhere, simply moss and damp earth under my feet. It may seem as if I'm lost, but never have i known a place that felt more like... home.
