“We had been lost in this damnable Underdark for hours, but it felt like days. Fear has that effect I suppose. Still, the inky blackness beyond the circle of torch-light felt increasingly menacing, almost malevolent. Perhaps it’s for the best that we decided to turn back. The Underdark is no place for amateur treasure hunters. Gods! Every turn in this cave system looks the same, and we should have gotten to the cave entrance by now. Then…thank goodness! A faint, but perceptible shift in the darkness, just down the cavern. Odd that it has a reddish cast, but perhaps that was just the sunset, shining into the cave mouth? Has it truly been that long? All this trouble, and we never did find the path to the treasure. Ah well, could be worse…”

“My Superhero Mission is to Re-Enchant the World. It’s all too easy these days to feel disenchanted, as though Magic and Wonder are dead and gone, encased in a tomb made of jaded cynicism and modern materialism. Magic and Wonder are still here of course, waiting to be acknowledged. Re-enchantment is attuning to the humming Soul of the World. It’s revealing the hidden layers of meaning that lie just below the surface of things. It’s playing with possibilities. It’s the feeling of a before unseen world crystalizing right before your eyes. Of peering into that unknown yet familiar world, then having the feeling that something is peering back.”
